The rule of 32 refers to how most electronic and dance tracks are built in 32-beat phrases.

Think of a phrase as a chunk of music that has a beginning, middle, and natural end.

• Electronic music typically structures itself around 8 bars, or 32 beats per phrase.
• Tracks introduce new sounds, remove layers, or hit drops at 32-beat intervals.
• Phrase-aligned transitions feel smooth because both tracks change together.

Once you hear in phrases, you can anticipate drops and plan transitions with confidence.

The average price for a DJ lesson in Edinburgh is around £23/h.

Prices differ based on the tutor and lesson format.

• The complexity of what you want to learn, such as beatmatching or scratching
• Your teacher's credentials, such as industry certifications or performance history
• Whether you book single lessons or commit to a regular course
• Whether lessons happen via video call, in a professional studio, or at your place

Booking multiple lessons upfront often reduces the hourly cost. Video-based tuition removes travel costs and often comes at lower rates. A first trial lesson is often free or discounted so you can assess the fit.

In most cases, DJs performing in licensed venues do not need their own licence.

A PRS licence allows a venue to play copyrighted music legally in public.

• Established clubs handle licensing so their DJs can focus on performing.
• If you DJ at private parties in unlicensed spaces, you might need separate cover.
• Online performances have their own rules separate from live venue performances.

A quick question to the venue manager can save you from potential legal issues.
