DJ Qbert, who features in the new DJ Hero 2 game from Activision and was crowned "America''s Best DJ" by DJ Times last year, developed the art of using the turntable as a musical instrument by inventing styles and creating unique scratching techniques. Using the ArtistWorks technology, which features video lessons-exchange with the instructor, students are able to learn by virtually visiting Qbert''s Octagon studio on their iPad or iPhone. Students can then submit videos to DJ Qbert for critique, guidance and personalized instruction.
