Turntablism

Turntablism is when people use record players called turntables to make music. They do this by scratching the records with their hands to create different sounds and beats. Some turntablists also use other equipment like mixers and samplers to make even more sounds.

So, you know how you can take a crayon and draw a picture? Well, turntablism is kinda like that but with music. Instead of drawing, people use record players to create sounds that are like different colors. They use their hands to move the records back and forth to make different sounds and beats, just like how you can use a crayon to draw different lines and shapes.

It's really cool because you can mix different songs together and make something totally new. Think of it like making a new recipe by combining different ingredients. Turntablism is all about being creative and experimenting with sounds to make something unique and awesome!
