Before you enroll
Quick answers.
Do I need any experience?
None. The course starts from zero, on club-standard gear.
Am I too old to start?
No. Many of our students start in their 30s, 40s and 50s. DJing is about ears and timing, and both get better with life experience.
How long is each lesson?
One hour. Ten private lessons in total, 1-on-1 with your instructor.
How do I book my lessons?
Right after checkout you get a link to book your lessons online, at times that work for you, plus an invite to our student WhatsApp chat.
Do I need my own equipment?
No. You learn on our Pioneer CDJ-3000s and DJM-900NXS2 at the studio, 320 NE 62nd St, Miami.
What happens after the course?
You graduate with your recorded 30-minute set and join our WhatsApp community: gig leads, Open Decks and people to play with.
