FAQ

Is lunch included?

Lunch is not included in our program. We recommend providing a bag lunch for your child or money for them to buy lunch during the lunch break. There are numerous healthy food options a 5 minute walk from our school.

Does my child need to bring a laptop?

No, but they can if they'd prefer to use their own computer.  We will provide access to computers with copies of music production software installed. However, if after the program you wish to purchase a copy of Ableton (the music production software we teach), we offer 40% discounts to all students.

What skills will my child learn?

We'll provide your child a comprehensive introduction to the basic skills needed to DJ and produce music. Everything from setting up equipment and the basics of mixing, to producing beats and making their own synths!

Who are the instructors?

You can learn more about our teaching team here. All staff are DJs and music producers themselves and have extensive experience teaching all ages the principles of DJing and music production.
