The DJ Academy has been operating for 3 and a half years and is currently the largest DJ training organisation in the UK with operations in Bristol, Birmingham, Worcester, Cardiff, Derby, Reading and Oxford. We run 10 week part time DJ courses in all of the above cities whilst also providing one to one training and intensive day/week DJ’ing courses in Worcester.

The DJ Academy prides itself on being a dynamic and forward thinking organization and aside from the 10 week course the company also delivers youth workshops to local communities in the above areas. These are designed to give young people an introduction to the world of music, DJ’ing and other youth culture activities such as Grafitti Art.

Our participation in education has been gradually growing over the last 3 years and the organisation now has extensive experience of working within the youth and education sector. Past clients have included, Alderbrook School and Arts College, The Learning and Skills Council, Luton Borough Council, Worcestershire City Council, Connexions.

The sessions are flexible and can be delivered in most venues. All we need are tables, a power source and a group of enthusiastic young people. No experience is necessary, and all participants will be given the chance to access hands on activity with state of the art equipment, building confidence and self esteem while learning new skills.

Music captivates and fires the imagination and creativity of young people in a way that few other activities can. By bringing the DJ Academy into your school, youth or community centre young people can experience the excitement and accomplishment of expressing themselves through music. We aim to prove that DJ-ing is not just for the select few but with hard work, commitment and a “can do” attitude individuals can reach their full potential.

DJ-ing as an art form is now as popular as playing a musical instrument itself and can be an outlet for creative expression for young people who are not interested in learning to play a traditional instrument. DJ workshops can also add a multicultural “street appeal” to any school syllabus or extra curricular activity.

The DJ Academy will also provide advice and guidance to individuals or groups interested in pursuing the subject further and who want to get into music as a career. These individuals would be able to attend the full 10 week program at specially reduced rates. For further details on this please log onto to our website at www.djacademy.org.uk.
