We are an established studio and official Arts Centre opened to provide specialist teaching, training, and proffesional support for anyone with an interest in todays advanced music industry. Our slogan is 'Reach Your Ambitions', and we aim to help you acheive this.

ABOUT US

We are a small private Chesterfield based studio and the only studio in Derbyshire to offer private DJ tuition. We are the only studio in the UK to offer only one-to-one tuition.

All students at The DJ School are taught by experienced professionals who have had years working in the industry. Our tutors include DJ's that have worked in the UK's top bars and clubs, plus music producers that have worked with artists such as the Chemical Brothers, Nelly Furtado and many more. More on our tutors can be found here.

Our studio is full of every piece of advanced technological equipment a DJ will ever come across in their professional career. This enables all students to be fully prepared for anything they may encounter. Our equipment includes Pioneer CDJ's, Technics 1210's, Ableton Live, Logic Pro and loads more.

The DJ School attracts students from all over the country. Not only do we give you the best possible training throughout your course, we provide support after you finish your course and help you get started in the industry. Some of our graduated students have gone on to play at some of the UK's largest clubs and events, including Europes biggest DJ exhibition the BPM Exhibition held at the NEC in Birmingham.

HELPING OUR COMMUNITY

We are currently working on short programmes and creative workshops to deliver music focused training. Working with different funding companies across the UK our projects will work to deliver the following objectives:

Deliver training and skills to disaffected youth (NEET).
Develop skills in the long term unemployed, lone parents and those on incapacity benefits to help them move along the road to employment.
Support people struggling with health equalities through programs of learning that can provide an alternative and support well being and a sense of achievement particularly those with mental health issues, substance misuse and abuse or disabilities.
Reduce crime and anti-social behaviour.

We find creative projects provide a non-threatening platform for people to explore their potential and bring people into a learning environment they may not other- wise engage in. People from the above target groups can engage with creative workshops that are not reliant on good literacy and numeracy skills. However by nature of taking part these skills will be developed.
