THE 'ALL IN ONE' part-time vocational training for DJS
Getting started as a DJ yourself is quite a challenge. Technically it is not that difficult; the DJ sets are super advanced. If you intend to actually achieve something with it, it becomes more difficult: you have to be able to play all-round AND in your genre. You have to be up to date with the best tracks at all times, you have to be able to remix and edit, so basic skills in Ableton cannot be lacking either. And then you need to know how the music industry works, how best to promote yourself, and where to get the best gigs!
So our DJ Academy provides you with all the tools and handles you need to stand firm as a DJ in any situation. Within 6 months, you'll really learn everything you need to know, from respected industry professionals. You'll be taught in small groups or private lessons, and you'll get to come and practice on a professional set for 4 hours every week so you can also be sure you have enough practice.
Our teachers all have more than 15 years of experience. They share their knowledge with love! You save a whole lot of time, and frustration as a result!

WHY STUDY AT THE MTM DJ ACADEMY?
Getting good DJs is a big problem in the club scene right now. Many people call themselves DJs, but do not possess the right skills to put down a good set. A successful performance requires thorough preparation, being able to assess your audience, fully understanding your DJ hardware and choosing the right tracks at the right time. You also need to master entrepreneurial skills such as reviewing contracts, building business relationships, billing and filing tax returns. You also need to know how to handle social media and how to best profile yourself in the music industry.
In short, the life of a DJ is a challenging mix of technology, creativity and entrepreneurship and there's a whole lot more to it than just spinning a few records.... That's why we have incorporated all these important elements into our training so that you will be fully prepared for any scenario. So we don't just work on your skills behind the turntable, but on all the skills you need to be successful as a modern DJ.
