The student in these photos is my son — I taught him to DJ from scratch with these same lessons, and he now plays gigs alongside me.

Don’t just take my word for it — here’s a recent client from a night Jack worked alongside me:

“We had a great evening! Music was perfect, everyone danced all night and Daniel and Jack were very helpful and did a fantastic job! Highly recommend.”— Naomi Neves, five-star Google review

Why DJ lessons work

My DJ lessons are hands-on from the very first session — your child starts with the basics and building up, lesson by lesson, to beatmatching, mixing and putting together a set of their own. The lessons build confidence, creativity and real music skills, disguised as the best half hour of their week.

Hi — I’m Daniel, a working DJ with over 25 years’ experience, from club and pub residencies to weddings and parties, and a qualified secondary-school music teacher and head of department. Your child learns from someone who does this for real, week in, week out, and knows how to teach it — I’m enhanced-DBS checked and fully insured.

“What surprised me was how quickly it clicked. Within a few lessons I was putting together mixes I was genuinely proud to send my mates.”— Jack, aka DJ JCH

Who it’s for

Any teen can learn to DJ — whatever their ability or musical background.

Total beginners who have never touched a deck and want a fun, clear way in.
App mixers — teens experimenting with a DJ app at home, ready to learn properly on real equipment.
Young DJs already mixing, who want to take it to the next level and perform like a pro.
Every student records a mix to keep and share — a real achievement they can send to friends and family after each term.
  • One-to-one tuition — personal lessons in your own home, pitched exactly to your child’s level, whether they’re brand new to it or already making mixes.
  • All gear included — I bring the decks and headphones to every lesson. Nothing to buy, nothing to set up.
  • Safe and professional — enhanced-DBS checked and fully insured, and parents are always welcome to sit in.
  • Student discount on gear — every student gets a discount at the specialist DJ shop I buy my own equipment from, for when they’re ready for a controller of their own.

Getting started is easy

Booking DJ lessons is easy — from first message to first mix in three simple steps.

Step 1

Send a quick enquiry with your child’s age and your town, and we’ll take it from there.

Step 2

We agree a time that suits your child’s routine — after school or weekends.

Step 3

Start mixing

I arrive with everything and your child is mixing real tracks from the very first lesson.

Book your child’s place

Simple, termly pricing

DJ lessons run in terms, just like school music lessons — a block of 10 one-to-one sessions that rolls on each term as your child moves up.

A term of lessons

£275/term

10 weekly 30-minute lessons, building skills term on term as your child progresses — cancel any time.

The first lesson is your trial — if it’s not for your child, I’ll refund the rest of the term.

Enrol now

Enrolling starts with a quick enquiry via the contact form or WhatsApp — nothing to pay until we’ve spoken and you’re happy.

Built to keep going — like grades in music

Clear progression. Skills build term by term, with a clear next step to aim for.
Real goals. A recorded mix every term, a certificate to work towards, and a chance to perform — reasons to stay and improve.
Practice between lessons. Playlists, challenges and guidance to work on at home, so momentum keeps building all year.

All equipment provided. Prices are per student — ask about siblings or friends sharing a session.
