My son started DJ lessons with Daniel a few weeks ago. Daniel comes to our house in Tring and brings all necessary equipment. My son has been loving his lessons and benefits from Daniel’s patience and knowledge! Thoroughly recommend!

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.

Daniel teaching a one-to-one DJ lesson at a student’s home

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

Book a session

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.

Where our students go

It’s not just about the decks — the part I’m proudest of is the love of music and confidence that stays with students long after the lessons stop. Here’s a former student, Kyna, in her own words:

“You were the teacher who kept my love for music alive. Thanks to you, I’m at university studying performing arts, teaching primary-school choir and singing lessons, and playing the piano. You’ve been a big inspiration in my life — I really do owe it to you.”— Kyna, former student

Kyna sent that while she was studying — she’s since graduated from Buckinghamshire University and is now working in film.

And my eldest son — my first student — now works real gigs alongside me. Here’s a client from one of those nights:

“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

Simple pricing — lessons in blocks of ten

DJ lessons are taught in blocks of ten across a term — one-to-one, in your own home, all equipment provided. Terms roll on as your child moves up.

A term of hour-long lessons

One hour

THE STANDARD LESSON

Ten weekly one-to-one hour lessons — long enough to learn a full skill, practise it properly and record the result. £50 a lesson, and less per minute than the half-hour.

A term of lessons

Thirty minutes

A STARTING POINT

Ten weekly one-to-one half-hour lessons — a good starting point for younger students, or for finding out whether it’s their thing. Most students move up to the hour.

Not sure yet? Book a one-off trial lesson — a full hour, £30 — and see how they get on before committing to a term. Terms carry on unless you let me know by lesson eight, and there’s nothing to pay until you’ve had your offer and you’re happy — a relaxed way to find out whether DJ lessons are the right fit for your child.

Enrol now

Enrolling starts with a quick enquiry via the enquiry 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.
