From afterschool DJ classes, DJ camps, to multi level DJ courses, we are here to bring the joy of music to the people. Founded by the owner of Common Sound, The DJ Academy was created in order to share the art of DJ’ing with those looking to explore a new way of sharing – and listening – to music.
By focusing on turntables and production gear as instruments, performance and creation takes on a completely different shape. While the art of DJing, scratching, and beat making has often been clouded by gimmicks, competition, and commercialism, we bring forward the school of thought that the DJ & Producer is a musician and the turntable an expansive instrument of personal expression.
We would love to help you explore DJing, whether it be with a career goal in mind, or just to explore the art.
