Inclusive 1:1 music and DJ sessions — shaped around YOU
Calm, creative, confidence-building DJ and music sessions for adults, children, and young people.
Want2DJ supports people who love music but feel overwhelmed or unsure around technology, equipment, or software. We offer a calmer, clearer way to learn, with safety, time, and care built in.
Sessions are Autism- and ADHD-friendly, and prioritise emotional safety, dignity, agency, and consent at every stage.
1:1 sessions are:
Fully personalised
Neurodivergent- and trauma-informed
Safeguarding-led
Prepared using the learner’s own choice of music
Held with care, containment, and clear structure
We work at a pace that supports regulation and confidence — adapting each session to the individual, rather than expecting the person to fit a group, system, or curriculum.
A different approach to DJ learning
Where many DJ schools focus on producing DJs, Want2DJ focuses on supporting the person learning — and helping DJing fit around real life, capacity, and confidence.
Learners of all ages and backgrounds come to Want2DJ to:
build confidence
develop skills
practise safely and steadily
learn without pressure or performance
There is no rush. No expectation to “keep up”. No judgement.
This is for you if you:
Feel unsure where to start with DJing
Feel overwhelmed by technology, software, or online tutorials
Want confidence before committing to something bigger
Need calm, practical, judgement-free support
Are returning to music after a long or busy chapter
You don’t need experience. You don’t need equipment. You don’t need to have anything figured out.
At Want2DJ, learning isn’t rushed or performative. It’s human, paced, and built to fit around your life as it is now — and the music you love.
A different way to begin
Many DJ schools focus on outcomes. Want2DJ focuses on the person learning.
Sessions are relaxed, personalised, and pressure-free — designed to support confidence, not performance.
Step one (optional)
👉 Calm Start Video Session & Orientation
For some learners, meeting a new tutor or coming into a new space can feel like the hardest part.
The Calm Start Video Session & Orientation is a short, gentle video call designed to help you feel familiar, prepared, and at ease before your first in-person session.
This is not a lesson. There’s no pressure to perform or “know anything”.
👉 A relaxed conversation 👉 Complete a simple form (we can help with this if needed)
There’s also no obligation to continue afterwards. You’re free to decide what feels right for you.
Then you can ease into a 30, 60, or 90-minute studio programme.
Step two
Choosing your session length
You can start in a way that matches your energy, attention, and comfort:
30-minute sessions A gentle introduction or confidence-building check-in. Ideal if you’re new, easily overwhelmed, returning after a break, or want to try DJing without pressure.
60-minute sessions A steady, supported learning session with time to practise, pause, and ask questions.
90-minute sessions A deeper session with space for exploration, setup, repetition, and consolidation.
There is no “better” option — just what feels right for you.
What to expect in your first studio session
Together, we may:
Simplify equipment or software so it finally makes sense
Practise mixing using calm, repeatable steps
Gently remove barriers that have been getting in the way
Build confidence through small, achievable moments
Work with your interests and how music shows up for you
There’s no single “right way” to learn here. We follow what supports you.
Learning at home
If learning at home feels safer or more accessible, mobile sessions may be an option.
These are arranged in advance and shaped around:
comfort and emotional safety
clear boundaries
either a first-time setup, or working with what you already use
Everything moves at your pace. Nothing is locked in.
1. Get in touch Start with a relaxed message or conversation. Tell us what you’re curious about and what kind of support you’re looking for — nothing needs to be fully formed.
2. Optional: Calm Start Video Session & Orientation If it helps, you can meet first with a short, gentle video call to get familiar with me, the studio, and what to expect.
This is not a lesson and there’s no obligation to continue. It’s simply there to support comfort and confidence.
3. Complete a simple form We’ll ask you to complete a short booking form so we can prepare properly for you. (We’re very happy to help with this if needed.)
Please select the 15 & under or 16+ form so safeguarding and support are right from the start.
4. Choose your session length Select the option that best fits your energy and comfort:
30 minutes — a gentle introduction or confidence check-in
60 minutes — a steady, supported learning session
90 minutes — more space for setup, exploration, and repetition
There’s no “right” choice — just what feels right for you.
5. Confirmation, payment & simple prep We’ll send an invoice and confirm your session once payment is received. You’ll also receive any simple prep guidance.
You’ll be invited to share 10–15 songs you love (any genre, any decade). This helps us personalise the session around music you already enjoy.
6. Show up as you are Come as you are — no pressure, no performance. We’ll explore music and DJing at your pace, using music you already love.
7. Leave with clarity You’ll finish the session with a clearer sense of what felt good, what helped, and what you’d like to do next — if anything.
You can continue, pause, adjust, or stop. Everything stays in your control.
⭐ Introductory DJ Sessions
A calm, personalised way to begin
Introductory DJ sessions offer a low-pressure starting point for people who love music and want to explore DJing with support, clarity, and care.
They’re designed to help you settle in, build confidence, and see whether DJing feels right for you — without rushing or expectation.
Session guidance
Introductory sessions are usually booked as:
30 minutes — a gentle introduction or confidence check-in
60 minutes — often suited to children and young people
90 minutes — often suited to adults who want more space to explore
These are guidelines only. Sessions are always shaped around the individual.
Single & Bundle Session Pricing as a gift
Because sessions are personalised, pricing is shared clearly after an initial conversation.
Introductory sessions can also be gifted, or used as a one-off way to try DJing without committing to anything ongoing.
There’s no single path into DJing, no required destination, and no pressure to perform.
Your first session is about clarity, not commitment. From there, you choose what — if anything — comes next.
We don’t move people along a set path. We walk beside them while they find their own.
⭐ What makes Want2DJ different
Most DJ lessons focus on outcomes, speed, or performance. Want2DJ focuses on the person learning — and what helps them feel safe, supported, and ready.
Sessions are designed around real people and real nervous systems, not a fixed curriculum or one-size-fits-all approach.
What’s different here:
Learning is paced around the learner’s energy, regulation, and capacity
Sessions are 1:1, personalised, and safeguarding-led
Barriers are anticipated and gently reduced, not ignored or pushed through
Technology is explained clearly and in plain English, without overload
Small starts, pauses, and changes of pace are treated as valid and sensible
Progress is defined by confidence and understanding, not speed or performance
This approach works especially well for people who may struggle in fast-paced, group, or high-pressure learning environments — including those with invisible disabilities, anxiety, or previous negative experiences of learning.
For parents and referrers, this means learners are supported with care, clarity, and dignity. For learners themselves, it means no pressure to perform, explain, or keep up.
DJing is the tool. Confidence, agency, and clarity are the outcomes.
No rush. No burnout. Just steady, supported learning — on your terms.
What children thought of our DJ's School Disco (Year 1 - 2024)!
2025 feedback: "Everything went really well and the children absolutely loved the session. I asked a number of teachers for feedback and they all said it was fantastic."
🌈 Access, learning & flexibility
Sessions are adapted to your pace, energy, sensory needs, and way of learning.
Clear explanations, repetition, breaks, and calm support are built into how we work — not added as an afterthought.
There’s no pressure, no judgement, and no expectation to learn in a particular way.
You’re welcome whether you’re just starting, returning after a break, or learning simply for enjoyment.

“Very friendly, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable. Everything was explained in a way that felt comfortable and easy to follow.”

“Really enjoyable first session. I learned more than I expected in just 90 minutes.”
From parents & carers
“I chose Want2DJ for my son, who was completely new to DJing and had just received some equipment. It was a perfect introduction — fun, enjoyable, and with the technical side explained in a way that really made sense. We’ll definitely be back.”
“My child absolutely loved it. He learned so much and is now asking for DJ equipment at home.”
From professionals
“I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with Michelle to support a young person with communication difficulties. Her sessions create a fun, engaging space where music becomes a natural way to build skills and confidence.
I’ve seen clear development in turn-taking, listening to cues, understanding what’s coming next, and making choices. Michelle adapts her approach exceptionally well, and her flexibility has made a real difference.
I would highly recommend her sessions — they’re not only enjoyable, but a powerful way to build confidence and essential life skills.”

Every journey looks different — but feeling supported makes all the difference.
