🎧 DJ Training for Real People
Real lives, real nerves, real curiosity — and real dreams
DJ Training designed around real humans — not ideal learners.
Where many DJ schools focus on producing DJs,
Want2DJ focuses on supporting people.
You don’t come here because you’re confident.
You come to build confidence safely, steadily, and without pressure.
🎧 Ready for a Hobby or Career That Finally Feels Like Home?
🎤 Your voice. Your music. Your pace.
At Want2DJ, everything revolves around you —
your learning style, your confidence level, your abilities, your musical tastes, your rhythm, and the direction you feel pulled towards.
Whether you’re:
✨ looking at what to buy as your very first set of decks
✨ returning to music after a long, busy chapter
✨ or trying to keep your dream alive around work, family, and real life…
We help you build the skills, confidence, and visibility to find an audience that adores you and even earn from something you love — no stage, mic, or camera required.
We invite you to explore and guide you step by step, at your pace, in a way that feels calm, clear, and genuinely doable.
If you’ve ever thought, “DJing probably isn’t for someone like me,”
Want2DJ is exactly where you should start.
You don’t have to prove anything.
You don’t have to keep up.
You just have to be willing to try — once.
We don’t ask learners to fit a system.
We adapt the system to the learner.
Because when someone feels safe enough to learn,
the DJ skills follow naturally.
Want2DJ is built for people who feel anxious, overwhelmed, out of practice, or unsure where they fit — and who want a calmer, more human way to learn.
Instead of expecting you to keep up, we adapt the learning to you — your pace, your energy, your nervous system, and your real life.
You don’t come to Want2DJ because you’re confident.
You come to build confidence safely, steadily, and without pressure.
If you’re feeling anxious, excited, overwhelmed — or quietly wondering whether you might be capable of this —
you’re in the right place.
We don’t produce DJs at speed. We create the conditions where learning feels possible, enjoyable, and sustainable.
Everything is slowed down and broken into clear, simple steps.
The space is safe enough to begin — and supportive enough to gently stretch when you’re ready.
No one is born a confident DJ.
Confidence grows through patience, practice, and the right support.
You don’t need to learn quickly.
You don’t need to know anything before you arrive.
You just need to show up to your first session —
And we’ll build the rest together, at your pace.
🎧 Build Confidence. Craft Your Sound.
Learn in a way that makes sense to you.
Every session is shaped around you — your goals, your natural rhythm, how you live and work and the way you learn best.

-
create your own 30-minute mix

-

🎧 This is a good fit if you’re:
-
completely new to DJing, with no prior experience
-
a hobbyist wanting more confidence and structure
-
working towards professional skills at your own pace
-
anxious or neurodivergent and needing a gentler approach
-
returning to music after a long break
-
looking for clarity, confidence, and calm
Any age. Any background. Any genre.
If the music, the decks, or the dancefloor are calling you — you belong here.
🎧 Choose what works for you
Everyone learns differently — and that’s expected here.

⭐ What Makes Us Different
Most DJ lessons assume you’ll keep up.
That works for some people — but many learners need something gentler, clearer, and more human.
Want2DJ is designed for the people traditional DJ schools and academies often overlook.
Here, you’ll find:
-
learning that moves at your pace, not the teacher’s
-
calm, steady guidance when anxiety, nerves, or overwhelm show up
-
clear, jargon-free explanations — no pretending you understand
-
sensory-aware teaching in a space that feels safe and respectful
-
grounded tech support, so you’re never afraid of “breaking something”
-
gentle structure, repetition, and reassurance where it helps
-
simple follow-up notes, so nothing gets lost or forgotten
-
teaching that respects your health, energy, and capacity
This is DJ learning for real people with real lives —
not a one-speed, one-style, one-size-fits-all approach.
This is DJ training that adapts to you.
⭐ What You’ll Walk Away With
✨ Confidence you can actually feel
Not performance bravado.
Not fake-it-til-you-make-it.
Real, grounded confidence built from clarity and understanding.
✨ A clearer, calmer setup
Organised playlists.
Tidy files.
Fewer errors.
A layout that makes sense to your brain.
Tech that stops getting in the way of your creativity.
✨ Skills you can use anywhere
Beatmatching, transitions, mixing, music prep, gig prep —
taught step by step, at your pace, in a way that sticks.
✨ Tech that finally makes sense
Rekordbox, Serato, VirtualDJ, controllers, USBs, CDJs —
explained in plain English, without assumptions or pressure.
✨ A personalised plan
Clear next steps shaped around your goals, your capacity, and your life —
so progress feels doable, not daunting.
✨ Support you can genuinely lean on
You won’t leave thinking, “What now?”
You’ll leave knowing exactly what you’re doing —
and exactly what to do next.
Whatever You Need, There’s a Path
for It
People usually choose one of three paths:
• a single session to fix a tech issue or get clarity
• a bundle to build confidence, structure, or a routine
• ongoing support to keep improving, stay organised, and feel fully ready for gigs
In-Person Sessions Are Ideal For:
• Hands-on music work (mixing, beatmatching, EQ, transitions)
• Learning to use CDJs, controllers, or physical equipment
• Fixing tech issues with your setup in real time
• Sound-related learning, where you need to hear everything clearly
• Practising for live gigs or building performance confidence
• Anyone who benefits from calm, structured, in-person guidance
In-person is simply smoother for anything that relies on clear audio, timing, or equipment demonstrations.
Online Sessions Work Brilliantly For:
• Planning your first purchase (decks, software, speakers)
• Building playlists, organising your library, or learning Rekordbox, Serato and Virtual DJ basics
• Theory, strategy, confidence coaching, and troubleshooting
• Preparing for gigs, livestream planning, organising and practising your intro/flow
• Learning at home when travel, health, or energy is limited
• People who prefer quieter, private learning spaces
Online is perfect for calm, focused, step-by-step support without needing to travel.
How We Usually Recommend It
You can work with us in person or online — whatever fits your day, capacity, and comfort.
If we’re doing hands-on mixing or sound-critical work, in person is usually best.
If you want clarity, confidence, organisation, or tech guidance, online is brilliant.
🌈 Access & Inclusion
DJ Support That Meets You Where You Are 🎧
At Want2DJ, you’re welcome exactly as you are.
Your pace, your preferences, your capacity, and your way of processing things all matter.
Whether you need extra support, a gentler approach, or a completely different rhythm, this space was created with you in mind.
We’re all born confident.
Every DJ already has something inside them — they just need the right support to unlock it and empower creativity.
That’s where we come in.
Some prefer quiet, private sessions.
Some are reconnecting with music after a long break.
Some enjoy livestreaming from home.
Some dip in and out depending on health, confidence, capacity, or whatever else life throws at them.
You might want to:
• play your first set without panic
• stream live from home
• organise your music library
• or learn at a slower, steadier pace
All of that is completely fine — we shape the learning around you, not the other way round.
What We Honour
We respect your:
• needs, preferences, and neurotype
• sensory profile, trauma history, and nervous system
• fluctuating energy and confidence levels
so you can enjoy learning without pressure or masking.
What This Can Include
🟡 Different learning speeds and communication styles
🟡 Breaks, repetition, and step-by-step guidance
🟡 Support with tech overwhelm, confidence dips, and creative blocks
🟡 Space for invisible disabilities, fatigue, or changing capacity
🟡 A calm, steady approach when things feel too big or too fast
This isn’t just DJ training — it’s a safe, flexible environment where you can experiment, grow, and explore who you are through all the different types of music you love.
🎚️ What You Can Expect
No pressure.
No judgement.
No “one right way”.
Just real support from someone who understands how varied and unpredictable life — and the industry — can be, and is here to make things easier, clearer, and far more enjoyable to get where you'd really love to go.
💌 Want to talk first?
