Kids' DJ lessons
on the real kit.

If your child is already glued to music, this is where it becomes a skill. One-to-one lessons in King's Lynn on genuine club equipment — not a toy controller — from a DJ of thirty years. Total beginners are the norm, and you're welcome to sit in for the whole session.

The kit you'll be on

The same gear the clubs use.

Most children's lessons use an entry-level controller. Here your child learns on the equipment they would meet in a real booth, so the skills carry over to anything they pick up later.

Who's teaching

Thirty years of doing it the hard way.

I started on borrowed 1210s in the mid-90s, learning by wrecking mixes in front of people and having someone older tell me exactly why it went wrong. No YouTube, no forums.

I've spent the last while writing all of it down properly — that's the rest of this site: 42 free lessons, no signup, no card. The lessons are the same thing in person, on real gear, with someone watching your hands and telling you why it isn't landing.

I'm a parent myself, and my own son learned on this equipment, so questions about children and lessons get straight answers. If your child has shown a spark for music, the free lessons on this site and the sessions here are built for exactly that.

For parents

What happens at a first lesson.

You both come in

A parent or guardian stays for the whole session. You'll see the room, the equipment and how the lesson runs before anything is expected of your child.

Hands on from minute one

Your child gets on the real decks straight away, starting wherever they are. Nothing is assumed, and it goes at their pace, not a syllabus's.

A clear goal to aim for

A block of four hours is designed to take a beginner from a first mix to playing a proper 30-minute set. You can start with the free 15-minute meet & greet.

Practice at home, free

The site has 42 free lessons and a junior track for children aged 8 and up — no signup, no card — so there's something to try between sessions.

Before you ask

What parents ask first.

What age can my child start DJ lessons?
From around 8 years old. Every child is different, so the free 15-minute meet & greet is the easiest way to find out whether your child is ready — you both come in, see the equipment and meet me, with no obligation to book.
Does a parent have to stay for the lesson?
Yes. For anyone under 18 a parent or guardian is asked to stay for the session, and you are welcome to sit in for the whole hour. I'm also happy to have a chat first so you both know exactly what to expect.
Does my child need any equipment?
No. All equipment is provided. Your child will learn on real club equipment, not a toy controller: Pioneer CDJ-3000X players, a six-channel DJM-V10-LF mixer, Technics SL-1210 turntables, a DJS-1000 and a Denon Prime Go+.
How much do children's DJ lessons cost?
£40 for a single one-hour lesson, or £140 for a block of four hours, which saves £20. The first 15-minute meet & greet is free. A single lesson is exactly that, with no obligation to book a block.
Where do the lessons take place?
In person in King's Lynn, Norfolk, where the equipment lives. It is a full club setup, not something that can be packed into a car. Send an enquiry and I will give you the details when we book.
What will my child actually learn?
Lessons start wherever your child is, including from nothing at all. A block of four hours covers beatmatching, phrasing, EQ, harmonic mixing and building a set, and is designed to get a beginner to playing a proper 30-minute set.
What if my child isn't sure, or finds new places hard?
That's fine. Lessons go at your child's pace, and the free meet & greet is a low-pressure way to see the room and meet me before anyone commits. Message me first if you'd like to talk it through.
Is this a new business? Can I check it's legitimate?
It is a brand new business with no reviews yet, which is exactly why the first 15 minutes are free. Come and see the equipment and meet me first, before you pay for anything. The site also has 42 free lessons with no signup.
Where & what it costs

Kids' DJ lessons in King's Lynn, Norfolk.

Children's lessons happen in person in King's Lynn — one to one, on a full club rig, not a controller on a desk. People travel in from across west Norfolk: it's an easy run from Hunstanton, Downham Market, Wisbech, Swaffham, Fakenham and the coast, and Norwich is under an hour when the A47 behaves.

The rig you learn on

Pioneer CDJ-3000X players, a DJM-V10-LF mixer, Technics SL-1210 turntables, a DJS-1000 sampler and a Denon Prime Go+. Vinyl or digital — both sit in the same room, so you learn on whichever you want (or both).

Prices, kept simple

£40 for a single hour. £140 for a block of four — that's £20 off the hourly rate, and it's long enough to go from your first mix to a proper 30-minute set. First 15-minute meet & greet is free.

Beginners & juniors

Total beginners welcome — most people start from nothing. Juniors welcome too: under-18s bring a parent, who's welcome to sit in for the whole session. My own son learned on this rig, so family questions get straight answers.
