School’d DJ Academy offers structured DJ programmes for school-aged students in the Tauranga area. Students can begin as complete beginners and progress through a clear pathway from social DJing to practical mixing, performance development, and supervised practice on professional gear.
For students ready to develop the practical and technical skills of DJing. This programme is designed to turn foundational DJ knowledge into practical mixing skills, with a particular focus on electronic and dance music.
For students who have completed DJ Foundations or already have basic DJ experience. This programme is designed for students who are ready to move beyond basic mixing and begin developing their own performance style.
Supervised hourly practice sessions for students ready to practise on professional DJ equipment to prepare for school discos, showcases, or community events.
Important Note: Pro Gear Practice Sessions are supervised practice and coaching sessions, not unsupervised gear hire.
Prerequisite: Completion of DJ Foundations or tutor approval.
