What You'll Cover

Level 1 is designed to move you from "knowing what the buttons do" to developing a natural, confident flow. This is all about active practice — honing your ears and your hands. Across the 4 weeks, you'll explore:

Gear, Software & Setup — Get hands-on with DJ equipment and learn to set up a full DJ system from scratch, including the essentials of Rekordbox software.
Mixing Techniques & FX — Learn to sync tempos (BPM) manually and practise smooth transitions using filters and creative effects.
The Art of Beatmatching — Dive into the crucial skill of manual beatmatching, identifying beat patterns, and using faders for seamless blends.
Phrasing & Selection — Understand music structure (bars and phrasing) and use headphones to cue your tracks like a pro.

By the end of this course, you'll have the skills and confidence to progress directly to our Level 2: BEGINNERS workshop.

Why Join?

Intimate Learning — Limited class size means maximum hands-on time and direct, personalised feedback.
Learn on Industry-Standard Software — You'll train on the same software used by working DJs, so what you learn is immediately transferable to real venues and setups.
Structured Progression — Unlike YouTube tutorials or self-teaching, this course gives you a clear, guided path so you build skills in the right order without picking up bad habits.
Instant Feedback — Having a professional DJ in the room means mistakes get corrected in real time, not after weeks of practising them wrong.
Learn From Someone Who's Done It — Tendai has DJed professionally and internationally as a Radio Station Manager, Resident DJ, club DJ, Rollerskating DJ, held a monthly residency at a City hotel, and run DJ workshops across multiple London Boroughs. Everything taught comes from real-world experience, not just theory.
Build a Skill for Life — DJing is something you can do at parties, events, or just for yourself. Once you've got it, you've got it.
It's Just 2 Hours a Week — Low commitment, high reward. Four sessions and you'll have a genuine, tangible new skill.
Real Performance Opportunity — "Gig-ready" students will be invited to join the lineup for my 10th Anniversary Party in November 2026 (date TBC). This could be your first official paid booking — the perfect way to kickstart your professional DJ journey!
Join a Community — Connect with like-minded people who are on the same journey. Past students have gone on to collaborate, and support each other after the course ends.
