“I’d fully recommend this DJ school to whoever is interested in mixing/DJ-ing in Amsterdam, I’ve had a great experience with the school and teacher overall in the past 1.5 years.”
★★★★☆
I am very very happy that I had a chance to learn djing in DJ School Amsterdam. I met such amazing DJ coaches and the best part I liked about this experience, that I could better define my own style and be confident about what I am doing. I am looking forward to see you guys again in future and for those who are wondering if it’s worth it, IT IS! Cheers, BALLYN :)
★★★★☆
My son had an excellent experience with DJ School Amsterdam! He took a 5 hours customized session followed by a short performance. He greatly enjoyed the DJ lessons in a professional environment, well knowledge teachers and well equipped studio. He is highly recommending the studio to everyone willing to improve the DJ skills.
★★★★★
Great people, great atmosphere and a great place to learn everything about being a good dj. As a guy who have never touched a dj gear, I worked with Justin, Donny, Roeland and Bardo (with Olivier organizing everything perfectly) and I made a significant progress in just two weeks thanks to them. They are all so nice, talented, professional and very good at what they do.
