Course description
Sponsored by Pioneer, our DJ Studio offers a fantastic variety of the latest and best DJ kit you can lay your hands on. Many top DJs are successful because they produce music: their profile is raised, promoters hear about them and invite them to play more gigs. This is a three month course, two lecture days per week, designed to give students a fantastic start in the world of DJing. You'll cover everything you need to know about DJing and gain great insights into the world of Music Production using either Logic Pro or Ableton Live. The course is taught by professional DJs and music producers with extensive industry experience who have worked with Wu Tang, Estelle, Omar and Sway amongst others, plus you get unlimited access to supervised practice time in our studios. As well as being a Pioneer and Apple Training Centre, Point Blank offers its students the best equipped Ableton Live facility in the world including seventeen sought after Push 2 controllers, one for each student. This course includes a free Apple Logic 101 exam and text book.
