Gift vouchersWhat our students and parents say
Real recommendations from DJ Archie School students and parents on Facebook.
I had decks sat in my room for over 2 years but did not understand what to do… In just 8 weeks Burt has taught me so much, and made me confident in what I am doing… The sessions are easy going, no pressure and more importantly fun!
Under Gareth's care, she's gone from hiding away in her room with her headphones on, to putting her sets together and loving playing us what she's learnt. To then perform her graduation… was such a huge leap in her confidence, it was like watching a different girl.
Exile has been my tutor over 8 weeks and I can honestly say he has been immense, with patience, kindness and his knowledge. Get on one of these courses if you are even slightly thinking about it, as you won't regret it.
