Course Description:

'' The Music Industry is now the largest segment of the international entertainment market, and within the Industry itself, it has been dance music, which has grown most rapidly during the past decade. Today, dance music is the primary component of British youth culture and the status of the DJ is clear. ... With new music styles and the shift from club P.A.s to fully blown live performances, the DJ is now an integral member of many bands, respected as a musician in his or her own right, often attaining superstar status.

THE ORIGINAL DJ COURSE »

In order to fully explore the increasing range of skills necessary to become a professional DJ, we originally brought together some of Manchester’s most prestigious club and radio DJs (Galaxy 102FM), Promoters and venues (including the long lost Hacienda!) to input their expertise in formulating the North’s first and finest DJ course. Since its launch in 1996, the M.M.S. DJ course has proven to be one of the most successful ways into the industry, attracting people from around the world.

Naturally, in this fast moving sector, equipment and curriculums are constantly reviewed so that our students are kept at the cutting edge of both technical developments and artistic trends in the Industry.
The course leader has been a professional DJ for 12 years, promoting club events and writing music within the fields of drum ’n’ bass, beats and more recently deep house. In addition to DJ work across the U.K. and abroad, he has remixed for EMI, runs Jus Listen Productions and has a wealth of broadcasting experience. Recent involvement in co organising music conventions and dealing with the DJs at Manchester’s Depercussion festival illustrates the wealth of his music business knowledge.

COURSE OUTLINE »

The intensive 10-week course, aimed at beginner and intermediate DJs is taught in our purpose built DJ suites, equipped with the latest Technics, Pioneer, Vestax and Stanton equipment. As such, students are always working with the latest pro-DJ products, alongside pro-studio effects, sound processors and samplers.



COURSE STRUCTURE »

The formula for the success of this programme is the personal nature of our in-studio tuition, with groups of 6 or less learning the creative operation of DJ equipment through practical tuition and interaction. The course deals with both creative DJ skills and the business realm of the industry. Initially mixing techniques are taught, and then the importance of creativity and individuality in the mix are explored, before real world club and radio DJ environments are experienced and outlined by professional guests on our exclusive tours.
The DJ course comes to an end with a chance of a lifetime opportunity to mix live at one of Manchester’s leading clubs. In a private session behind closed doors, students are shown the layout and workings of the sound system first-hand, gaining valuable DJ experience.

There is no written exam on this course but students are encouraged to compile a demo mix in the studio, demonstrating the skills they have acquired over the duration of the course.
