“I feel Im so lucky to have done this class, to form my foundation of understanding of DJing. The instructor nurtured my interest and consolidated my goal to be a DJ in clubs.” – DJ Exact
“It’s a great course to get a fully integrated understanding of DJing! I loved the learning process and finally getting to play my own music. The instructor was great, and I’m so glad I invested in the class.” – Eden
“I’m so glad you taught me. You’re the best xoxo” – Paris
“The amazing instructor was instrumental to my understanding of how to be a DJ. Really enjoyed how he explained all the devices and answered the questions. Also the vibe of the school is super nice” – Masha
“It was a super fun and easy way to learn how to mix while making great connections!” – Fabiano
“After only three classes, I am an entirely different DJ. I can’t wait to see how my skills grow over the next six classes! I’m so grateful for my instructor. He feels more like a mentor than a teacher. Everything at Garnish has been top notch. The instructor, location, gear. Taking this class will not just make a dramatic difference in my skills but also a dramatic change in my career. Thank you!” – Heather
“I can’t speak more highly of this course. I am so happy with how much I learned, the length of the course, the quality of equipment, and the stellar instructor. The course syllabus contained nearly everything I wanted to learn and practice. In just a 2-3 classes, I learned more than I had learned in 3-6 months on my own. I am also impressed with the small class size of 4, which allowed for a fantastic learning environment and to bond with one another throughout the 2 months. After finishing the class, I feel like I have truly established a strong foundation of knowledge and skill, as well as the confidence to dive right into playing at open deck nights, at parties with friends, and beginning to plan parties, etc. I am thrilled with my experience. Our instructor was also extremely knowledgeable, patient, and never made us feel anything less than fully capable. Many thanks to Garnish!! I am so happy I committed to this class! – Matt
