Alongside DJing, the gym offers one to one Ableton production courses. This will equip you with the capabilities to create your own tracks. Eventually you may be able to include your own music in a mix, but having an understanding of how tracks are built and composed definitely helps with making your DJing exciting and artistic.

After completing a course you’ll receive a certificate from London Sound Academy and have the chance to join a network of DJ’s, opening up possibilities for getting gigs honing your skills in the real world and embarking on what can be a very exciting career.
