2. Networking In the Industry 

One strong advantage to learning DJ skills through a class is the benefits of networking. Studying your DJ skills and techniques in a class environment can increase your network of contacts within the DJ industry. 

Networking is about sharing, not taking. It’s about forming trust and helping one another toward goals. Networking is a must when it comes to being a DJ. It’ll help you go from beginner DJ to multiple gigs a week. Learning with a community and learning from an instructor opens you up to a world of connections right in front of you. 

3. Exposure to Different Musical Perspectives

One of the most beautiful features of the art of the DJ is that every DJ has its own unique style. You may use the same software, same physical equipment, and the same records, but your DJ style will be what defines who you are as a distinctive DJ.

A surprising benefit of taking DJ classes is the wide range of DJ styles and approaches that you’ll be exposed to. One simple DJ skills may be used in many different perspectives. Learning with other DJ’s will help you brainstorm different approaches and see the DJ craft in perspectives you never would by learning on your own. 

Some of the most prolific artists such as Prince, David Bowie, and Drake created a long-lasting dynasty of music because they’re not afraid to explore different musical perspectives. This is a rare (and my personal favorite) advantage of crafting your DJ skills in a class setting. 

DJ Students Building their Skills with Each Other  

By being in a class environment, you’ll make friends who share the same passion for DJing as you do. You could go even further and expand your DJ practice by collaborating with your fellow classmates on your own time. Your classmates can be a great encouragement for creating and keeping you disciplined on your DJ craft. 

4. Speed up the Learning Process 

Learning how to become a DJ by yourself can be a long and daunting task. You have to navigate the net to find the correct learning resources for your DJ skillset. Then you need to filter the best learning resources within YouTube videos, forums, etc. 

On top of that, you need to teach yourself every basic lesson while making sure you’re being taught the correct way. You need to do research on the channel's your watching to make sure they’re qualified to teach you. No one is there to correct your mistakes for you. This means it might take months for you to learn how to do some of the most basic DJ skills on your own.

But if you were in a controlled learning environment a professional DJ can tell you what’s wrong with your technique in a matter of seconds. This is the power of having a teacher to confide in when you feel lost during the learning process. 

A DJ class taught by an instructor can save you a lot of time, energy, and frustration. That is why taking a DJ class if for the serious learner and not for the curious. 

Another way a DJ class can speed up your personal development as a DJ is through your interpersonal skills. Having an instructor and peers to communicate your craft will keep your social skills sharp. One feature that can’t be replicated through self-taught methods. At Rock and Soul, we help speed up the learning process even more with the use of our professional equipment
