Would just like to thank Rob and Mark for an amazing 3 days. Just finished the 3 day DJ course and learned so much in 3 days. I've gained Invaluable info and knowledge and will be taking it to the next level over the next few months not to mention heading back for the music production course.



Thanks lads. Had a wicked time and what was more important to me was having some fun

User

So I set out 5 weeks ago to finally learn to mix, something I've wanted to do for almost 10 years now! Thanks to Ash for his 121 teaching and experience of knowing how to make it simple. Gutted the lessons have finished (for now) but we finished the mix and its decent. I've got plenty to take with me and continue enjoying my music. Thanks again Ash you've been a legend and to all then MMADJ crew, top lads, top place. Loved it.

User

My gf got me a day with these boys as a gift and I loved every minute. Went through lots of tips and tricks and with the years of experience these boys have can point anyone at any dj stage in the right direction, going through everything easily for anyone to understand. It's great that these boys have so much passion about djing and music that they can share with people.

Would recommend this to anyone.

User

Mark and Rob are brilliant. So accommodating on lesson times. Rob taught me and is fab. A genius at what he does but very modest. He is a very patient teacher, explains things in a really clear and simple way, gives encouragement and is always willing to go above and beyond in helping to learn and pick DJ equipment / tracks etc. I love every lesson and would definitely recommend Mark and Rob to everyone.

User

Just finished my DJ course with Mark, been learning with him around 2 months, having a lesson a week. Never thought I would be able to master Djing properly but now I have my first gig playing out this week and cant wait to get behind the decks! If your interested in learning how to DJ, book up now iv enjoyed every minute of it and feel very confident with the skills I have gained.

User

Just finished my 3 day crash course and can’t praise MakeMeaDJ enough.



I have no ambition of ever playing in public but had been toying with the idea of learning about mixing for a long time. When I finally signed up I wasn’t sure whether I’d be out of place there - I shouldn’t have worried.



Ash was a great and patient teacher who tailored the course to my needs and made it an all round perfect experience, from mixing, equipment advice to lunch tips! Absolutely loved the three days and have now bought my own deck to play around with.



Met Mark briefly as well and both he and Ash seem genuinely top blokes. Strongly recommend them and I’ll definitely be back for more.

User

I've just had the best 3 days ever, had absolutely no experience. Never matched a beat in my life. Robs experience, knowledge and patience have set me well on my way for my future goals. I'll 100% be back for the production course. Thank you so much!!

User

I've always had a passion for electronic music, a regular club and festival go'er and delved into basic software-based djing at home.

However, I wanted to take my djing further and open windows and possibilities for getting gigs and club nights by learning to play on the industry standard equipment.

I scoured the internet for local tuition and after reading up on Mark's professional background at one of the North West's leading dance music franchises Sankeys, I was more than impressed and took the decision to book myself on a 3 day crash course.

Mark was a very good teacher, patient and very clear in his instructions. I managed to pick up the necessary fundamental skills very quickly and surprised myself with the fast progress I was making and it has filled me with the confidence that I would be able to take my new learnt skills into performing for a crowd.

Mark was full of great advice about the industry and was open to answer all my relevant questions as well as becoming and remaining a long term contact for the future.

I would highly recommend Mark to anybody looking to get into djing or take their hobby further. The course is good value for money, you get to learn and play on the finest industry standard equipment and you definitely feel like you receive what is promised.

I've always dreamt of being a DJ... and in my 40s I realised it's about time I lived my dream! For Christmas, I asked my wife to book me a one-to-one 3 day intensive DJ course with Make Me A DJ in Manchester.



I received my gift voucher on Christmas Day and took the course in with Ash last month. The 3 days went by so fast, but I learned SO much. I'd never even touched a set of CDJs or mixer before, but Ash took me from nothing to creating my own 1 hour 15 minute trance mix in just those 3 days.



I loved the course so much that within a week of completing the course, I went out and bought my own Pioneer XDJ-RX DJ System and set of monitor speakers. A month on now and I've recorded a second trance mix of my own and uploaded it to MixCloud.



I would definitely recommend the 3 day intensive course to anyone who wants to learn the art of DJing - I'm booking in a further 6 hours' training with Make Me A DJ in order to refine my skills even further.



Thanks so much to Ash and all the team at Make Me A DJ.

User

I would highly recommend MMADJ too anyone who wants too learn Djing/producing, very good company, I had rob at first then changed over too ash, both great guys with good tutorial skills

User

I strongly recommend Make Me A DJ, I had a two hour lesson with Ash on 1 to 1 and my mixes sound much better already, so booked another 10 hours lessons and I can't wait for my next one. Once again, really good. So what are you waiting for, go for it mon...hahaha...

User

I had a few sessions with Mark to improve my production skills. It has helped me a lot. I have learnt so much in just 6 hours. Both Mark and Ash are top down to earth lads. Great place, will definitely be returning!

User

I had a 3 day crash course last week and absolutely loved it! I learnt so much and it massively boosted my confidence, I felt really comfortable on decks by the end. The teaching is just what I needed, very supportive and reassuring. Buzzing to come away with my own mix! Will definitely be back to do a day of advanced training.

User

I bought a 3 crash course for my boyfriend's birthday and can honestly say it was worth every penny and that was just to see the smile on his face! He says that Rob was a fantastic teacher, professional, patient, attentive, knowledgeable and fun to work with. What more could you ask for? Nice one guys!

User

Having Traktor S4 at home and having not used CDJ's for over a year, I booked in to get a refresher with Ash in preparation for an upcoming gig in Bristol. Ash gave me loads of really useful pointers and also helped me incorporate some Trance tunes seamlessly into my set at the request of the party organiser. The gig went really well, smashed it and everyone left happy. Thanks to Ash for the refresher and Mark for organising.

User

Have had a number of 1:1 lessons with Ashley to get back into swing of DJ'ing, has been thoroughly enjoyable and can't recommend these guys enough!! Both Mark and Ashley are not only top lads but work in the field and kind enough to share their knowledge. Then had the confidence to program and prepare own set and record a mix with all of the tips and guidance provided, top class..

User

Had production lessons on abelton... Extremely worth while, I'm now at a point where I can actually get my ideas down and finish them! No longer are they sat on my lap top not doing much because I've hit a brick wall :) nothing better than seeing your ideas take shap and come to life! Thanks to the lessons I've had, this has started to happen 100 times quicker than if I'd carried on struggling at home on my own. One of the best desisions I've made! Thanks Mark :)

User

Had a great three days with Rob. Passed on some great skills, advised on gear. Been playing for a couple of years but now feel I have the background to do so much more and work creatively. Well worth it. Thanks guys.
