Electronic Music DJ Course | Barcelona
The Garnish Electronic Music DJ course is a split-level course that incorporates the chance to play your own DJ slot at a club night in Barcelona – assuming you make the grade!
The course has been devised in such a way that it caters for both beginners and bedroom DJs. And there’s no better way to learn from one of our exceptional roster of Electronic Music and Hip-Hop DJ instructors than in a group that never exceeds four students.
The whole course has been designed to be fun, and not some stuffy set of lectures – as that’s the best way to learn. If learning to play the most popular genres of electronic music under these terms sounds good to you, it’s time to sign up!
We aren’t able to guarantee that club nights will always be scheduled directly after your course, so if you’re attending this Barcelona course from further afield, that’s definitely worth bearing in mind. Therefore, if you aren’t able to make the lineup on the date in question, but would like to do so on a future night, please note that we’ll do our very best to make that happen.
