DJ lessons for ages 8 to 15 · Lewisville and DFW
Your kid, behind the decks.
Private and small-group DJ lessons from a working DJ with ten years of mixing, who also plays kids' birthday parties. I bring the controllers and headphones, or I'll teach your child on the gear you already own. They learn to count beats, blend two songs, and play a short set for the family.

The 6-lesson plan
From first spin to show day.
Every lesson ends with something your child can play back for you. Kids who want more keep going after lesson 6 with their own song picks.
- 01Lesson 1
Hear the beat
Counting 4/4, finding the first beat of a bar, and spotting phrases in songs they already know.
- 02Lesson 2
Meet the gear
Jog wheels, play and cue, EQ knobs, channel faders, and the crossfader. Headphones on, volume down, hands on.
- 03Lesson 3
Match the tempo
Using the sync-off controls to line up two songs by ear, then by eye on the waveform.
- 04Lesson 4
The first blend
Bringing a second song in with EQ and faders so the change sounds smooth instead of sudden.
- 05Lesson 5
Build a set
Picking songs that fit together, ordering them for energy, and choosing clean, age-appropriate versions.
- 06Lesson 6
Show day
A 10-minute set played live for family, with a recording they can keep.
Pricing
Start with one lesson.
No contracts. Pay per lesson or by the month. Siblings who share a lesson time get 10% off the second child.

Your teacher
Ten years behind the decks.
I'm Tosin. I have mixed for ten years, and I DJ kids' birthday parties, so I already know how to keep a room of kids dancing and having fun. I also publish my sets online, so you can hear exactly what your child will be learning to do.
By day I'm a senior product manager at a tech company, where I spend my time explaining complicated things to people who have never seen them. That is how I teach DJing too: small steps, plain words, and a lot of hands-on practice.

For parents
Before you book.
Does my child need any equipment?
No. I bring a DJ controller, headphones, and speakers to every lesson. If your child already has gear, I'm happy to teach on that instead, whether it is a starter controller or a full setup. If you're thinking of buying some, ask me first and I'll tell you what is worth it.
My child has never touched music gear. Is that okay?
Yes. Lesson 1 starts with listening and counting, not buttons. Most kids blend two songs by lesson 4.
What music do you play?
Clean, age-appropriate versions only. Kids pick songs they like from a list we agree on with you, and I'll check each one before it is played.
Where do lessons happen, and will a parent be there?
At your home or at a public place such as a library or rec center. For in-home lessons, a parent or guardian stays in the house.
What if we need to reschedule?
Tell me 24 hours ahead and we'll move it, no charge. Later than that, the lesson is billed.
