About dj lessons

Learn to move a room

Whether you're interested in rocking a party, providing the perfect soundtrack for a private event, or expressing your love of music in a new way, Sunburst's instructors are equipped to guide you along your musical path. Using industry-standard Serato software, each lesson is tailored to support a student's individual needs. Along the way, students will learn how to build digital crates of their favorite tunes, explore the features of a DJ mixer, create smooth blends and transitions between songs, and execute a full DJ set to keep the crowd dancing!

Ready to take it to the stage? Sunburst's seasonal recitals are a great way to get in front of an audience, test a new mix, and connect with other music lovers.

Frequently asked questions

Good to know before you book

What happens at a trial lesson?

You'll meet one-on-one with a teacher we match to your age, taste, and goals. You'll play, talk about what you want to learn, and leave with a plan to help reach your goals. Trials run 20 to 60 minutes, cost $25 to $50, and are limited to one per student per instructor.

Do I need my own DJ equipment?

Sunburst provides computers running Serato DJ software, a Pioneer DDJ-FLX4 DJ controller, and headphones. Students are encouraged to bring USB flash drives to share audio files as a part of their lessons. Accommodations for students interested in using their own equipment setups can be made, but communication with their instructor is encouraged to ensure the smoothest possible experience.

What ages do you teach?

Kids, teens, and adults, from young beginners to retirees. 20-minute lessons are for ages 4-5, for most older kids we recommend 30-45 minutes, and for adults we recommend 45-60 minutes. For little ones ages 0 to 5, our Music Together® classes are the place to start.

Can I take lessons with a friend or family member?

Yes. Private Group Lessons put two or three friends or family members with one teacher on the same instrument, in the same time slots as our private lessons. Every student in the group pays less than they would for a private lesson of the same length, starting at $110/mo each. See group lesson rates →

What if we need to miss a lesson?

Cancel with at least 24 hours notice (or same-day in case of illness or emergency) and you'll receive a Make-Up Pass, valid for 6 months and bookable online.

Do I have to commit to weekly lessons?

No. Weekly plans are month-to-month, and if a plan doesn't fit your schedule you can book drop-in lessons and pay as you go: $45 for 30 minutes, $65 for 45 minutes, $80 for 60 minutes.

Can I take lessons online?

Yes. All of our private lessons are available online via Zoom, and many students mix in-person and online lessons depending on the week.

How do we pick the right teacher?

Our admin team pairs students and teachers based on interests, age, and learning style, and you can browse teacher bios in our booking system. If it's not the right fit, you can switch teachers at any time.
