Point Blank’s Mumbai school is well and truly established now as one of the best equipped and professional schools of its kind in India. Their expanded programme, developed in association with The True School of Music (TSM) now ranges from one-day tasters, like Explore DJ, the next of which is on 30 July, to three-month comprehensive programmes, like the returning Complete DJ & Entrepreneur, which begins again on 10 July.  Junior-specific classes are locked in for July, October and January while there are more Kids dates to be revealed.  Enrol on any of the longer classes and you’ll also get a free copy of Pioneer’s Rekordbox DJ performance software, plus Native Instruments Komplete 11 with Complete DJ & Entrepreneur, totalling ₹66,000! At the end of the two weeks, the students put on a live performance at SummerHouse Mumbai, showing off their new skills in the fully-kitted club. The DJ studio at TSM has since been upgraded with the latest Pioneer DJ gear. Students and Instructors from the inaugural DJ/Entrepreneur Course in Mumbai For their first term in 2018, Point Blank included two additional programmes in the thriving centre of dance music in India: Mumbai. In May, they expanded further to cater for young people and children. For those interested in testing the water to see if DJing could be their thing, they offer a single session with the Explore DJ course or the more intensive Pro DJ Workshop, for those who really want to get the most from one day of instruction. For young people wanting to go further and really get their heads into the skills and nuances of DJing, they offer a DJ Pro course for both kids and slightly older juniors where, over 18 weeks, students will get a fully-rounded education in the different styles and techniques available to DJs, so you can figure out exactly what kind of performer you want to be. With further weekend and evening classes available for adults too, there’s a programme to suit anyone. Why get stuck in the rush hour traffic when you stay in town after work and learn how to DJ! The upcoming term sees the launch of the first revamped Complete DJ/Entrepreneur course. Much like Complete DJ, this is the course for you if you are really serious about learning all the skills you need to become an artist in your own right. Over three months, you will be given detailed tuition in beatmatching, mixing with CD, Vinyl and MP3, scratching and more, finishing by playing in a top Mumbai club! You will also learn everything you need to know about the music industry and how to build your brand, so you can begin your career in earnest. Students have access to practise time outside of class using a range of incredible equipment including Pioneer DJ’s CDJ2000 Nexus, DJM2000 Nexus, EFX 1000, RMX 1000, and DDJ-SX DJ Controller.  Enrolment is open right now, so don’t delay!
