Want to learn to DJ but wondering about the fees? Not sure how long it takes to become a professional DJ? These are probably the first questions on the mind of anyone who loves DJing and is thinking of becoming a DJ. With that in mind, Muse Inc hopes this article gives you the information you need to choose the right course and a reputable academy.

1. How much is DJ tuition for a professional course?

Today there are countless DJ courses on the market, with fees ranging from 5,000,000 VND to 35,000,000 VND depending on quality, format and level. Because the choice is so wide, be careful before you sign up and pay attention to these two things:

1.1. Is the academy you plan to join reputable?

More and more DJ schools are popping up everywhere without an operating licence, with poor facilities and very basic teaching. So do your research thoroughly and visit the place in person first, so you don't waste your money or end up with teaching that isn't worth the fee you pay.

For quality and reputation, take a look at Muse Academy — Vietnam's leading DJ training academy, part of Muse Inc. Courses at Muse Inc are highly rated thanks to a team of experienced, professional DJ instructors such as DJ Phatbeatz, DJ Napple, DJ Anh Tuấn and DJ Zackie, and a curriculum designed to Pioneer DJ School standards. The facilities and equipment are modern and meet international standards, and you practise in a private practice room. During the course you also get help building your image and defining your own style. What's more, as Vietnam's leading electronic music and DJ company, Muse Inc will support your career after you graduate if you'd like to work together, helping you perform at bars, pubs and events big and small.

1.2. Does the course match your goals and what you want?

Depending on your goals, there are different courses to choose from:

If you know nothing about DJing yet, or you dream of DJing but don't plan to go pro, look for a Basic DJ class. It will help you get started, gain a basic understanding of DJing and figure out which direction to take later.

If you already know DJing well and are determined to become a professional DJ with a long career, choose a Professional or Comprehensive DJ course for deeper knowledge. It's also worth looking for a DJ school with a large community of professional DJs, so that after you graduate you'll have plenty of friends and mentors in the industry who can help you grow and go further.

If you want privacy throughout the course and 1:1 lessons with an instructor, consider the Private DJ courses. In a private course you work directly with the instructor more and get more personal coaching. Since each class has just one student, this course also costs more than all the others.

Location matters too. There are many DJ academies today, but most are in big cities such as Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, which makes them hard to reach for people elsewhere. That's why the Online DJ course is well worth considering.

2. How long does it take to learn to DJ?

As mentioned above, there are many courses from beginner to professional level, so the length varies by course. In general, though, DJ courses today last from 1 to 3 months.

We hope this article has given you more information about fees and course length to help you choose the right course and a reputable academy. Muse Inc wishes you every success in following your passion for music! We hope to see you soon at Muse Inc.
