WHAT DJING GIVES THEM.

MUSIC FROM THE FIRST LESSON

No scales and no years of preparation: from the first lesson — the decks and real tracks.

EAR, RHYTHM AND STRUCTURE

Beatmatching trains the ear and the sense of rhythm, and taking a track apart shows how music actually works.

ONE-ON-ONE WITH A MUSICIAN

Mentors are working DJs and producers. The lesson is just the student and the mentor, at the student’s own pace.

HOME TASKS WITHOUT GEAR

Tasks between lessons that don’t require buying any gear.

THE FIRST FIVE LESSONS

Your teenager gets to know the gear, learns to beatmatch and do simple transitions. Want more — the next pass is at the same price.

FOR TEENS AND PARENTS.

The pass is for teenagers aged 12 to 18: the teen learns, the parents decide.

FOR PARENTS

CHOOSING FOR YOUR CHILD?

Every lesson is one-on-one with a mentor at ŠUM Studio. It starts with a free trial: your teenager meets the mentor and tries the gear. You pay only if you decide to continue — before the first lesson.

BEFORE THE FIRST HOUR

WHAT PEOPLE ASK FIRST.

HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT FROM MUSIC SCHOOL?+

No solfège and no curriculum planned years ahead. From the first lesson your teenager works on the decks with real tracks, and understands rhythm, structure and mixing through practice. It’s a different way into music — through practice, not theory.

IS MUSIC EDUCATION NEEDED?+

No. We start with listening, rhythm and decisions on the decks, and the mentor explains from the student’s level.

HOW IS THE AGE CONFIRMED?+

With an ID that shows the age: the pass price is for school students aged 12 to 18.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE MONTH?+

The pass renews at the same price: the next five lessons are again 19,900 RSD.

HOW IS THE PASS DIFFERENT FROM EXPRESS?+

Same format — five private lessons built around the student’s goal. The price is different: 19,900 RSD instead of 29,000, or instead of 34,000 with a top mentor.

WHAT HAPPENS IN THE FREE TRIAL LESSON?+

Meeting the mentor and the studio, first time on the decks the lessons run on, and a talk about what the five lessons should focus on.

WHICH ROOM ARE THE LESSONS IN?+

In ŠUM Studio’s small sound-isolated room: two Pioneer CDJ-3000s and a DJM-900NXS2, or an all-in-one OPUS-QUAD. The big room — four CDJ-3000s, a DJM-A9 and Technics turntables — isn’t part of the pass, but it can be rented for practice with the 10% student discount.

IS OWN GEAR NEEDED?+

No. The trial and every lesson in the pass run on the academy’s gear.

WHEN IS THE PAYMENT?+

Nothing before the free trial. If you decide to continue, the pass is paid after the trial, before the first lesson.

WHEN WILL YOU REPLY?+

Within the day. Requests sent at night get an answer the next day.
