Helping Disabled Young Adults Live Their Best Lives

EMPOWERING YOUNG DISABLED PEOPLE TO FIND THEIR TALENTS
As you all know, there is more interest in this DJ Academy than spaces. This application lets the foundation and the DJ Academy Tutors know more about the individual wanting to enroll and why this is so important to them.
This form, the taster session and the foundations knowledge of individuals will help us decide who will be enrolled on the full course.
Of course, everyone deserves a space on this initiative but unfortunately that is just not possible. For those who don't get on the full course - there will be taster sessions throughout the year so you are able to learn along the way.

The First Lesson will be on 26th November and Applications close on 15th October

The It’s a London Thing DJ Academy is all about helping young people in the disabled community reach their potential and try new things. Ensuring that everyone, no matter their perceived ability is able to partake in activities they want to, without barriers.

The training program is designed by DJ Shy Cookie who has a wealth of experience in the music industry and with the disabled community.
To make it completely accessible and inclusive, each person will learn on their own time frame and have a personalised lesson plan. When people hit milestones they will receive certification - these will also be tailored to each individual.
All sessions are tailored to those with additional needs and we can cater to all abilities.

“I’m incredibly proud to be giving something back to the community I grew up in. Music has always been more than entertainment — it’s a powerful form of therapy, creativity, and connection. I believe strongly that people of all abilities should have the opportunity to explore and enjoy those benefits.
With this academy, my hope is that we can continue to grow and provide even more opportunities for young adults to discover the joy of music and unlock their potential.”
