The EQ Lab

Everything on offer

Music is one door in. There are many.

You do not have to know what you want to be. Most people who end up with a career in this industry did not start out knowing the job existed.

Talk it through →

01

DJ & production.

The foundation. Club standard equipment from the first session, so there is nothing to unlearn when you get in front of a real booth.

  • DJing on Pioneer CDJ-3000s and a DJM-V10
  • Music production from an empty project to a finished track
  • Electronic music, across genres rather than just one
  • Performance and reading a room
  • Music technology and the software the industry actually uses
  • How the business works: releases, labels, publishing, royalties

£960 for a twelve week course at two hours a week. Shorter courses available to suit, and one off DJ tuition is £80 for a two hour lesson.

02

Singing & songwriting.

There is more to a music career than the person behind the decks.

  • Songwriting classes
  • Singing lessons and vocal development
  • Artist development and finding your own sound
  • Managing a career, not just making the music

From £80 a session. £40 an hour, two hour minimum. The song writing course is £960 for twelve weeks.

Students can get insight from experienced and award winning performers including Sweet Female Attitude, and musicians such as Ellie Sax, on developing talent and understanding the professional side of the industry.

03

TikTok, social & content.

Making something good is half of it. Getting anyone to see it is the other half, and almost nobody teaches that part.

  • TikTok
  • Instagram
  • YouTube
  • Facebook
  • X
  • Snapchat
  • Threads
  • Twitch
  • Spotify
  • SoundCloud

One of our social media and content advisors has built an audience of 1.8 million on TikTok. That is not theory about the algorithm. That is someone who has actually done it, sat next to you.

  • TikTok and short form content
  • Growing an audience from nothing
  • What actually makes something travel
  • Content strategy and consistency
  • Personal branding and artist promotion
  • Turning creative skills into income

We also have a professional content team: videographers, photographers and content creators, so emerging artists can leave with material that looks the part.

From £80 a session. £40 an hour, two hour minimum. Content team work is priced on request.

Events & industry roles.

05

The Chill Zone.

Somewhere to sit down, meet other young people, play PS5 and talk to a tutor with no pressure to produce anything. For a lot of young people this is the way in, and pushing them past it would lose them entirely.
