Training as a professional DJ is the first step towards making a living as a DJ. It can be done through two-school courses, in which the theory necessary to perform the DJ profession in a complete way is taught. You have to master the booth equipment and its configuration, the beats, and the structures and scales that allow you to synchronise the music as well as possible. All these possibilities, and many more, are offered by the professional DJ course at the Microfusa School.
