Play Virtuoso- Electronic Music School

Posted by Team APATA | Jun 12, 2023

Austen and Scott Smart first brought DJing to schools across the UK with their 2015 initiative FutureDJs. A curriculum accredited program providing decks and DJ lessons to students with the help of industry market leaders Soundtrap and Pioneer DJ.

Eight years later and Future DJs has evolved into Virtuoso – An online electronic music education platform open to the world.

“It’s a state-of-the-art immersive learning experience with the feel of a real-world classroom. Giving aspiring music makers direct access to speak with experts on topics including labels, legals and PR.”

The Smart brothers began as DJs themselves self producing and releasing their own music, licensing music to Sony and working with Groove Armada.

PlayVirtuoso.com has over 300 hours of classes available with new classes added monthly. Register for courses individually or pay £79.99/year (approx$150-200AUD/year) for unlimited access.

From beginners to virtuosos, navigate platforms such as Ableton Live, Logic Pro, DDJ-200 and even traditional vinyl record mixing.

Create your own sample library, make beats for vocalists, learn production techniques and dive deep into house, bass, techno, drill, rap, D&B, jungle and learn from industry professionals changing the game.
