LOCAL SCHOOLS - REACH OUT - DJ ACADEMY WANTS TO WORK WITH YOU!

OTD Studios & Academy, a leading provider of modern music education, is proud to announce the expansion of its innovative peripatetic (in-school) DJ and music production lessons across schools in Milton Keynes.

Building on its growing reputation across Buckinghamshire and surrounding areas, OTD Studios & Academy is transforming how young people engage with music by bringing industry-relevant skills - such as DJing, music production, and creative expression - directly into schools.

OTD Studios & Academy specialises in delivering contemporary music education that resonates with today’s students. Through one-to-one and small group lessons, students gain hands-on experience using professional DJ equipment and production software, developing both technical skills and creative confidence.

The programme is designed to:

• Increase student engagement, particularly among those less motivated by traditional subjects

• Support wellbeing and self-expression through music

• Provide alternative pathways into creative industries

• Complement existing music curriculums with modern, relevant content

Already working successfully with multiple schools, OTD Studios & Academy has seen strong uptake and positive feedback from both students and staff. Schools report improved attendance, increased enthusiasm for music, and greater confidence among participating students.

Will Hardisty, Founder of OTD Studios & Academy, said:

“Our mission is to make modern music education accessible, engaging, and aspirational. Not every student connects with traditional instruments, but almost every student connects with music. By bringing DJing and production into schools, we’re opening doors for young people to discover new passions and future pathways.”

Following increasing demand, OTD Studios & Academy is now actively partnering with more schools across Milton Keynes to deliver its in-school lesson programme.

The OTD Studios & Academy is inviting primary and secondary schools across Milton Keynes to get involved and bring this exciting opportunity to their students.
