Scratch DJ Academy

The best place for learning how to DJ

For 25 years, Scratch DJ Academy has been the leader in DJ education. Both approachable and serious about learning the right way, there is no better place to get started as a beginner DJ. Scratch was co-founded in 2002 by the great Jam Master Jay of Run DMC. There simply wasn't a place to learn the art form of DJ'ing and Scratch has since taught hundreds of thousands of DJs worldwide.
