After ten years of success in London we are now planning to make a leap across the Atlantic and offer DJ and music production courses in New YorkCity. Part of our mission is to create a worldwide community of music industry professionals and a network that our alumni can benefit from on a global scale. America is one of the biggest countries on the musical map and of course massive for electronic music, it's naturally the next step for us to make. Opening in New York will allow us to offer unparalleled tuition quality with one-to-one DJ lessons and music production lessons and flexible learning. We want to help students obtain the highest skill standards and success rates.
Upon opening New YorkSoundAcademy (NYSA) students will be able to enrol on the full range of DJ courses currently on offer at LondonSound Academy (LSA).

We offer DJ classes on Traktor, Serato, Ableton and other programs and clients are welcome to bring their own DJ equipment into the studio.
