I took 1:1 lessons with Simon for 12-weeks. When I started I had never picked up a deck or used DJ software before, I knew nothing about beat matching or music selection either. I was a 100% newbie and simply wanted to carve out time in my life to learn a new skill. I’ve always loved electronic music and love to dance. Simon taught me all of the fundamentals of DJ’ing, helped me choose equipment to practice on at home, including speakers, and even shared some great DJ books & films with me that really dive into the culture & craft. It was the 360 degree immersive experience I was looking for to really get into it and properly learn. Simon always met me where I was at in terms of interests and energy levels. We explored a multitude of genres and he dissected each one so I could really hear the best way to mix the tracks. His passion and experience really comes through in his teaching style and he doesn’t cut any corners. I learned so much and can confidently put together and mix my own set. Most of all, Simon is a genuinely good person and and awesome DJ. I’d 200% recommend his classes. I left with a big smile on my face after every single one.

Was in Barcelona for a month. I’ve always wanted real DJ lessons. That’s exactly what I got. Next time I’m in Barcelona I will definitely book more lessons. Thanks Simon!

Simon is a wonderfully friendly, trustworthy and positive teacher, you feel like you’ve known him for years! He really puts your nerves at ease with his calming and cheerful presence and you can really see and feel his passion for DJing – which brings so much motivation and excitement during every lesson. I look forward to learning more every week, in what feels like a little sanctuary – thank you for opening the door for me to start something I’ve been meaning to for years. I can’t wait to see where it will take me in the future!

I had my first DJ lessons with Simon and it couldn’t have been any better. For a beginner it was pretty much what I wanted and more. Simon is a professional and really patient while teaching the skills of DJing and really liked the approach he took . I would recommend him to anyone beginner or professional who wants to learn the techniques of DJing.

Wonderful teacher and very kind !! In addition to his good musical taste ✨

My son is 11 years old and loves his private lessons with Simon. Simon treats him with respect and lets his curiosity and creativity develop. He has taught my son valuable basics and lets him bring his own songs to build his library. Simon is GREAT with kids. I highly recommend!

Great place to learn the basics of beat matching and DJ-ing. Simon is great and explains the concepts in a clear and intuitive way! I was on my way to mixing in almost no time. Recommended to everyone looking to get into DJ-ing (professional or amateur).

I completed the beginners course with Simon. What an amazing teacher he is, patient and so knowledgable. He also had verygood taste in music which made the whole thing more enjoyable. The best part about the course was being able to really understand what I am trying to achieve in terms of being able to keep the tempo and beat match. I would Defo recommend and also will do the intermediate course at a later date. Big thumbs up!

Well, Simon, you’re not only a good DJ but a very good teacher too. I like how comfortable you make me and my fellow classmates feel and that makes me love to learn from you.
Your art or technique of teaching, I believe, is the most detailed and reliable any DJ talent would need.
Thank you Simon. Thank you ontempo.

It is an amazing course where you learn everything you need to understand DJing and learn the basic skills. Simon is very patient and gives every student personal attention and really adapts to the style and skill level of every student. The groups are also very small, so you learn a lot! I can highly recommend this course, it is very fun and makes you even more enthusiastic about music and DJing.

Great experience. Quality teaching and custom assistance. All latest tech used and super to hear from someone out doing it. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to start down the path!

Had a great experience working with Simon! Probably the most passionate person you will ever meet. Great guy and also his methods of teaching are brilliant. Good communicator, always gives detailed and specific explainations, nothing but good things to say! For anyone looking to start off I would recommend a minimum of 10, 90 minute classes to start of with and then carry on from there.

Learning beginners DJing techniques at ONTEMPO academy was a thrill! I started from absolute scratch and, while having lots of fun, I became comfortable with mixing tracks and understood the basics of the DJ universe (sound quality and harmonization, track analysis, electronic and analog tools and so on…). I’m grateful for the kindness on top the professionalism, thank you Simon!

Simon is an amazing and skilled DJ that really knows how to bring people together and one of the most patient and talented teachers. 5 star service! Wholeheartedly recommended.

Awesome DJ and awesome teacher! Classes are really fun too! Simon definitely knows what he’s doing!!!

Simon has been djing for many years and is very atuned to the crowd he’s djing for, so people can have an unforgettable time. He is very knowledgeable of house music across the spectrum and keeps up to date with new music and trends. He blends new and old tunes that everyone loves, which I love about his sets, as it takes me back to our olden days of clubbing in London and Ibiza…
A part from his musical skills, he’s a gentle, friendly and warm person with a big heart and a welcome smile. He played at my wedding in 2017 and everyone commented on how fun the music was…

Simon IS the DJ, really talented and passionate!
