Tell us what you want to work on
Whether you are booking a first DJ lesson, asking about rehearsal availability, or planning a recording session, the fastest way to a useful answer is to describe the project.

One message, three ways to use it
Most people arrive with one of three questions: how to start DJ lessons in Toronto, when a rehearsal room is free, or what a sound recording session would need. All three travel through the same inbox, so the details you include decide how fast the reply becomes useful.
Write as if you were briefing the person who will actually run the session. Say what you play or want to play, the room you think you need, and the date you are working toward. If you are unsure about a stage, describe it anyway — that uncertainty is easier to answer than a one-line request for information.
- Music classes and DJ lessons: your level, what you want to learn, and the days that suit you.
- Rehearsal studio rentals: how many hours you need and the window you are aiming for.
- Audio recording and music production: what you are recording, how many tracks or segments, and whether you need an engineer.
What to include in your message
The more specific the message, the more specific the reply. Nothing here is a formality — each detail below changes how the session gets scheduled or set up.
Your experience level
Beginners should mention that they are starting from zero. Experienced DJs should describe what they can already do, so the first session is not spent on fundamentals.
What you want to learn
Beatmatching and blending, scratching, phrasing, set building, or work on your own tracks. Naming a goal helps place you with the right instructor and the right room.
Preferred days and hours
Give two or three windows rather than one. Evening and weekend slots fill first, so a flexible second choice usually shortens the wait for a rehearsal room or a lesson.
The project and its stage
Genre, number of tracks, whether the parts are written, and whether you need mixing or mastering afterward. If you are not sure which stage you are at, say that — we will tell you.
Any deadline you are working to
A release date, a set at a party, a deadline for a course submission. If the calendar can meet it, we will say so; if it cannot, you will hear that early rather than late.
Visiting before booking
If you would rather see the rooms before committing, ask about a visit. It is easier to choose between rehearsal and recording time once you have stood in the space.
Lesson enquiries
Beginners should mention that they are starting from zero — it changes how we schedule the first session and which room makes sense. Experienced DJs should describe what they can already do so we place them at the right level instead of repeating fundamentals.
Tell us what gear you have used and what you want to walk away able to do. If you have a specific event or a set you are preparing for, put the date in the message; lesson time can be shaped around it rather than planned in the abstract.
Studio and recording enquiries
Describe the project: genre, number of tracks, whether parts are written, and whether you need mixing or mastering afterward. If you are not sure which stage you are at, say that. We will tell you.
Sound recording and audio mixing
For a sound recording session, say how many songs or segments you are tracking and whether you need an engineer present. If you are bringing a finished mix for audio mixing, mention the reference tracks you have in mind and the format you need back.
Music production work
If music production is the part you want help with — arrangement, sound design, or getting an idea from a sketch into a session — describe where the track currently sits and what is blocking it.
Response times
We reply to enquiries in the order they arrive. If your message needs a detailed answer about scheduling or room configuration, it may take a little longer. If it is urgent, call rather than wait on the form.
Enquiries that arrive overnight are read the next working morning. Messages sent on Sunday are answered from Monday. Nothing is held back for a batch reply — each one is read on its own and routed to whoever can answer it.
Send an enquiry
Use this form for lessons, rehearsal availability, or a recording project. The studio will follow up by phone or email with the next available options. Fields marked required are the minimum needed to reply.
Studio details
- 1186 Queen Street West, Toronto, ON M6J 1J6, Canada
- +1-416-539-9725
- [email protected]
The studio sits on Queen Street West, west of Ossington. Rehearsal and recording rooms are inside the same building, so a visit covers both.
Finding the door
Streetcar stops run along Queen Street West in both directions. If you are arriving by car, ask about parking when you send your enquiry and we will point you to the nearest option.
Ask about availability
Not ready to book? A short message asking what is open next week is enough. We will send back the room windows and lesson slots that fit the days you named.
Before you send
The questions that come up most often before a first enquiry, answered plainly.
I have never touched DJ equipment. Where do I start?
Can I book a rehearsal room without taking lessons?
What if I only need help at the mixing stage?
Do you answer enquiries on Sunday?
Can I see the rooms before I commit to anything?
Tell us what you want to work on
One message is enough to start. Describe the project, name the days that suit you, and the studio will come back with what is open for DJ lessons, rehearsal time, or a sound recording session in Toronto.
