Admissions at DJAM take place from June through November. Anyone can register without obligation. You can sign up online and view the available exam dates using the admission registration form.
Please note: Since the number of study places is limited, we recommend arranging your admission as early as possible. This also allows us to better accommodate your preferences for study days and times.
Admission Requirements
To be admitted, we look for clear musical talent. Specific skills or extensive theoretical knowledge are not required; thanks to DJAM’s five-level system, we can place you at the level that best suits your current musical development.
In addition, we consider the right mindset and motivation essential. Group lessons require a certain level of flexibility and a cooperative attitude.
Admission Procedure
The admission exam consists of a theoretical and a practical part, both scheduled on the same day at different times.
Theoretical Part
- Group session
- Duration: 45 minutes
- A written music theory test, ranging from basic to advanced level
- You only answer the questions that match your level of knowledge
Practical Part
- Individual session
- Duration: approx. 45 minutes
- Prepare two or three of your favorite jazz standards. If you don’t have experience with jazz, bring music in the style you play or want to learn
- DJAM teachers will accompany you during this part
- We will assess your improvisation skills, musical ear, and sense of rhythm—adapted to your level
No stress!
There’s no need to be nervous. The goal is not to perform perfectly but to determine your appropriate level. The results are usually shared with you right after the exam.
After Admission
If you are admitted, you will receive a registration form. This serves as an official contract valid for one academic year.
