DJAM offers three different lesson packages, each with its own focus. In addition, students can opt to take individual main subject lessons. Below is an overview of what each package includes.
Package 1 – Complete Study Program (excluding main subject lessons)
This is the most comprehensive option, covering all DJAM courses except for the main subject lessons. It combines theory, practice, and ensemble playing. In most cases, this package is recommended.
• Courses: combo, theory, rhythm training, ear training, improvisation, and APM (Applied Practical Modules)
• Class time per week: 4 to 5 hours
• Homework: approximately 10 to 15 hours per week
ℹ️ Homework time is an estimate. Actual workload depends on your package, personal learning pace, and how efficiently you study.
Package 2 – Theory and Skills Focus (no combo lesons)
This package is useful for people who want to deepen their musical knowledge without focussing heavily on practical ensemble work.
• Courses: theory, rhythm training, ear training, improvisation, and APM (Applied Practical Modules)
• Class time per week: 1,5 to 2,5 hours
• Homework: approximately 5 to 10 hours per week
Package 3 – Combo Only
This package focuses solely on ensemble playing. It is suited for students with sufficient theoretical and aural skills who wish to primarily develop their playing in a group context.
• Course: combo
• Class time per week: 1.5 to 3 hours (depending on your level)
• Homework: approximately 5 to 10 hours per week
ℹ️ Priority for combo placement is given to students enrolled in Package 1, due to the limited number of spots available.
Main Subject – Individual Lessons
The main subject lesson is a one-on-one class focused on your instrument or voice. While optional, it is strongly recommended to take this lesson through DJAM, as the content is closely integrated with the rest of the program.
• Course: main subject
• Class time per week: 45 minutes
• Homework: hard to estimate—often overlaps with combo material, reinforcing your preparation
Benefits:
• Supports your development within the DJAM program
• Helps with preparing combo repertoire
• Strengthens your technical and expressive abilities
Main subject lesson fees are not included in the tuition for the course packages.
ℹ️ DJAM reserves the right to give priority in placement to students who take their main subject lessons through DJAM.
