I have just finished a 3 day advanced scratching course with Jon1st and I'm absolutely buzzing. Jon's way of teaching, taught me more than I ever expected possible in just 3 days. Guys, I wanna thank you personally for taking on board everything I explained in our first phone conversation's and nailing every aspect of what I wanted to achieve. You both knew exactly what I needed to get me over the mental block I had with my scratching style, and having Jon1st as my teacher was a honour and .....well, sick!! His teaching style and ability to simplify and brake down patterns,routines and juggles made it massively simple to understand. Walking away with 3 new scratches and beat juggling under my belt is an unbelievable achievement. Thank you so much.

It was my first time visiting London, and was on the hunt of a good source to learn from specific needs, so there was OTR in which I was hesitant to book with at first, but after going for it and taking a couple of lessons, it was what I expected and more. I learnt a lot from the whole team and just couldn't have enough so I had to go back again and learn more!

Just finished the production course at On The Rise and couldn't be happier! I was very nervous before starting, especially as I have no music background but the guys put me at ease straight away and my tutor Alex was fantastic and went through everything slowly and was happy to repeat sections to make sure I had grasped all the tools. I would recommend coming here to anyone looking to make a start in music production. Keep up the great work guys!
