About Esther
Hi, I’m Esther aka AJNA, a professional DJ who represents a major international psytrance label, with real-world experience playing festivals, doofs, and club events across Australia. I’m passionate about helping absolute beginners learn how to DJ in a way that feels clear, empowering, and fun; without overwhelm or gatekeeping. My lessons are designed for people who have always wanted to learn to DJ but didn’t know where to start. I focus on practical skills you can actually use, not just theory.
What I can help you with:
• DJ fundamentals & equipment basics
• Beat matching (by ear and with visual tools)
• Mixing & smooth transitions
• Track selection, phrasing & set flow
• Building confidence and developing your own style
• Branding and landing your first gig.
I teach using industry-standard Pioneer DJ equipment, and I tailor every lesson to your goals, musical taste, and learning pace. Whether you want to mix for fun at home, record your first mix, or eventually play parties and events, I’ll help you build strong foundations.
My teaching style is supportive, patient, and beginner-friendly. I believe DJing is a skill anyone can learn with the right guidance, and I aim to create a relaxed, encouraging space where you can ask questions and make mistakes without pressure. I have taught everyone from teens to seniors, and I absolutely love teaching.
Lesson options:
• One-on-one private lessons in person in St Kilda
• Flexible scheduling
• No prior experience required.
If you’re curious about DJing and ready to get started, I’d love to help you take the first step

Perfect! Esther is an incredible teacher who is both highly knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about music. She is easy to get along with, explains concepts clearly, and follows up lessons with written notes and recaps, which makes learning much easier.
She was always available to answer questions, responded quickly, and even sent photos to help me place cue points correctly when practising on my own. That extra support made a difference to my confidence and progress.
One of the things I appreciated most is that Esther simply does not allow negative self-talk. I am 55, and being reminded of this by someone much younger is amazing! Her encouragement, patience, and positivity have helped me push through any self-doubt.
Learning to DJ can feel overwhelming at first, but Esther breaks everything down into manageable steps. I already understand so much more about how music is structured and mixed together. If you're considering learning to DJ, I highly recommend Esther.Perfect! I’m a beginner and Esther made it so simple to understand the basics of DJing. She has a structure to teach and provides helpful notes for revision, which really helps.
Highly recommend her for beginners or someone who is looking to brush their skills.Perfect! I had such an amazing experience with Esther. From the very first contact, she was super available and flexible with scheduling the class, which made everything so easy and comfortable from the start.
When I arrived, her home felt so warm and cozy, and she already had everything prepared and ready to start teaching. She was punctual, professional, and explained everything from absolute zero with so much patience and confidence. She took the time to explain every part of the controller step by step, including beat matching, in a way that was really easy to understand.
What honestly surprised me the most was how prepared and structured the lesson was. I expected something much more informal, like someone simply showing me how to DJ casually, but she was genuinely ready to teach me properly, step by step, with real concepts and guidance. She gave me space to ask questions, time to take notes, and also plenty of time to practice during the lesson. Every time I managed to do something right, she encouraged me and made me feel confident, which was incredibly motivating.
On top of that, after the class she even sent me an email with a PDF recap of everything we covered — something I absolutely did not expect and appreciated so much.
Honestly, the whole experience exceeded my expectations completely. I left feeling super inspired and excited for the next class already. I highly recommend her to anyone wanting to learn DJing in a supportive, professional, and motivating environment.See more reviews

I came to Esther for DJ lessons with absolutely no experience at all. From the very first class, her lessons were incredibly fun, and I always left feeling great afterwards.
Esther is genuinely enthusiastic about music, and throughout the lessons I could feel my confidence growing. She really made me believe that becoming a DJ, and even getting a gig, is absolutely possible.
Her classes are very well thought out, with a great balance between theory and practical skills, so everything really comes together by the end.

Esther is such a great DJ instructor!! Her place is super cozy and welcoming, and she is so so nice. I would 100% recommend seeing her for lessons no matter what level you’re at!!
My wonderful partner bought me some lessons with Esther for a birthday present and she could not have chosen a better person. Esther took the time to understand my relationship with music and then patiently guided me through the critical first steps. She was incredibly encouraging and gave me the confidence I needed to continue on this journey. I feel so inspired to hone my skills and maybe even book my first party soon!
