LEARN FROM A PROFESSIONAL IN HIS OR HER STUDIO

For nearly 30 years now, we have been placing students like you inside a real recording studio, not as an intern, but as an APPRENTICE learning one on one from a music producer or audio engineer. If you are accepted into our program you will go to audio school inside a well-known recording studio, where you will learn from our structured course curriculum in audio.

Best of all, you will learn privately and at your own pace.

IF ACCEPTED, HOW OFTEN WILL I GO TO THE RECORDING STUDIO?

All of our students start off going twice per week, just like regular school. Then, after four weeks, if you work hard, study hard, and show up on time, you will be allowed into the recording studio more often. Some of our students go as often as seven to 11 times a week. It is really up to you and how bad you want it.

WHAT WILL I LEARN? HOW WILL I LEARN AUDIO?

For a complete outline of our curriculum please click here. You will learn at a pace of one comprehensive lesson module per week for 6 months. You will have homework, which you will do to the best of your ability. Once complete you will go into the recording studio and your mentor will then privately tutor you using our curriculum and his equipment in the studio to teach you. So not only do you learn from our curriculum but you also learn from your mentor's 10-30 years' worth of experience.

There is not another audio school on the planet that can promise the following:

• Learn in a real recording studio
• Learn from a structured course curriculum
• Learn privately with no other students
• Sit in on real recording sessions
• Learn from a Music Producer or Audio Engineer who has been making music professionally for anywhere between 10-30 years.

WAIT A MINUTE, IS THIS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE?

Chances are you have been told that audio trade schools are the way to go. But like most things these days, you have been misled and badly misinformed. 

But don't take our word for it. CLICK HERE to read what famous music producers say about us.

Ask yourself, am I going to the school recommended by the people who record for U2, Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, OffSpring, Eminem, Ludarcis, Beyonce, Guns N Roses, Jane's Addiction, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Tupac, Pink, Outkast, Method Man, Wyclef Jean, Stevie Wonder, Timbaland, Black Eyed Peas, Norah Jones, Motley Crue, Diddy, Santana, Lil Wayne, Madonna, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Snoop Dogg, Robert Plant, Travis Tritt, B.B. King, Led Zeppelin, Lenny Kravitz, Paul McCartney, etc?

Am I going to an overpriced recording school not recommended by the pros?

Remember, with The Recording Connection Audio Institute, you will be going to go to the school recommended by the professionals.

DON'T REGULAR SCHOOLS GET YOU INTO A RECORDING STUDIO TOO?

Let's be clear: Many schools do have 'recording studios' on campus, and while these on-campus studios may look pretty, they are not professional recording studios, and so professionals like U2, Dr. Dre, Eminem, and Beyonce (to name a few) do not go there to record. These 'fake' studios are created for the benefit of their students, and that is it. They are classrooms posing as studios. Don't be fooled! The only way you will ever learn the ins and outs of audio engineering and music producing is if you're smart enough to get an apprenticeship in a real recording studio. Sounds a lot like The RECORDING CONNECTION AUDIO INSTITUTE, doesn't it?

Additionally, many schools promise you that they will get you into a recording studio post-graduation, and that may be true. But please read this carefully: If you are lucky enough to get into one of these recording studios post-graduation it will be as an INTERN, not as an APPRENTICE.

With the RECORDING CONNECTION AUDIO INSTITUTE we place you in a real recording studio, from day one, as an apprentice, which is a notch above an intern. Apprentices are learning a structured course curriculum, privately, under the direct supervision of a professional. This allows the apprentice (you) to learn the trade while you make connections. You've heard the old saying "it's all about connections, right?" Well then ask yourself, isn't forming a relationship with a Music Producer or Audio Engineer by being his student apprentice the best way to get connected? 

So if you want to apprentice with a Music Producer or Audio Engineer who can help you make it in the music business, APPLY (for free) HERE.
