The True Cost of Recording Schools Compared

At the Recording Connection, we believe you should not have to mortgage your future to go to Audio Engineering or Music Producing School. That’s why we offer one of the lowest costs to graduate in the music industry. We also don’t believe in hidden fees and costs like some of our competitors. 7,750 plus 650 for everything: your private one on one learning with your mentor as an apprentice, session work and additional lesson opportunities, all your books and materials, all software including Pro Tools, your very own website, SEO self marketing classes, student services counseling and additional mentoring (if needed), and one year's worth of real job placement assistance. That's 8,400 total for everything. 75% LESS than those overpriced diploma mill audio or film schools.

Did you know that some schools charge more for lab fees and supplies alone than what we charge you for your entire education at the Recording Connection? Maybe that’s why it’s so hard to find the tuition costs on some of our competitors' websites. We invite you to compare the true costs of graduating from other audio engineering and music producing schools versus ours.
