THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
"THEIR" TEACHERS AND OUR MENTORS
Many AUDIO SCHOOLS claim that if you sign up with their school that your teacher will be a working professional. But are these teachers really "working" or are they "working as teachers"? Nothing against teachers, teachers are wonderful and
should be commended for their willingness to educate, but the claim begs the question: If these teachers working at the big schools are in fact employed music producers and audio engineers how do they have time to teach you in a classroom? If they were working pros wouldn't they be in their own studios, getting paid to record music for a living instead of in a college classroom teaching a class of 50 students? Of course, the best way to proceed when choosing an audio school is to do your own research and get the facts.
With Recording Connection your classroom is in a real studio and your mentor is ALWAYS a working professional who has agreed to take you on and train you in his own professional studio. The projects that you will be working on are a
combination of your course curriculum and the real life
projects that come into the studio. Some of our students in the past
were more than a little shocked when Mick Jagger walked in the door, or
when Kurt Cobain showed up to record. But look, the bottom line
is this, NO you probably won't get the shot to work with The Rolling
Stones during your Recording Connection training, but think about all
the exciting real world projects you might be invited to work on when
going to school at The Recording Connection Audio School. Imagine
working on in studio projects for local bands, national acts,
commercials, voice over sessions and more?
Do you really think that this kind of real world education
could be duplicated in a classroom? Imagine all the real world contacts
you will meet. Do you really think that regular college is going
to be able to expose you to real world contacts? And even if you do
meet a pro or two at the school's "career day" seminar or lecture, do
you really think that he is going to ever hire you? Especially, when
there are ten, twenty, thirty or more other kids in your class? Recording Connection Audio School is the school that trains you the smart way. In
a real studio, under a real life working professional, in
his studio. But don't take our word for it, do your own research. We're
so confident that our program is the best program, we invite you to
leave the site and take a look at other schools. And if you do leave
the site, we're sure we will see you again real soon. Hint,
bookmark
us before you leave, because after you do your due diligence, you're
going to want to be able to find us again.Ready to meet some real life Recording Connection Students that have gone through or are going through our school? Click here.
