Professional Audio and Music Production Programs
Work with the Stars and Amplify
We give you almost everything you need to give yourself a foundation in audio engineering and music production. A schedule built around your life, accelerated programs designed to amplify your strengths and improve your weaknesses, and a fully immersive studio experience.
But the most valuable thing we offer at Recording Connection is Opportunity. The opportunity to get real-world experience, the opportunity to help run a professional studio, the opportunity to learn how a studio operates from the inside. And the opportunity to impress future employers, clients, and collaborators on a weekly basis.
The difference between making music as a living or as a hobby can be razor thin at times. The deciding factor could very well be how you treat each of these opportunities. Happy to sit back and absorb as much as you can or a little moody because you’re not doing more? Listening to the clients during a session or just doing what you think is best?
Even something as simple as offering to get water when a singer looks thirsty can color the way your mentor, clients, and other potential connections see you. Just like constantly texting your friends or posting to Instagram will. Everyone that walks through the doors is a potential job - and your session with them is a potential interview.
How will you be remembered? Recording Connection graduates have gone on to work at the studios they learned in, found work at other studios, and even opened their own studios! Do you think they achieved so much because they were constantly late, interrupting their mentors, or ignoring clients?
