Audio and Music Production School in Virginia Beach, Virginia

Not like any other school, this is Audio Education Updated, Reimagined, and Revitalized. Are You Ready to Take Your Place?

We took that old stale classroom concept, rebuilt and upgraded it by putting your classroom in a professional recording studio. Then we emptied out all the other students and left only YOU and YOUR TEACHER (yay for one-on-one learning!) who happens to be a pro music producer (with killer credits) to train you privately (at your pace, full time, part time, nights or weekends available).

Your Journey starts here. Amplify your Life and go to the next Level.

Are you our next Success Story?

How it works

Your Virginia Beach, Virginia MUSIC RECORDING SCHOOL ALTERNATIVE

Our audio engineering classes hit different and here is why:

Known as the first region, Virginia Beach is steeped in history. The RECORDING CONNECTION MUSIC OR AUDIO ENGINEERING SCHOOLS IN VIRGINIA BEACH already has a step in the future. Traditional audio production degree programs at four-year universities or trade schools require prerequisites, multiple years of schooling, and may leave you in up to $100,000 in debt when you’re done.

And what do you have to show for it? The Recording Connection has revolutionized the way audio engineering, music production, sound design, recording, editing, mixing, and mastering are taught. Instead of attending a “name” university on the other side of the country, away from family and friends, we put you in the middle of the action right here at home.

We will submit your music to labels or get you a job in a studio or as a creator.

And what do you have to show for it? The Recording Connection has revolutionized the way audio engineering, music production, sound design, recording, editing, mixing, and mastering are taught. Instead of attending a “name” university on the other side of the country, away from family and friends, we put you in the middle of the action right here at home.

Close to home or In your home

The Virginia Beach metro area is the most populous in Virginia. So while it may be easy to find a Virginia Beach studio relatively easily, finding an audio engineering or post-production program to learn from is tricky at best. If you live in Princess Anne, Dam Neck, or Salem, the Recording Connection has you covered. Even if you live in Norfolk, Portsmouth, Newport News, or surrounding areas, The Recording Connection is never too far away.

Why? As one of the first audio engineering schools in the music business to offer remote learning, you can still find yourself inside a professional recording studio even if you’re in your home. If you have a fast enough computer, storage space, and wifi, you can take our programs from a boat in the middle of Hampton Roads if you wanted. What university or trade school offers that kind of flexibility?

If you've been looking for a way to drastically increase your skill and knowledge of audio engineering then RRFC should be at the top of your list. RRFC has transformed who i am as an engineer, and how i approach music as a whole.

Featured Virginia Beach Music Production Mentors on Location or Remote

The Recording Connection offers something no “name” 4-year university or audio engineering and music production trade school can. From day one, you’ll be placed in a professional recording studio and receive one-on-one mentoring from award-winning producers and engineers.

With more than 200 locations throughout 48 states, you won’t have to travel thousands of miles for this immersive experience. You learn what it takes to make it in the music business from the inside alongside industry professionals. This includes recording, mixing and mastering, hardware and software, live sound design, and even business skills.

Work With the Stars or Amplify Your Sound
Even if traditional schools could offer everything THE RECORDING CONNECTION AUDIO ENGINEER SCHOOL does – flexibility, a tenth of the cost, six and nine-month programs – we feel there’s something they just can’t offer.

Opportunity. Even with the latest digital audio workstations (Ableton Live, Logic Pro, or Pro Tools), the best instruction, and name recognition, what touring hip hop stars or pop music powerhouses will visit a school to record their latest hit or polish their publisher’s music?

At Recording Connection, our mentors have worked with the biggest names in the music industry. In many cases, our mentors ARE some of the biggest names in the music industry. You’ll have the opportunities to work with touring pros, learn from industry insiders, and meet the people that can help your career.

This is your life, though. You have a decision to make: Walk away with a piece of paper and a pat on the back from a university, or work with the people already in the business, build your brands, and expand your portfolio in nine months? Many of our graduates find work after finishing or even while they’re still in the program.

Yes, we have over 4000 positive reviews. Our students value the impact our programs have on their future. You learn from the best.

Recording Connection does a GREAT job at placing you into REAL studios with REAL engineers and opens the door to allow you to create those connections with your mentor, and continual learning. You truly get out of the program what you put in. Another great aspect of the program are the virtual advisors that can help you with question regarding Pro Tools and other material as well. Much props to Alex Solis for helping me through the program!

After being a musician for a couple of years, I've decided to take my music skills to the next level. I was very fortunate to have landed in Recording Connection, they helped me out since day one with my registration, and any paperwork needed. I was placed at ES Audio Studios in Glendale, CA. My mentor at the studio, Donny B. is very knowledgeable. He helped me through the process since the beginning. He helped me pick a great laptop suitable for Engineers. I had no clue of the existence of any DAW's, and after a few months of spending time at the studio, asking questions, getting a hands on experience, and doing colabs with other students/engineers I now have the privilege to be a professional. A huge thank you, to all who helped answer my questions and helped me grow as a professional engineer.

I had a very good experience with Recording Connection and my mentor Donny Baker from ES Audio Recording Studios. He taught me the things that I need to know about being an engineer/producer and to always be prepared for the gig and to keep the gig as well. I learned a lot from my mentor, other students that are more experienced, my Academic Facilitator Jon, and other engineers that worked there. I thank everybody that has helped me through this journey and will use the advice that has been given to me to improve as an engineer.
