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.

How it works
Your Birmingham, Alabama MUSIC RECORDING SCHOOL ALTERNATIVE
We hit different and here is why:
With the famed Muscle Shoals about 90 minutes away, Birmingham enjoys a long history of rock, jazz, gospel, and country music. As Southern rap began to make itself known in the music industry, Birmingham has continued to act as one of the epicenters of music coming out of the south.
With established local acts, emerging regional musicians, and a frequent stop for those nationally touring groups, there are plenty of BIRMINGHAM RECORDING STUDIOS available in town to help tighten sets or produce new music. And if you’re interested in an audio engineering or music production career, what better way to learn than in a professional studio with a PRO MUSIC PRODUCER?
You could move thousands of miles away to attend a “name” university or even attend 4-year school closer to home. But we feel working in a recording studio beats sitting in a classroom. Creating your own schedule beats a rigid timetable, and learning what you want beats having to take prerequisites.
And the Recording Connection does it for less money and in less time than most of those other institutions. Working with Academic Facilitators and mentors to create programs made specifically for you, you’ll be gaining hands-on experience in the first week! The music industry is a 24-7-365 operation – any time is the right time to be producing music.
Along with hands-on learning in a one-on-one situation with a professional audio engineer or music producer, you’ll still be expected to read up on music theory, work on your craft outside of the studio, and show your proficiency throughout the program. But while students in a classroom will be receiving a GPA, you’ll be building your portfolio.
Working with the latest gear, learning what the music business wants today, and doing it alongside industry insiders, is what we enable you to experience. This is the time to be learning as much as you can about making music your career. Ask questions, observe how your mentor works with clients, apply what you’ve learned when it’s time for your own sessions.
What better time to Amplify Your Life than right now?
We will submit your music to labels or get you a job in a studio or as a creator.

CLOSE TO HOME OR IN YOUR HOME
10 Miles, 10 Blocks, or 10 Seconds away from your future
The BIRMINGHAM RECORDING CONNECTION has multiple studios/mentors you can learn from, so you’re never too far away. This means you won’t have to move thousands, or even hundreds of miles away to get the foundation you need to start pursuing a career in the music-making industry.
But as the events of 2020 showed us, sometimes traveling just a few miles isn’t even an option. As many other educational institutions struggled to figure out a plan for their students, we’ve spent decades perfecting remote learning. Our virtual learning programs allow you to stay home, stay safe, and still get the education you need to build your foundation.
Even when the pandemic is finally held under wraps, remote learning will continue at Recording Connection. Want to learn from a music producer in New York or an audio engineer in Chicago? Recording Connection makes it possible for you to do just that without having to uproot your life. And you’ll still have as much access to your mentor as you would if you were sitting next to them in the studio.

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.
Jorge Fuentes Quiroz – Los Angeles, California
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.
