Audio and Music Production School in Nashville, Tennessee

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 Nashville, Tennessee MUSIC RECORDING SCHOOL ALTERNATIVE

We hit different and here is why: 

Nashville is called “Music City, U.S.A.” for a reason. Long recognized as the country music capital of the world, Nashville is actually one of the world’s biggest hubs for the music industry in general. While country music certainly dominates the musical landscapes, there are hotbeds of rock, punk, hip-hop, gospel, folk, old-time, and even R&B throughout the city as well.

With the NASHVILLE RECORDING CONNECTION, you can learn how to record every genre, work with small local bands, and handle the personalities of even the largest touring acts. Because you’re placed in the middle of the action from day one. Our audio engineering school is designed to give you real-world experience wrapped in a learning environment.

You’ll be placed in a NASHVILLE RECORDING STUDIO and get one-on-one mentoring with a PRO MUSIC PRODUCER. You’ll learn what it takes to operate a studio, how to prepare for sessions, and work with the latest gear. And we mean work, too. This isn’t a hobby for our mentors, it’s their livelihood.

However, we understand you have a life of your own, too. Along with an Academic Facilitator, you’ll have a say in what your schedule is and the curriculum will be based on what you want to know and what you already know. This doesn’t mean you already have to have some experience in audio engineering, but if you already understand the basics of digital audio workstations, your mentor can move on to something more advanced.

After nine months, you will have built a portfolio of work, established a network of contacts, and maybe even a job waiting for you. We can’t guarantee work of course. But successful students have gone on to find work with their mentors, other studios, or even on their own. A lot of it depends on you. Are you ready to amplify your life?

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

While we feel being in the studio is the most beneficial way to learn modern audio engineering and music production, we understand it isn’t always possible. Recording Connection has more than 250 locations throughout the United States, but even if we’re just across town, coming into the studio may not be possible.

Even before the pandemic of 2020, Recording Connection had been offering remote learning to our students. If your computer is powerful enough and you have reliable internet access, you’ll still be able to have that personalized experience with your mentor. For more than 20 years, our remote learning programs have given our students even greater access to quality education.

It also allows you to choose from our roster of mentors. Live in Nashville but are really interested in learning from one of our music producers in Chicago? With remote learning, you can. We have Grammy winners, platinum-record producers, and audio engineers known around the world. Take your pick!

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.

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.
