Audio and Music Production School in Birmingham, Alabama

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).

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.

You don’t have to go into extreme debt to go to Music Production and Audio Engineering School

We can train you in a real recording studio for far less. Play it smart–get on the inside track, and get connected as you get educated. Our audio recording school is a highly effective and affordable way to start your audio engineering career.

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.

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.

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.
