Audio and Music Production School in Kansas City, Missouri

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 Kansas City MUSIC RECORDING SCHOOL ALTERNATIVE

We hit different and here is why:

A century ago, during Prohibition and the Great Depression, the Kansas City music scene flourished. Of course, it helped that those in power turned a blind eye to the dry laws that were in place nationwide, allowing nightclubs and music halls to not only stay open but to thrive.

Those jazz and blues influences can still be heard along the streets of Kansas City, although the city has certainly opened up to other genres. Rock n’ roll, hip hop, rap, and more, all have a home in Kansas City. Many acts come to Kansas City to play in both the largest of venues as well as the more intimate settings.

Its proximity to the University of Kansas ensures up-and-coming bands will always be well-represented in the recording studios around the city. And although the four-year university boasts a wide array of music courses, we just don’t feel they can offer to hopeful audio engineers and music producers what the KANSAS CITY RECORDING CONNECTION can.

Instead of a classroom, we place you inside a real-world recording studio. Instead of forcing you into prerequisites and undergraduate work, we fashion our programs around what you already know – and what you want to know going forward. Your mentors are PRO MUSIC PRODUCERS working every day with the bands you’re probably listening to today.

We understand there are a number of KANSAS CITY AUDIO ENGINEERING AND MUSIC PRODUCTION SCHOOLS to choose from. But how many offer you the number of hands-on learning experiences that Recording Connection does? From day one, you’re working with an industry insider in their studio.

And not just for a couple of hours a week. You will be expected to put in the work four or five times a week, spending several hours learning the ins and outs of the industry. One day you could be setting up the studio for a client, another day you may be working with those clients. 

The music industry isn’t known to take a few days off, either. Even when you’re not in the studio, there will still be an eBook to read, exams to study for, and relevant homework to get done. Remember, this isn’t a hobby or some classroom – this is the real world! And, with us, you get to learn it from the inside.

CLOSE TO HOME OR IN YOUR HOME

10 Miles, 10 Blocks, or 10 Seconds away from your future

Being able to sit in a recording studio with your mentor, getting hands-on experience, and working face-to-face with clients just can’t be replicated in a classroom. But what if you’re hundreds of miles away from a professional facility? We have you covered. 

As the worldwide pandemic took over in early 2020, many educational facilities weren’t sure how to handle social distancing, self-quarantines, and other steps needed to keep students and their staff safe. Many still don’t. But Recording Connection has been working on remote-learning infrastructure for more than two decades.

This allows you to enroll in the Recording Connection audio engineering and music production program no matter where you are. All you need is a strong/fast computer, reliable internet, and the desire, drive, and determination to make your love of music into a career. Want to learn from someone in L.A., Chicago, or New York? You can do that from Kansas City.

Why uproot your life if you don’t have to?

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.
