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

CLOSE TO HOME OR IN YOUR HOME

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

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.

That’s where we really separate ourselves from four-year universities and other institutes of higher learning. The amount of time it takes to complete our audio engineering and music production program is six to nine months. The cost? A mere fraction of what those university and trade schools are asking for in tuition.

Let’s face it – in the music industry, who you know matters almost as much as what you know. That’s why we feel working with an OAKLAND MUSIC PRODUCER in real-life situations is so much more beneficial than the piece of paper you get after four years at a college.

The success of M.C. Hammer, En Vogue, Too Short, and Digital Underground proved 30 years ago that you don’t need to be in the hip hop epicenters of L. A. or New York to make it big. It proves you don’t need to move a hundred miles, or thousands of miles, to learn how to make music. 

In fact, The OAKLAND RECORDING CONNECTION makes it so you don’t need to move at all. Even before Covid-19 shut down many institutes of education, we had been offering remote learning for decades.

In addition to one-on-one learning with an industry professional inside a real-world recording studio, we also allow our students – and mentors – to remain safe during the pandemic via virtual learning. You’ll still work on the digital audio workstations the pros do, you’ll still get that personal time, and you’ll still learn how to be a professional.

You’ll just be able to do it from an Oakland home, condo, or apartment. Don’t have a car? Learn remotely. No access to public transportation? Learn remotely. Family commitments keeping you close to home? Learn remotely. And when the opportunity comes for you to be in the studio with your mentor? We’ll save you a seat.

Recording Connection makes sure that anyone who wants an audio engineering or music production education will have access to it – no matter where they live. What other OAKLAND AUDIO ENGINEERING SCHOOLS offer that?
