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.

And what do you have to show for it? The Recording Connection has revolutionized the way audio engineering, music production, sound design, recording, editing, mixing, and mastering are taught. Instead of attending a “name” university on the other side of the country, away from family and friends, we put you in the middle of the action right here at home.

Close to home or In your home

The Virginia Beach metro area is the most populous in Virginia. So while it may be easy to find a Virginia Beach studio relatively easily, finding an audio engineering or post-production program to learn from is tricky at best. If you live in Princess Anne, Dam Neck, or Salem, the Recording Connection has you covered. Even if you live in Norfolk, Portsmouth, Newport News, or surrounding areas, The Recording Connection is never too far away.

Why? As one of the first audio engineering schools in the music business to offer remote learning, you can still find yourself inside a professional recording studio even if you’re in your home. If you have a fast enough computer, storage space, and wifi, you can take our programs from a boat in the middle of Hampton Roads if you wanted. What university or trade school offers that kind of flexibility?

The Recording Connection offers something no “name” 4-year university or audio engineering and music production trade school can. From day one, you’ll be placed in a professional recording studio and receive one-on-one mentoring from award-winning producers and engineers.

With more than 200 locations throughout 48 states, you won’t have to travel thousands of miles for this immersive experience. You learn what it takes to make it in the music business from the inside alongside industry professionals. This includes recording, mixing and mastering, hardware and software, live sound design, and even business skills.

Work With the Stars or Amplify Your Sound

Even if traditional schools could offer everything THE RECORDING CONNECTION AUDIO ENGINEER SCHOOL does – flexibility, a tenth of the cost, six and nine-month programs – we feel there’s something they just can’t offer.

Opportunity. Even with the latest digital audio workstations (Ableton Live, Logic Pro, or Pro Tools), the best instruction, and name recognition, what touring hip hop stars or pop music powerhouses will visit a school to record their latest hit or polish their publisher’s music?

At Recording Connection, our mentors have worked with the biggest names in the music industry. In many cases, our mentors ARE some of the biggest names in the music industry. You’ll have the opportunities to work with touring pros, learn from industry insiders, and meet the people that can help your career.

This is your life, though. You have a decision to make: Walk away with a piece of paper and a pat on the back from a university, or work with the people already in the business, build your brands, and expand your portfolio in nine months? Many of our graduates find work after finishing or even while they’re still in the program.
