D.C. Music Production and Audio Engineering Schools

D.C. is a happening and exciting city, with a rich and lively musical history. From Jazz to Hip-Hop to Rock N’ Roll, the District has everything an aspiring musician could ask for! At Recording Connection, we strive to give you the tools and experience you need to turn your aspirations into reality. With tailored teaching and one-on-one guidance, we offer in-person guidance within an easy commute. Let our industry experts take you under their wing for a mentorship program that will challenge and propel you towards the career you’ve always wanted.

HOW IT WORKS

Learn in a Real Working Studio Where Today’s Top Artist Record

What sets us apart from other audio engineering and music production schools is the one-on-one mentor-student relationship and fully immersive learning environment. Instead of a classroom, you’ll learn from your mentor inside their real-world recording studio; working with the gear used by professionals around the world. See how to prepare for a session, learn the business side of running a studio, and collaborate with artists in real time.

Our D.C. team boasts an impressive list of clienteles. Our studios have been utilized by some of the biggest names in the game—including, Post Malone, Whitney Houston, Dave Mathews Band, and Patti LaBelle!

D.C. Recording Connection courses last from six to nine months, meaning while other students are getting ready for their sophomore year, you may already be working in the music industry. Our audio engineering and music production programs won’t put you into massive debt, either.

Save Money, Save Time and Get Connected

Why take out $50,000 for a student loan (and have to pay back even more with interest) if you don’t have to? Our tuition is just a fraction of what four-year universities, colleges, and trade schools charge. Do you really want to spend that much money to sit in a classroom with 40 other students listening to an instructor? At Recording Connection you learn in the studio, one-on-one with a working professional music producer, surrounded by the equipment and the recording environment.

The best part of our program is the real-world experience you get and the opportunity to meet with the very people that can hire you after you’ve completed the program. Our successful students are either hired by their mentors, find a job at other studios based on their mentor’s recommendation, or develop a roster of clients so they can open their own studio.

That just doesn’t happen in a classroom–but it does happen at the D.C. Recording Connection.

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.

Featured Washington, DC Music Production Mentors on Location or Remote

It’s easy to find AUDIO ENGINEERING SCHOOLS in Washington, D.C. , but we feel the Recording Connection offers you the best chance to establish a career in the music industry. Our programs include audio engineering, music production, beat-making, DJing, and more, taught in a recording studio environment by an industry professional.

Along with the technical side of audio engineering, the Washington, D.C., Recording Connection offers a curriculum that covers the music business side of the industry. Opportunities to build your brand and bulk up your portfolio walk through the studio doors every day. We’ll show you how to make the most of those opportunities that come from connecting with the pros while you learn.

After all – this is Washington D.C.! It’s not necessarily what you know, it’s who you know and who knows you. Many Recording Connection mentors have worked with the biggest names in the music industry. Will you be there to help in the booth? Not if you’re in a university classroom.

It’s all part of the WASHINGTON D.C. RECORDING CONNECTION PROGRAM. A university may be well-known but after four years, all they offer is a degree. With us, you could get going sooner at building those credits. Get trained in just 6-9 months and then get going and work and earn three years of experience in audio production or as a live sound engineer or a music producer. Get that list of credits when other folks are just graduating and barely getting started. What makes more sense?
