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.
We will submit your music to labels or get you a job in a studio or as a creator.

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.

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?

Yes, we have over 4000 positive reviews. Our students value the impact our programs have on their future. You learn from the best.
Recording Connection does a GREAT job at placing you into REAL studios with REAL engineers and opens the door to allow you to create those connections with your mentor, and continual learning. You truly get out of the program what you put in. Another great aspect of the program are the virtual advisors that can help you with question regarding Pro Tools and other material as well. Much props to Alex Solis for helping me through the program!

After being a musician for a couple of years, I've decided to take my music skills to the next level. I was very fortunate to have landed in Recording Connection, they helped me out since day one with my registration, and any paperwork needed. I was placed at ES Audio Studios in Glendale, CA. My mentor at the studio, Donny B. is very knowledgeable. He helped me through the process since the beginning. He helped me pick a great laptop suitable for Engineers. I had no clue of the existence of any DAW's, and after a few months of spending time at the studio, asking questions, getting a hands on experience, and doing colabs with other students/engineers I now have the privilege to be a professional. A huge thank you, to all who helped answer my questions and helped me grow as a professional engineer.
Jorge Fuentes Quiroz – Los Angeles, California
I had a very good experience with Recording Connection and my mentor Donny Baker from ES Audio Recording Studios. He taught me the things that I need to know about being an engineer/producer and to always be prepared for the gig and to keep the gig as well. I learned a lot from my mentor, other students that are more experienced, my Academic Facilitator Jon, and other engineers that worked there. I thank everybody that has helped me through this journey and will use the advice that has been given to me to improve as an engineer.
