Recording Connection features the mentor apprentice method of teaching students the necessary skills by having them work one-on-one with their mentor on real world projects. Recording Connection enjoys working relationships with mentors in professional recording studios across the United States and Canada.

Recording Connection is accredited by the National Private School Alliance. It is not a Title IV School. There is a curriculum that is followed so that all students learn the skills required by a recording studio audio engineering, technician or music producer. Business skills are part of the curriculum.

ADVANTAGES
Choice of locations, real world experience, one-on-one training and attractive pricing are the main advantages of Recording Connection, and that’s saying a lot. No other recording school offers as many locations for the student. Not having to relocate, or quit a day job, can offer significant financial advantages to the prospective student. Financially, the low tuition price is also a factor.

Perhaps the biggest advantage held by the Recording Connection is the real world experience. Course instruction takes place in real recording studios under the guidance of a working professional (usually the chief audio engineer or owner of the recording studio) who serves as the student’s private tutor. This provides the student with tremendous opportunities to learn a wealth of practical knowledge and meet a host of professional contacts in a short period of time.

THINGS TO CONSIDER
No Title IV College Degree. In the music and recording industries, the closer you are to the production, or recording and mixing side of things, the less a degree means. Learning in a mentor/apprentice environment is a lot like learning to swim by being tossed in the deep end of the swimming pool with no warning. For some, it serves as a catalyst and provides the ultimate learning and network situation…others can find they are simply in over their heads.

FINANCIAL AID
Recording Connection offers several internal payment plans that vary in the amount of down payment and monthly payments. Sallie Mae student loans are also available to qualified applicants. The Recording Connection Financial Aid Department will help you with your Sallie Mae application at no extra charge.

SUMMARY
Recording Connection works best for the person who is self-motivated. It is tailor made for those with an entrepreneurial makeup. If you have a burning desire to be around music, if you want to make your band famous, if you have conviction about your musical ear, this course can help make that happen.
