At the Recording Connection we are known industry-wide for how hard we will work to get you educated and connected, while keeping you out of debt.
We are serious about changing the way people learn and get connected into the music business. We prove this to our enrolled students each and every day by working hard to go over and above the call.
In addition to learning one on one in a recording studio from your mentor, a seasoned expert in audio engineering and music production, all of our apprentices also receive the following additional services:
Electronic Music Tutoring - create the electronic music you want to make with one of our in-house music producers as you work in-studio with your mentor. We will pair you with an Ableton Live Certified Instructor, a Logic Expert, a seasoned Reason professional, a touring DJ or professional musician to help you at no additional charge. Imagine having two mentors! One in the recording studio and one in your studio or home or working from our home campus in Los Angeles. It's all possible with The Recording Connection Electronic Music Tutoring service. We want to help you create the tracks that will advance your career.
Tutoring - Need help with a lesson you're struggling with? Need deeper insight into Pro Tools, Logic, Ableton, Reason, Cubase, FL Studio, Waves, etc? Whatever your audio production needs are, we can meet them in our one on one private tutoring sessions, offered to you either in person or remotely.
Online Publishing Instruction - We are proud to give you up to date one on one instruction in publishing your best tracks or music collections. Monetizing your music online is a skill today’s musicians should be knowledgeable about. Our experts look forward to showing our enrolled students how to take advantage of the new world of music publishing.
Professional Certification - We are proud to be offering the RRF Certification as well as certification in Pro Tools, Logic, and Ableton Live. Please talk to your Admissions Counselor for more information after your interview in the studio.
Career Counseling and Website - Each student is placed with his or her own Career Counselor who is here to help you maximize your understanding of the professional demands of the music, film, video, and other media related industries.
Real Job Placement - The Stay Connected Job Placement Service - We are known around the world for how hard we work to get our graduates and students jobs in the industry. Did you know that we have landed over 900 people jobs in the last 18 months? Larry King called us "Amazing in our efforts" for our work in getting people employed. Our Job Placement service is comprehensive and detailed. We will help you to meet the people you need to meet to get you employed.
Brainstorming & Research - Once a student begins the stay connected curriculum, we ask that he or she brainstorms a few ideas on what they’d like to do now that they have graduated. Several factors are involved including experience, availability, and end goal. Once a student determines his or her end goal, deciding on taking certain jobs and internships will be much easier. For research, we require that the student looks into companies in their area that they may be interested in as well as creating an inventory list of every job or position they’ve held related to their field.
Business Writing - Business writing is the final, second part segment which will help students prepare for job applications, business proposal writing, and much more. The first part, incorporated through use of social media, is designed to help students start putting their work out there and trying it on for size. Once a student completes the social media curriculum, he or she will be ready to start finalizing their drafts and paper notes into professional documents.
A 5-year Plan - The five year plan is an essential part of the stay connected curriculum to help students focus on their goals. Though nothing may be set in stone at any point in our lives, the 5 year plan is designed to help graduates streamline their goals in their chosen field. Example: while Joey may want to start out his career as a local DJ to help pay the bills which would develop into live sound operation then band management or event production, Kevin may have already established himself as a musician locally and may choose to begin volunteering at a studio which would later to develop into head engineer or music producer. Brainstorming and research is a prerequisite to the 5 year plan. Each part of the stay connected program is complementary to its counterparts and you will learn more and fill in the blanks as you go.
Social Media Marketing Curriculum - These days it’s not enough just to be talented and passionate about your music. You need to build your own following. Gone are the days when record labels would send A&R guys to clubs to find out who was hot. These days record labels, management teams, and everyone else finds out about new talent via Social Media. This is also true for music producers, audio engineers, and recording studios. Our online social media course will take you through the steps of social media marketing for creative professionals. Position yourself as an entrepreneur, able and committed professional, or as an artist with pro tips on breaking into the music business.
