Choices About Music Recording Careers

With the economic trends being more challenging over the last few months, you may be one of a bunch of students out there who are weighing your options when it comes to your next step after graduation. Is college an option? Or are there other ways to get into the music recording business? We (those of us at the Entertainment Career Connection) see this all the time.

In fact there are a number of students who actually went to college, then came to us after that to REALLY learn the business. At the Los Angeles music recording school, it only makes sense that we got our own students and mentor teachers on video to explain their stories. Check out Los Angeles recording school mentor Doug Maxwell's video on YouTube. He has some great tips and comments.

Another cool story from student Leslie Greer in Atlanta, “During my apprenticeship I got to meet P. Ditty, Master P. and Jermaine Dupri. I had the honor of working with David Banner in Atlanta. I can’t even explain to you how much this program did for me. I thank you and bless you.”

There is just tons of stuff that the Recording Connection programs teach that you just don't, or can't get in traditional schools. The curriculum qualifies graduates for positions as a music producer or a recording studio engineer. Plus the best thing is that students are taught in one-on-one private sessions in a real recording studio. It's an apprentice type situation - under the direct supervision of a music industry professional working on real-world projects. Plus there's no experience necessary, and students can take classes part time during night or weekend sessions, training around a current job.

The teachers are mentors who know how to succeed in the very competitive recording and engineering field - so they end up passing their knowledge and experience on to the students. It is a win-win situation.
