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 Arizona team boasts an impressive list of clienteles. Our studios are utilized by some of the biggest names in the game—including, Ariana Grande, Beyonce, Justin Bieber, Kelly Clarkson, Tiesto, Skrillex, Snoop Dog, and Blink 182.

Arizona 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 Arizona Recording Connection. Take over the industry in The Grand Canyon State by following your dreams.
