Despite a few petty voices that are raising unfounded complaints about a Recording Connection scam, the vast majority of Recording Connection students could not be happier with their experience, especially the ways in which it gave them opportunities to learn “on the ground” in a way no formal college or university could ever offer them. By finding internships in the recording industry for all students starting day one, those enrolled with the recoding connection get hands on experience and a chance to develop a one-on-one mentoring relationship with a professional in the field.
Not only do Recording Connection students get this interactive and practical experience that will surely serve them well as they travel forward on their career path, but by inserting themselves into the workplace they can afford themselves all sort of connections, contacts and networking opportunities that can never be found in the classroom. The very notion that there might be something even vaguely resembling a Recording Connection scam could not be more baseless.
Almost every graduate of the skills based program goes on to find jobs and advance up the professional ladder at a rate higher and with greater compensation for their efforts than that which can be claimed by so many institutions that over emphasize book learning at the expense of acquiring the practical skills that will be necessary for future success. The whole face of the recording business is changing, with online sales and event marketing almost totally supplanting the traditional album release format of the 20th century. Many recording schools stay mired in the past, with a focus on driving record sales, failing to acknowledge that this outmoded revenue stream will soon produce no revenue whatsoever.
To become part of the future of music, students must get into recording companies and see the way business is actually being conducted here and now, at this pivotal moment in the distribution of all media through the internet. Students at the Recording Connection gain those insights because their classroom is the work place, and when they complete the program they are ready to work efficiently and knowledgeably from their first day on the job.
If there were indeed a Recording Connection scam, it would be impossible for so many of our students to go on to such lucrative and fulfilling careers in the recording industry, using the hands on experiences they have had in our program to build a professional life for themselves in which they feel comfortable and assured that they have the necessary knowledge and skills not just to survive, but to thrive.
