MUSIC
CAREERS
AND
JOB
PLACEMENT
The most important thing to you, the student, is can we help you jump start a
career in the music and recording business. We strongly believe that we can.
First of all, over 72% of our graduates land a job in the music or recording
industry--many of them before they even graduate. After all, it stands to
reason, our mentor/apprentice music recording school alternative puts you in
front of the very people who have jobs to offer: working professionals.
Do traditional audio schools find their students paid work in the music
business before or after graduation? Most of the big schools (charging
30-100k) graduate thousands upon thousands of students every year and when
these students are finished they enter into the highly competitive music
business job market looking for paid employment. These unlucky graduates
quickly realize that with no REAL STUDIO EXPERIENCE they are pretty much
useless to just about every recording studio in the world.
 They
also realize that their diploma means nothing and can not, will not get them
hired. We don't mean to sound negative but the truth is the truth and it must
be told. Think about how hard it is these days to get a regular job at say an
insurance company or even at a local bar or club? Well as you probably already
know, it's a 1000x harder to get a job in the music business or music
recording business! Why is that? Well there are a few reasons:
First, the music business is what we call a "marquis job", that is, it's a
dream job that everyone would love to have. Think about it, where do you
think most people today would rather work? In a cubicle or in a recording
studio? In a government office or on a stage? In their boring city or town
or on the road? That said, it probably doesn't take too big an imagination
to realize that a career in the music business is a career that millions of
people are trying to get. What that means is, YOU ARE COMPETING WITH MORE
PEOPLE FOR FEWER MUSIC BUSINESS JOBS. More people because it is a dream job,
less jobs because once someone lands one, they almost never give it up.
Second, the music business does NOT, we repeat DOES NOT, work like the rest
of the job market. That is, when a position in the music business becomes
available, employers do not hire from with-OUT, they almost always HIRE from
with-IN. In other words, music business employers do not usually put an AD
in the local paper or on Craigslist. No, they ask their friends and
colleagues in the business (other recording engineers) if they know of any
hard working, qualified candidates, or they post a job opening on their
company's bulletin board. If you were to talk to 10 professional audio
engineers and ask them if they have ever hired an assistant from a
traditional audio school or from an AD in the paper all of them will most
likely tell you the same thing: NO, I almost never ever hire from the big
schools or ADS, I only hire people that I know and trust or people that come
recommended from other music professionals.
 So
it begs the question: if all the jobs in the music business are awarded to
people that music employers already know, how do I get to know music
professionals doing the hiring? ANSWER: YOU MUST GET YOUR FOOT IN THE DOOR OF
A REAL STUDIO and PROVE YOURSELF to be hard working and qualified. But wait a
minute you're probably saying, "I'm not qualified yet, I have little or no
studio experience !!" Of course, you're right on the money. How does one get
trained, get in the door, and get him or herself the opportuity to prove
oneself? You certainly don't achieve this by signing up for an audio school
that is charging 60 thousand dollars or more for you to sit in a classroom.
No, you go to The Recording connection Audio School Alternative where your
classroom is in a real studio and your teacher is the same guy or gal that you
one day hope will hire you. Make sense?
 NO,
we do not guarantee jobs, no one can guarantee you a job, but think about it
and then ask yourself, "With what program am I more likely to get hired in the
real world, with a program that puts me in a real, professionally run, working
studio or in a college classroom on a college campus? Recording Connection
Audio School Alternative is a specialized program that gives you the
opportuity to be trained by working professionals. It is the only program that
also introduces you to people that might just need, or know someone that
needs, an assistant in the future.
Ask yourself, in terms of training, connections, and tuition price, do other
schools even compare with The Recording Connection Audio School Alternative?
We also have Job Placement Assistance that is included with your regular
priced tuition. That's right we will help you to find paid work in the music
business by actively showing your resume to music industry professionals.
