Degrees and Diplomas Are Irrelevant in Music and Recording
 

Unless you desire to be a music label accountant, a college degree or diploma is not a job prerequisite.  Degrees and diplomas carry little, if any, weight when it comes to getting hired in the Music or Audio Business.  Unfortunately, the goal of most Music Schools , Audio Engineering Schools and Recording Schools is to grant you a diploma.  With The NRS-AI, the goal is always to get you hired.  We do this by concentrating on what's necessary for you to learn to make yourself attractive to those that do the hiring in the Audio and Music Industries. 

The NRS-AI believes the best way to learn a job is to do the job.   By learning your craft from your personal tutor, a real, working recording professional, on real-world music recording sessions, you gain real-world experience and real-world connections that no college campus can duplicate.  That's because in Recording Schools everything works perfectly.  In the real world, Murphy’s Law holds true (“If something can go wrong, it will”) and if you haven’t experienced that sinking sensation of having things fall apart in the middle of a session during your training, you just plain aren’t ready to be hired.  Industry pros know this.  That’s why they don’t hire someone just because they have a good resume or a diploma, and are reluctant to hire people fresh out of Music Schools because they haven’t been seasoned by the real world yet.

What It Takes To Succeed In The Music Business

It takes a special breed of person to succeed in the Music Biz.  It’s about dedication, focus, passion, ability to handle the unexpected, and a whole lot more.  The best description of a person who is right for the business is this:  Are you the kind of person who gets home at 6AM after working a 20 hour day, and when your alarm wakes you in two hours at 8AM for a 10AM session call, you can’t wait to jump out of bed and get to the studio?  If you aren’t, don’t bother applying with us, you don’t have what it takes. 

Because the real success stories are the people who wake up on their own at 6:45AM and already out the door at 7AM.  And wanting it to never stop--you have to want that too.  And it’s not about the money.  It’s about the work.  It’s about being a part of creating something out of nothing.  It’s the satisfaction of having pulled off something great, something that you know you have a right to be proud of…and it’s this passion for the work that is essential to success.

That's why we only accept one out of every twenty applicants (5%) to The NRS-AI.  We don't want to waste your time.  We don't want to waste our mentors' time either. 

The good news is that because the NRS-AI's admission standards are so high we have an exceptional record of student success (as of 05-09-09 100% of students who complete the entire NRS-AI six month curriculum find employment or start a company and create employment in the music industry within a year to two years of graduation.)
