New Financial Aid Available

Recording Workshop is pleased to announce a new option for financial aid. 57trust is a tuition payment plan designed to help those who have found it tougher to get assistance through traditional sources.

What is different about 57trust is that it enables students to stand on their own two feet and get approved, no co-borrower is needed. And for those students who haven’t yet established much of a credit history in their life, 57trust is an option that can still get the OK.

This is possible because 57trust is a financial aid option that looks more towards the future rather than the past. Approval is largely based on students showing they have a plan to smartly use the skills and knowledge gained from an education at Recording Workshop.

Instead of submitting extensive financial records, applying for assistance through 57trust involves a written questionnaire that lets the student express their professional goals and demonstrate their focus.

Recording Workshop knows the success that is possible through the combination of our training bundled with the efforts of a well-focused graduate. This time-proven formula is the basis for the word “trust” in 57trust. We know what our grads can do.

And what about that number “57”? There is no better symbol of the successful Recording Workshop grad than the iconic Shure SM57. This mic has the professional reputation we want our grads to achieve: Rock-solid dependability and a magic sound.

An application for 57trust is available on request and there is a limit to the funds on a per session basis. Your early submission is encouraged. More info...

B.Y.O.B.?

Bring Your Own Blanket?... Nope, we've got you covered.

Bring Your Own Band?...That’s not it either. We already have great bands lined up for you to record and mix.

So what’s up with the acronym?

Be Your Own Boss.

Being Your Own Boss is a key phrase for the savvy audio professional in the year 2010. And making sure our students are super-savvy is a Recording Workshop goal.

Our grads have always been successful at finding gainful employment. A school doesn’t stay in business for nearly 40 years without mastering this function. Indeed we are very good at preparing our students for the real needs of the real world of audio production.

But an ever-growing number of Recording Workshop graduates are staking their claim as independent audio professionals. This is a much more viable option than it once was. The cost of equipping yourself with a powerful music recording rig has dropped dramatically in recent years. It seems like science fiction what is now possible.

Recording Workshop has added a new emphasis to this industry trend. Our curriculum for 2010 is the best ever for keeping all your options open as you embark on your career path.

Whether it’s a path towards employment or being your own boss, Recording Workshop will layout a road map and strategy for you to make it happen. We will train you how to put together smart, optimized music production systems. Rigs you can make money with. And that is NOT science fiction.
