by illiad | Feb 24, 2025
In today’s fast-paced music industry, real-world experience is just as vital as mastering technical skills. At Philly Recording School, we go beyond traditional classroom education to prepare our students for actual industry careers in audio engineering and music production.
Whether you're training in our state-of-the-art recording studios or studying with our Audio Engineering and Music Production courses or both, online and in-studio, we ensure our students gain hands-on experience that mirrors the professional audio world.
State-of-the-Art Studio Experience: Hands-On Learning with Industry-Standard Equipment
Our in-studio classes sets us apart from other schools by offering students access to professional-grade equipment in real recording environments. Philadelphia's premiere audio engineering and music production school is equipped with the latest technology used in the industry, from Pro Tools and Logic Pro to high-end microphones, mixers, and digital audio workstations (DAWs).
Students enrolled in our Audio Engineering, Music Production and Dual Program courses gain invaluable hands-on experience with the very tools they’ll use in their professional careers. Whether they’re learning to record vocals, mix tracks, or master songs, they get firsthand experience in an environment that mirrors what they'll find in top-tier studios. This prepares them to handle the pressures and responsibilities of a professional audio production setting, ensuring they are job-ready when they graduate.
Curriculum Designed to Reflect Real-World Audio Production
Philly Recording School’s curriculum is crafted to mirror the real-world demands of the audio engineering and music production industries. Our students engage in practical, project-based learning that spans both online music production courses and in-studio audio engineering programs. We understand the need for a balanced education that combines theory with practical application—students aren’t just learning about sound theory, they are actively producing music, engineering audio, and working on real projects.
From live sound production to studio recording techniques, our courses are designed to equip students with a diverse range of skills. Students are encouraged to take on real-world projects such as producing an album, creating sound for film, or working on audio for live events. With this hands-on approach, Philly Recording School ensures students are prepared for the full spectrum of challenges they’ll face as audio engineers and music producers.
Industry-Experienced Faculty: Learning from Professionals
Our instructors aren’t just educators—they are professionals with years of experience in audio engineering and music production. Our courses are facilitated by some of the Philly Tri-States' most prolific audio engineers and music producers who have worked with well-known artists, producers, and sound engineers, offering students insights into both the technical and business sides of the industry. This real-world experience enriches our curriculum and provides students with a comprehensive understanding of how to succeed in the competitive world of audio production.
One of our instructors is Samori Coles, a recording studio owner with over 25 years of experience in the industry. With a deep understanding of both the technical aspects of audio engineering and the operational side of running a studio, this instructor brings unparalleled expertise to the classroom. Students have the opportunity to learn directly from someone who has been on the front lines of the industry, offering them practical knowledge and invaluable insights that cannot be gained from textbooks alone.
Flexible Learning Options: Online and In-Studio Programs
we understand the need for flexibility. That's why we offer both online and in-studio program. Whether you prefer the structure of an in-person program or the convenience of learning online, our programs equip you with the tools and knowledge to succeed in the Audio engineering and Music production industries.
Our online course is interactive, offering hands-on assignments, live feedback, and mentorship from industry professionals, allowing students to learn at their own pace.
