For your recording projects, you can bring in any band you would like. Some students will bring in bands that are in a specific genre for the majority of their projects. Other students will focus on a wider experience and work with a number of bands in different genres. We will instruct you on how to best meet and approach bands for your recording projects. Austin is all about live music, bands are always interested in working with TRCoA students.

TRCoA doesn't require you to focus on a specific genre and in general, will encourage you to work in a wide variety of genres for your projects.

No you do not need to have experience. TRCoA has designed its courses to give you all the tools you will need to become a successful recording engineer.
