Established in 1972 by legendary audio engineer Brian Ingoldsby, Pinnacle College is the first of its kind anywhere in California.

Small classes, the right mix of analog and digital equipment, and a curriculum that covers all the aspects of the recording engineer career that you'll need in order to land your first – and subsequent – gigs. Our advice to anyone interested in this field is to look at how long an audio school has been around, the size of their classes, and the kind of reputation the school has among top employers.
