Jun 1, 2009 12:00 PM, Compiled by Sarah Benzuly
The Academy of Contemporary Music at the University of Central Oklahoma (ACM@UCO) will open its doors in August 2009. Confirmed master-class instructors include Lily Allen, producer Greg Kurstin, Tom Biery (Warner Bros.) and Oklahomans the Flaming Lips. Classes will be held at the Oklahoma Warehouse Building off Flaming Lips Alley in Oklahoma City's Bricktown district.
Scott Booker, CEO of ACM@UCO, also heads Hellfire Enterprises, the artist-management company he founded in 1990 whose roster includes three-time Grammy winners the Flaming Lips. Booker worked with university and state officials to bring the school to Oklahoma City by partnering with the UK's Academy of Contemporary Music.
ACM@UCO is fully accredited by the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education and will offer Associate of Applied Science degrees in five areas of study: performance in guitar, bass, drums or vocal, and music production.
Expanded courses of study and a four-year degree program will be offered beginning in 2011.
