ACM announces new Bournemouth base
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 5 December 2011
The Academy Of Contemporary Music has announced it will launch a new regional centre for the South Coast in Bournemouth, basically replacing existing local music school The Music Factory, and offering a number of its music courses in the town, the first time they have been available outside ACM’s core base in Guildford. It is all part of ACM’s ambitions to make its courses available further afield through other colleges.
Confirming the new Bournemouth venture, ACM Commercial’s Executive Director Julia Leggett told reporters: “ACM Regional represents another initiative that fulfils our objective of bringing the ACM curriculum and ethos to a wider audience. Each Regional Centre will mirror the main centres within each country, creating an outreach programme that will allow more young people access to our award-winning music-learning programmes. Coupled with the successful launch of the youth franchises, we are ever closer to achieving our goal of international access to contemporary music education the ACM way”.
