MJ to be subject at AR Rahman music conservatory | Entertainment icon Michael Jackson will be a subject at Oscar winner musician AR Rahman's KM Music Conservatory, according to reports. Rahman himself will
reportedly give the inaugural lecture on Jackson. Rahman loved Jackson's music
and has said about Jackson in the past: "one of the greatest musicians of our
time... pushed the milestone of Pop music to unbelievable levels... I am yet to
find an artist with that energy, perfection and vision..." During their meeting
in Los Angeles (USA) earlier this year, when Jackson showed Rahman a five second
example of his dance move, Rahman stated: "It was like a lightning strike". Jackson
even reportedly asked Rahman during this meeting to compose a unity anthem. Jackson
collaborated with Rahman on Ekam Satyam track in 1999. Rahman is reportedly developing
an album in memory of Jackson, which will include musicians from all over the
world. Founded by Rahman (who is also its Principal), KM Music Conservatory in
Kodambakkam area of Chennai in Tamil Nadu state of India envisions expanding the
horizon of musicians in India by offering education in both Indian and Western
music besides music technology and its mission is to provide students with a strong
artistic, intellectual, and technical foundation. T. Selvakumar is the Managing
Director of this international school of music and music technology whose tagline
is "Become the Future of Music". Conservatory offers Preparatory Program (2-5

affiliation of Middlesex University in United Kingdom (UK), and has proposed to
offer Diploma Program (one year) for international students) and Masters Program
(two years) with concentrations in music performance-composition-technology-education.
