Leeds Junior Conservatoire
Leeds Junior Conservatoire (LJC) is a space for musicians aged 8-18 from Yorkshire and the North. We run sessions every Saturday in term time in performance and music production, short courses during the year such as Jazz Camp for Girls, Generation Big Band, and 1-1 lessons. LJC provides a nurturing environment for young people to develop their creativity, connected by their passion for music.
We aim to work with Leeds Music Education Partnership and support the national plan for music education in supporting young people to create music together and progress their musical interests and talents.
Our curriculum allows students to perform in small ensembles/bands and study musicianship options to support their interests and needs. Options include acting, composition, guitar skills, keyboard skills, music production, musical theatre singing, theory, and vocal skills.
