Register your interestLeeds Junior Conservatoire (LJC) is a space for musicians aged 8-18 from Yorkshire and the North. We run sessions every Saturday in term time, 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 believe that music education should broaden musical horizons, and our tuition isn’t limited to one style, with classical, indie, jazz, musical theatre, pop, rock, and more on offer. Students can play in a band, discover music production, and learn about the wide range of opportunities in the music industry. Our tutors are skilled educators with a breadth of current music industry experience.
We don’t want cost to be a barrier and have bursaries available, including fully funded options.
