Course Description

Develop your skill set in more than one subject area and study with a wider range of expert staff in this Jazz with Popular course at Leeds Conservatoire. You’ll take your Specialist Study modules in Jazz and your Specialist Group Study modules in Popular music.

Leeds Conservatoire's jazz degree was the first in the UK, and over the last 50 years we've become a leading authority in jazz across the UK and Europe. You’ll play with jazz musicians from all backgrounds, from raw talent to polished, and from progressive to purist. You’ll also benefit from working alongside students from other pathways, collaborating with producers, sound engineers, composers and entrepreneurs on your own independent projects.

This highly collaborative course will shape you into a forward thinking, creative artist, grounded in the tradition but with a hunger to take music to new dimensions.
