Holiday jazz courses

Twice a year, we hold holiday jazz courses – open both to Leckford Place students and children from other schools. Run by professional jazz musicians, these introduce younger students to jazz performance and improvisation.

These popular courses – known as Jazz@Leckford Place – are a fantastic way to enliven a school holiday through a journey into the world of jazz, with its richness of rhythms and improvisational approach within a disciplined structure.

In the past, these courses have been attended by students who've found that the experience of jazz has enriched and enhanced the classical training they've already been receiving.

When do the courses run?

Jazz@Leckford Place runs twice a year – during February half-term and again towards the end of the summer holidays, in the penultimate week of August. The courses are suitable for children aged 8-13.

Alongside the jazz courses, we've recently introduced Art@Leckford Place courses for 10-15 year olds, running in parallel. If you'd like to find out more about either, please do contact us.
