Leeds College of Music

[EduCativ]

We provide music education to a community of over 1900 musicians through a variety of programs, including undergraduate and postgraduate degree courses, numerous short courses, and Junior LCoM for those aged 9-18. Leeds is the third-largest city in the UK and has a thriving, eclectic music scene that provides the perfect backdrop to studying music.
The conservatoire opened in 1965 as Leeds Music Centre, providing a Light Music course with a significant focus on Jazz. In 1993 Leeds College of Music launched the first Jazz degree in Europe, and in 2004 we became the first UK conservatoire to offer Popular Music, Music Production and later Music Business. Since our inception, fifty years have a diverse offering of music degrees spanning Popular Music, Classical Music, Jazz, Music Production, Music Business, Film Music, Songwriting, and Folk.
Leeds College of Music is the first and only English conservatoire to hold All-Steinway School status. The conservatoire is also a designated Apple Accredited Training Centre, a regional hub for BASCA (British Academy of Songwriters, Composers, and Authors), and a Roland Academy in association with Roland UK.
Over the last 50 years, numerous musicians, industry experts, and supporters have been formally associated with the conservatoire. Fellows include Dame Fanny Waterman, Ronnie Scott, Django Bates, Courtney Pine OBE, Marc Almond, and, most recently, Johnny Kalsi. Dr. Terry Bramall CBE, Snake Davis, Lesley Garrett CBE, Jeremy Lascelles, and John Wallace CBE are our Vice Patrons.
With state-of-the-art facilities and industry-leading staff, the conservatoire continually champions relevant and innovative music education that equips students with the knowledge and skills to meet the demands of a perpetually evolving industry. Leeds College of Music alumni enjoys a range of careers in the music industry as performers, producers, composers, business owners, and more.

We also offer Short Courses for adults in Music and the Creative Arts, from classical piano and music production, to photography and graphic design.
