Schools Jazz Programme 2022/3 In reponse to the tragic lack of music education in some of our schools, Jazz Leeds has embarked on a programme to assist secondary schools in Leeds in running jazz education using it’s own project funds to kick start the process. Following discussions with Leeds Conservatoire and Leeds Artforms (the music hub) we have gone ahead with a project with Roundhay, Allerton Grange and City of Leeds secondary schools.
