Lancashire Schools Jazz Orchestra

Our Schools Jazz Orchestra (LSJO) is one of Lancashire Music Service’s county ensembles, providing inspiring opportunities for young musicians across the county

New members very welcome  – come and visit a rehearsal

The Lancashire Schools Jazz Orchestra offers you the opportunity to work with inspiring leaders and professional musicians, alongside like-minded young people from across Lancashire.

It specialises in giving younger students the opportunity to experience playing big band jazz music and many of the LSJO band members progress into the Lancashire Youth Jazz Orchestra.

The incredible Broadfield Specialist school show the impact and reach of using Ableton Push 2 and Live in their curriculum and setting. In this short video, teachers Danny and Ste offer insights into how this amazing equipment has changed their music curriculum, offer some tips and we see Ableton and Push 2 in action.

Lancashire Music Service is proud to have an innovative partnership with Ableton, enabling us to provide Secondary, Specialist Schools and PRUs with Ableton Push 2 and Live Licences at no cost to schools. This enables music technology to be a core part of any music curriculum removing barriers and improving acess for young people across the county.
