Interested in playing jazz?
Or would you like to book a jazz band for a special occasion?

Play Jazz with us!

We have three groups in our Jazz and Pop Programme. All music is specially arranged for the Bands and is unique to Lingard. We play big band to the latest chart hits, and from classic jazz to funk.

The Training Band is tailor-made for youngsters who are fluent beginners to Grade 3 standard as singers or on any woodwind or brass instrument, piano/keyboard, drums/percussion, electric guitar and bass guitar. A perfect way to gain experience in playing your instrument with others, develop your sight reading and aural skills, learn how to improvise and make new friends!

The Senior Band is designed for young musicians of Grade 4+ playing in a wide variety of exciting styles to expand their knowledge of grooves and develop their improvisatory skills further.

The Quintet ("Quintessential") is a small specialist ensemble which studies jazz theory and performance in great detail. The group consists of five regular members plus one or two additional members who are ‘learning the ropes’.

Tom Greenwood hired the band for his birthday party. He writes to say:

"I am writing to say how well the band did at my birthday party. I had 35 guests altogether with an age range of 1 to 89. We all enjoyed the selection of music and how it suited the occasion. I was impressed by their professionalism and musical ability. There is no doubt the band enhanced the occasion and added that special touch that makes parties stand out in the memory. They clearly have a great future as a band and as individuals. Thank you for bringing something extra for a special occasion for me. I will certainly be asking for them again!"

And earlier in the year ...

When the Quintet played at this summer's Braishfield Summer Fayre the organiser commented afterwards: "Thank you on behalf of the School and PTA for your excellent support of our Charity through your thoroughly professional 7-piece Quintet! Not only great musicians but such delightful well-mannered people, and a great example of how this World would be so much better if youth were all of their quality."

At the Up Sombourne Village Party last July, Martin Hughes said, "We were really impressed by the quintet, they had a very positive attitude ...They added a perfect atmosphere for one of the very few nice days of the summer."

And in September, the bride at the Wedding Reception at Lainston House Hotel said, "We were so happy with the band at the wedding, they were fantastic and everyone really enjoyed them!"

You can't get a warmer recommendation than that!
(We'll hide our modest blushes!)

You can join the Training or Senior jazz groups for a fee of £78 per term for Registered Students or £96 per term for unregistered. The Quintet members must be registered with Lingard and are involved on an invitation only basis.

Which one is for you? It's easy to find out.
Just ask to come along and sit in on any session or come along to the ‘Bring A Friend’ Session on the last rehearsal of each term.

We have two main groups available for hire at corporate functions, parties, weddings and other events and we can ‘tailor make’ the music to personalise the entertainment.

Recent venues include the Hotel du Vin in Winchester, Carey’s Manor Hotel, Brockenhurst, Lainston House Hotel in Sparsholt, Winchester Cathedral Refectory, The Posthouse in Portsmouth, Moira House Public School in Eastbourne, Avington Park Country House and numerous other venues across the south.

The Quintet is our advanced student group with a similar repertoire to the main band but at a significantly reduced rate.

The Senior Band consists of twenty young musicians that play a wide variety of exciting styles – from big band to popular film titles, from classic jazz to funk.

NEW We can also arrange smaller packages – including a unique flute ensemble package – ideal for the Wedding Ceremony and Reception.
