With great sadness we can report that Jez Cole passed away on Sunday 22nd November, Cymone and Casper were with him. He owned and ran WSRP from April 2009 to March 2020 - the longest reign of the rock school leaders! Here are a few of my favourite pics of him from my pre 2009 archive. BBC Music Introducing in Hereford & Worcester will be broadcasting tributes to him from 6pm this evening (28th Nov) so please listen in - they will be discussing the various music projects he was involved with as well as WSRP. If you have any nice photos or memories of him please do send them along so we can pass them on. RIP Jez.

Today would have seen the relaunch and open day of Worcester Rock School but, as stated on our website, we are unable to do that today due to covid restrictions at our venue. We are working hard to get Worcester Rock School up and running as soon as possible. In the meantime, please sign up to our newsletter for the latest info and news regarding all things Dragon Music :-)

We are delighted announce that from the Summer Term 2020 Dragon Music will be taking over the running of Worcester School of Rock & Performance. This is an exciting development for us as Dragon Music’s founder, Brian Hoggard, originally started Worcester

It's a long way off as clearly music groups and schools arent open yet. Once they are Dragon Music's, Worcester Rock School, https://www.dragonmusic.org/worcester-rock-school.html
will be ready to support you and start you on your rock and roll journey. We will still be about as a resource to help encourage people to find music groups suited to them, run by qualified and experienced tutors as we always have. A new approach just as we are no longer running things on the ground in the future.

Due to the Corona Virus, Bishop Perowne is closed as of 3pm 20/3/2020.
With regret we have made the decision to cancel our final weekly sessions and show on 21/3/2020.
We decided in the interest of safety to all students, staff and parents to cancel and hopefully rescheduled an event for the current bands in the future, to help promote Worcester Rock Schools big launch.
So sorry and this term has been brilliant, lovely students, great tutors and good music as always.
Thanks for everything, love you guys and all your enthusiasm.
Keep practising your tunes for the big event😉
The Wsrp Team, Jez and Cymone 🙂

We are hopefully handing out our final show badges this weekend but if not and you want one as a souvenir, please message us. We will send one anyway to past and present students as a little thank you. We appreciate everyone who has been part of WSRP. Thanks for the last 23 years from Jez.

We are playing it by ear with Saturday. No idea which way itll go at this point. We will have to wait until we get information from the school on Friday afternoon, unfortunately and following that whatever the Government has decided to do this week.

14/03/2020

Will post as soon as we know anything about next week. Being safe from the virus is the priority.

Sad day for Jez ordering the last WSRP Show badge. Everyone will get one this time so adults aswell. All desgined by Jez. Brians original idea to start badges in 2004 was cool. Students collected them and tradition is good thing.
Other info: The shows are on until we know more about things, over the next 2 weeks, keep well out there. The WSRP team.

After many years of running Worcester School of Rock & Performance the owners, Jez & Cymone, are opting to put health and family first and as a result the rock school will be being run by Dragon Music from Summer 2020. Dragon Music is owned by Brian Hoggard who founded WSRP back in 2004, so it's coming back into experienced hands. Brian will be popping in regularly for the remainder of this term to ensure a smooth transition in Summer. All enquiries about next term please do via www.dragonmusic.org or e-mail [email protected]'.

Dragon Music delivers instrumental and vocal tuition in schools in Worcestershire. We also host music events for young people to help develop their skills and gain valuable performance experience.
