If you know someone aged 8 to 118 who is interested in developing as a rock musician then WSRP is definitely the place to be. We provide expert tuition from experienced musicians, a relaxed band practice atmosphere, performance opportunities and a great social life! The WSRP team have been doing this since 1997.

WSRP is a place where rock musicians of all ages can find the company of like-minded fellows, hone their musical craft, learn about team-work and make loads of noise!

A term lasts for 10 Saturdays during school term time and we usually hold our end of term show on the Sunday following the final session. WSRP happens at the following times:

* The session for Adults may run between 2pm and 5pm if sufficient numbers attend.

We hold instrumental / vocal lessons for the Seniors and Adults on a forthnightly (or greater) basis and we offer basic recording opportunities for bands with original material. Additional recording facilities are available through WSRP (extra charges apply).

We also hold a week long Summer School during August which is for Juniors and Seniors only (school holidays). The students still meet at the same times but from Monday through to Friday in just one week with a show on the final day. This is an intense week! In a normal term the students have a week between each of the 10 sessions to practice - in the Summer School it's 5 straight sessions and then a show. It's great practice for 'cramming' songs and is great fun.

All individuals enrolled on a WSRP course are expected to bring their own equipment - please click here for details. If you can't find the answer to your questions using the links on the left please just contact us and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.

A little history...

The history of WSRP stretches back to September 1997. Originally it was called Rock School and was run at Worcester College of Technology. The course evolved and grew through the hard work of it's tutors and eventually a new venue was needed. Over Summer of 2004 the team decided to set up alone and rename ourselves as Worcester School of Rock & Performance. We now operate entirely independently of WCT.

For some earlier history please take a look at the website of Mick Jones, the original leader of the course. He has written an excellent potted history of us on a page there... Click here to read it.
