​
You don't have to have any experience to take part in RocksCool , it is about having fun and enjoying yourself,making friends and learning to play an instrument whilst developing as an individual.The DCSF (Department for Children,Schools & Families) has found that those youngsters who participated in regular Study Support sessions (RocksCool) achieved one more A*-C GCSE grade than students of equal ability who did not participate in any sessions.
RocksCool work in partnership with schools and other agencies to raise attainment and achievement, contributing to the smooth transition at school whilst developing an enhanced sense of self worth, raising self-esteem and confidence of all involved in RocksCool. Developing life long skills and encourage engagement in new learning,provide an enriching, creative and personalised learning programme,improve attendance, attitudes and behaviour,promote emotional and mental well being and encourage young people to develop leadership and enterprising qualities and attributes.

HOW MUSIC HELPS US DEVELOP
Nearly everyone enjoys music, whether by listening to it, singing, or playing an instrument. But despite this almost universal interest, many schools are having to do away with their music education programmes. This is a mistake, with schools losing not only an enjoyable subject, but a subject that can enrich students’ lives and education. Read on to learn why music education is so important, and how it offers benefits even beyond itself.
