History

In 1958, pianist-composer-educator Vadim Petrov founded the People's Art School which offered courses for working people and was the precursor to the Jaroslav Ježek Conservatory. At the time of its founding, all music schools of the former Czechoslovakia focused primarily on Classical music, but the People's Art School offered training in jazz and commercial music for radio, theater and television. Unfortunately, the school was not able to attain the status of conservatory for ideological reasons until 1990, the year after the Velvet Revolution.

From the very beginning Jaroslav Ježek stood as an artistic and human inspiration. When the school finally managed to become a conservatory, at the end of the 1980s, the name of this impresario was accepted as the name of the school.[1] In 1998, all the facilities of the Jaroslav Ježek Conservatory were able to be co-located in one building at Roškotova 1692/4, in the Prague 4 district.

gollark: Worse variants of spells were secretly disseminated by the rulers of magical Britain.
gollark: The reason this never happens, and that British wizards never do anything smart, is that magic was actually reverse-engineered by a technology company's research department back in 1960 or so. They use memetics and/or various wizarding mind control things and/or generalized fidelius charm to stop everyone else being smart, while secretly ruling wizarding Britain.
