Rockit is an amazing program. My daughter has grown so much as a musician with the guidance and mentorship of all her coaches over the years. Rockit prepares you for the work and dedication needed to perform at a high level. Amazing program led by a caring and passionate leader in Bruce.

Hands down, the absolute best music education program in NJ. Rockit has given my son so much confidence and helped him find his purpose. The instructors are top notch, patient and supportive. I can’t say enough good things. If you have a child with musical talent, run don’t walk!

RockIt Academy has given my daughter the confidence to pursue her dreams of performing. She came into the program at 16 with one year of self taught experience in her main instrument. The amount she has learned from not only her private lessons in less than a year but from the band rehearsals, other students and instructors has been so valuable to her. The live shows are something we look forward to and seeing very student is so talented and works really hard to perfect their craft. As a RockIt parent I enjoy how wonderful all the parents are in supporting every student whether it’s their first show or they’ve been performing for years. It’s a wonderful community to be a part of and we are so thrilled we found them and sad we didn’t find them earlier!

Often imitated, NEVER duplicated! Bruce and his talented team of music educators are second to none .... truly! Rockit inspires their students with challenging song selections while establishing a professional yet fun approach to the commitment of the full band rehearsal process which ultimately leads to awesome live performances in some of the most famous large & intimate venues in NYC & NJ. You will absolutely be blown away after attending & experiencing a Rockit concert ..... guaranteed!

My son was enrolled in Rock it for 3 years and it has been one of the best experiences in life.He had the chance to interact with very talented musicians who are his age.He also had private lessons with professional instructors and he has improved a lot his skills in his instrument.We are from South America and as a foreigner he always felt welcomed. He earned a scholarship and even a guitar during the concert in honor to Jimmy Hendrix.I really recommend this outstanding music academy and I looking forward to attending the next eventsThank you and sorry for my basic English. There is a lot more that I would like to say but the language limitations don't let me.

Rockit has been an amazing experience for my daughter. She has been in the program since she was 8 years old, and now, three years in, has more musical knowledge and experience than I could have imagined! The instructors are dedicated, motivating, and professional, and the students and families are supportive and welcoming. It's the best program around!

Rockit has been an amazing experience for my daughter. She has been in many performance programs but this has been the most professional program. The shows are outstanding and the talent level is amazing. I am very glad we decided to audition and join Rockit. Best performance program around.

It all started when a friend asked if we would like to go to a charity event with her and her family. Before that we never knew about Rockit but once there we found out that they were the entertainment for the night. But how good could a bunch of kids be? Well not only were we amazed by the talent these kids all had but also the professionalism of them all and the way they seamlessly transitioned from band to band. With my daughter being a singer and musician we had to know more! She auditioned for their next session and was accepted and her journey began. She has grown so much in the program and has been involved in so many incredible shows, singing with Rock and Roll Hall of Fame musicians and learning styles of music she had never been exposed to but now loves! The kids that come out of this program are not just good singers or instrumentalists, they are true musicians, they are true professionals and they are all true Rock Stars!!

My 12 year old son knows more about music than most adults and I attribute it to the experience he's had at Rockit. These are some of the most talented kids you will ever see and it's all due to Bruce and the entire staff. The attention to detail is amazing - down to clothing choices for performances - and you won't find a better music program in the tri-state area. Highly, highly recommend.

My son was involved in the Rockit program for 6 years until he went off to college this Fall. Rockit provides a comprehensive, one-of-a kind learning experience for young aspiring Rock musicians. There is simply nothing else like it out there. As a parent, it has been amazing to watch the young kids grow from novices into confident, powerful performers as they move through the program. Not only does the program teach kids how to become accomplished musicians, it coaches them on the art of rock performance and provides them with opportunities to play at big time venues (e.g. Count Basie Theatre, Cutting Room NYC), often with the celebrity rockers who are associated with the program. During my son’s time at Rockit, he performed with Steven Van Zandt, Steve Miller, Eddie Brigatti (Rascals), Ricki Byrd (Joan Jett and the Blackhearts), Carmine Appice (Vanilla Fudge/Rod Stewart) and others. Rockit expects a lot from their students, and it is for serious students only. Many students go on to further study at leading music schools and careers in the music industry. Rockit is also a 501C non-profit and gives out a significant number of scholarships each semester to deserving students from the area. At its heart Rockit is a close-knit family, and my son made friendships there that will last him a lifetime. I could not recommend it more highly.

My daughter is 11 years old attends the Rockit organization. She absolutely loves the entire Rockit experience. Her piano skills have improved significantly due to the one on one teaching they offer. She is so happy to be part of a band that performs to live audiences throughout NJ and NY. The Rockit Experience builds musical skills, teamwork and offers the opportunity to build lasting friendships. Every member of the Rockit Organization are true professionals and are always there to provide encouragement. They also provide scholarships for students in need. Rockit Organization is the best!

Rockit is hands down the best program for young musicians in the tri state area. As a mother of two children actively involved with Rockit for the past 6+ years, I have witnessed such a positive transformation in each of them since joining, both musically and personally. Students are encouraged to work together and respect each other regardless of age, gender or background. Instructors work with the student musicians in bands to promote musicianship, teamwork and accountability, all while introducing and mastering various genres of music. The Rockit bands perform at various types of venues, including the Count Basie Theater, The Stone Pony, The Cutting Room NYC, and Tim McCloones Supper Club, which provides these young musicians an unparalleled live performance experience. My children have been mentored not only by a top-notch staff of instructors, but also by Rock & Roll Hall of Fame artists Eddie Brigati, Ricky Byrd and “Little” Steven Van Zandt. They have also performed with other notable artists, including Steve Miller, Mark Rivera, Lou Pallo, Johnny Farina, and Carmine Appice. Through Rockit, my children’s confidence has grown and our family has built friendships that will last a lifetime.
