What families say

“My son has been going to Rock N Roll U for over 5 years now. He has had awesome piano instructors, and has played in many different bands over the years. RNRU is an amazing place! Not only are they an excellent music school, but they find so many ways to help kids get involved in the community. We are lucky to have them here in Hauppauge!” — Michele I.

“My son began lessons at RNRU in October '17 and has thrived! His music has improved drastically and he is in love with the program! His lessons teacher takes his time, doesn't rush him out and shows an obvious love of music and teaching. My son has stated he's learned more with RNRU in two months than he did taking private lessons through another local organization after a year.” — J. N.

“Every time I photograph the events at Rock-n-Roll U, the place is packed-out. Unbelievable job done here, unbelievable talent and effort from the folks here. Great leadership. Great place!” — Adrienne B.
