Brookdale President, David Stout, has supported Rockit from his first encounter with the program. “Bruce’s staff of talented instructors, educators and board members have made the difference in so many lives in helping young people along the path toward making their aspirations a reality,” commends Brookdale President Dr. David Stout. “Their dedication, mentorship and community focus complement what we do at Brookdale every day across disciplines.”
The Rockit Academy rehearsal space at Brookdale Community College is one-of-a-kind and equipped with everything necessary to house the best aspiring musicians in NJ. Executive director, Bruce Gallipani, has spent decades cultivating the correct rehearsal space vibe to make sure young musicians stay inspired. Beautiful artwork has been donated by Kevin Myer, top of the line equipment has been donated by industry greats such as Craig Balsam, and music memorabilia is scattered throughout the room to motivate young musicians to achieve their top potential.
Brookdale Community College has gifted Rockit the use of this rehearsal space as well as multiple practice rooms to hold one-on-one lessons.
