Why Families Are Obsessed

This Is Not Your Average Sing-Along

Kids Join The Band

Drum circles, shakers, and dance parties every week. No sitting still, no pressing play. The kids make the music.

Real Rock Musicians

Every class and show is performed live by caring, talented pros who know how to work a room of toddlers.

Built For Growing Brains

Language, rhythm, movement, and social skills — the development every music school touts, wrapped in actual fun.

Grown-Ups Rock Too

Parents, nannies, and grandparents are in the band with them. You'll have as much fun as the kids. Maybe more.

Parent Reviews

What Families Are Saying

I have done a ton of other mommy and me music classes here and in the city and this by far blows them all away.

Since coming to class he loves guitars, he walks around playing and singing. Thank you for the wonderful musical influence!

My nanny said the class was AWESOME! She keeps saying it's so much more fun than all the other toddler music classes we've taken.

Thank you so much! Finally a baby music class that rocks!!!

Mr. Michael playing drums with toddlers in class

Hi, I'm Mr. Michael — early childhood music educator, touring musician, and dad. I started Rockness Music with my wife Heather because little kids deserve real music: real instruments, real energy, real joy.

Fifteen-plus years later, the mission hasn't changed: friendship, musicality, individuality, togetherness, and kindness — one toddler mosh pit at a time.
