roc star academy south
Opens winter in Geneseo
2025
ROC Star Academy is expanding! We are opening ROC Star Academy South in Geneseo this fall. The newly constructed studios are located adjacent to the SUNY Geneseo campus in the Interfaith Center.
​
We are gearing up to form bands and offer lessons in vocals, guitar, bass, drums, and piano/keyboards — with coaching from professional working musicians and showcase performances at Geneseo venues like Drumroll Stage. Join our waiting list today and we’ll be in touch with Academy information and the grand-opening date. Student musicians range from 8 to 21 and we also host adult bands.​​
ROC Star Academy South has received a warm welcome from Livingston County and Geneseo, where Elvio earned his college degree from SUNY Geneseo. In a recent “Alumni Spotlight” article Elvio shared that Geneseo is where he learned to embrace music. Although he grew up in a musical family, there was no ROC Star Academy when he was a kid, so he taught himself to play piano. In high school he began singing and songwriting and then learned to play guitar and formed his first band while studying at SUNY Geneseo.
