Rock to the Future provides student-driven music programs in a safe and supportive environment at no cost for Philadelphia youth. We believe in the power of music to improve lives, and we help our students unlock their fullest potential through the benefits of learning music. We prepare the next generation for every stage!

Register for Our Virtual Classes

Rock to the Future is now providing online programs! Our new virtual programs keep youth connected, creative, and engaged from home. Students in grades 3-12 will be given an instrument and all supplies needed to join, no experience is necessary, there is no cost, and we can provide assistance with technology training and needs. A final showcase in December will celebrate students’ talents, creations, and achievements this semester.

One-on-one academic, mentoring, and music support is now also available Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 3 – 6pm for grades 1 – 12. Sign up for an upcoming Orientation Session through our sign up button below or learn more.
