Motivated by recent work on classical matrix membranes we study rotating ellipsoidal membranes in the framework of the light-cone supermembrane theory. We investigate stability properties of these classical solutions which are important for the quntization of super membranes. We find instability modes for various sectors of multipole deformations which represent the emission of $N=2l+1$ $D0$-branes from the rotating ellipsoidal membrane. We exhibit an isomorphism of the linearized membrane equation with those of the SU(N) matrix model for every value of $N$. We numerically determine the instability patterns in various regions of the membrane tension-N diagram
