Join the Band, Heal the Universe

with Natalie Meadors

Healing Force derives its name from the 1969 Albert Ayler jazz album, Music is the Healing Force of the Universe. All of us here, and we expect you, have experienced various levels of healing through the vibrations of music, and we hope to give our children the tools and experience to bring healing to their own lives and those around them through the force of music.

Join the Band, Heal the Universe:

January-March (April 4) Winter Season 2026 is open for Enrollment!

0-2 years baby band class: $165/month (45 min)

3-5 years band class: $165/month (45 min)

5-8 years band class: $200/month (60 min)

Bring your kids 0-8 into the Universe of Healing Force! Your little dippers will be surrounded by various instruments that will inspire a deeper exploration of music through familiar songs, both old and new.

Nestled in a cozy living room setting, newborn to eight-year-old kiddos are introduced to traditional rock band instrumentation and experience collaboration with their teacher and local musician, Natalie Meadors of Valley Queen.

0-3 years baby band classes: Parents come to baby class and play along to help introduce collaboration to their kids with fun games, sing-alongs, and movement. Saturday or Sunday mornings at 10 AM. Maximum of 8 families.

3-5 years band classes: 3-5 year olds learn to play amongst themselves with the guidance of a professional musician! Every 3-5-year-old is assigned an instrument in the band (drums, bass, guitar, vocals) and will learn a song (that we collectively choose) over the course of each season. Saturday or Sunday mornings at 9 AM. Parents are welcome to participate in the first two classes to help their little ones feel comfortable in our space. After that, the class transitions to a drop-off format, allowing the kiddos to get the most out of the class. Parents are welcome to hang out and mingle under our front atrium (we’ll make a pot of coffee) or head out for a breakfast date/neighborhood stroll, etc, for the duration of the class. Maximum of 6 kiddos - the max ratio for kids to teachers is 6:1.

5-8 years band class: 5-8 year classes receive slightly more advanced attention to their instruments, moving further than the basic concepts of 3-5 year beginners. Mondays after school from 4-5 PM. Bands cap out at 8 students.

In addition to song-based learning, the kids get a taste of all the instruments, as well as artistic activities that reinforce musical concepts as they are learned.

We meet once a week on Saturdays or Sundays until the season culminates at a Join the Band, Heal the Universe Concert at Healing Force of the Universe. Family and friends welcome to attend!
