Kids Classes
at Healing Force
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.
We are now offering three different types of classes at seven different time slots each week.

Children engage their auditory and visual senses through drawing, painting, and sculpture alongside choice album listens each week. These classes emphasize fun and exploration! Through a hands-on approach, children will learn foundational elements of visual art like color, line, pattern, and form. Each session includes a listening experience paired with engaging art activities. Classes are available on Tuesdays for ages 4-6 and another for ages 7-9, providing tailored learning experiences for different age groups. This is a stimulating and enjoyable way for kids to learn about art and music! Led by sound and visual artist/teacher, Samantha Simmons.
Only 8 kids per class.

Bring your little stars 0-5 into the Universe of Healing Force! Your little dippers will be surrounded by a variety of instruments that will inspire a deeper exploration of music through familiar songs, both old and new.
Nestled in a cozy living room setting, kids 0-5 years old are introduced to all traditional rock band instrumentation and experience collaboration with their teacher and local musician, Natalie Meadors of Valley Queen.
Parents come to baby class and play along to help introduce collaboration to their kids with fun games, singalongs, and movement. 3-5 year old kids learn to play amongst themselves with the guidance of a professional musician!
Every 3-5 year old little one is assigned an instrument in the band (drums, bass, guitar, vocals) and will learn a song (that we collectively choose) over the course of the winter/spring/summer or fall sessions.
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 every Saturday (or Sunday), culminating with a concert at the end of our season to show our friends and family our progress!

Unique music classes in L.A. that delight your baby or toddler and support their development, with refreshing original kids songs (that you’ll actually like).
“As a new mom, I noticed that my musical play had a specific focus on ear training, pitch, rhythm, and movement.
I began developing songs and activities that honed in on the things that felt most important for my young daughter’s musical development, and that is how the idea for these classes was born.”
Leah Paul, Founder
Classes begin March 16 and run through May.
