The fastest, lowest-pressure way to give your child a real musical foundation — without buying an instrument, driving to lessons, or needing any musical background yourself.

You'll help your child:

1. Feel music in their body — internalizing beat, tempo, and rhythm before ever being asked to name a note
2. Hear and find their own musical voice — through melody, solfege, and singing, building real listening skills
3. See and build music with their hands — locating notes on a keyboard, finding Middle C, building a chord, and playing a 5-finger scale
4. Discover how instruments are used -- exploring instrument families, types of ensembles, and building and opportunity to naturally gravitate towards an instrument they are genuinely interested in playing 

By the end of all 36 weeks, they'll also understand the instrument families and musical genres — giving them the context and confidence to choose their next instrument with excitement instead of guesswork.

Zion Lake Music Foundry is perfect for homeschool parents who want to give their 5–8 year old a joyful, foundational music education at home — without needing a musical background, an instrument, or a weekly drive across town.

MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR!

I'm Nate Woodall, nice to meet you!

For the past twenty years, I've made my living in music — as a musician, songwriter, touring professional, and composer in Nashville, TN. I've played multiple instruments, written songs and recorded them, scored music for TV and commercials, been a classroom instructor, and taught private music lessons. I also hold a BA in music composition from Centre College and a Composition for Film & TV professional certificate from Berkelee. 

I stepped away from my touring job at the end of 2025 after feeling for several months that it was time for a change in my professional relationship with music. I didn’t have a proper plan or vision of what that might look like; only a deep feeling that God would create a path and I needed to be available to follow it. After the holidays settled, one of my sisters asked me if I’d be interested in teaching her girls some general music lessons. They were homeschooling on the go with RV life at the time so I started to put a lot of thought in to ways to structure remote lessons that would be substantial, impactful, and engaging despite the on screen connection. What began as a desire to help my nieces develop a genuine love and understanding for music turned in to a bit of an obsession. I spent the winter and spring lesson-planning, developing activities, and learning to teach on camera. By summer, I had developed an entire 36-week homeschool music curriculum…without a name.

I went through idea after idea, but couldn’t land on one. Coming up empty handed, I started to think back to early musical memories and experiences that had a lasting impact on me. The piano in Mema and Papa’s living room, my dad playing his Gibson guitar with the rainbow strap in church, singing Bible school bangers like “Father Abraham” and “This Little Light of Mine,” being in awe of my cousin Jesse’s early guitar skills, my Uncle Tom leading worship with a killer house band, my Mema casually shredding the grand piano while my Papa sang from the pulpit, and many more. They all happened at Zion Lake, the church/campground that belonged to my Mema and Papa.

Zion Lake Music foundry is built upon a lifetime of musical experiences and everything I've learned in twenty years of professional music-making. I believe every child deserves to grow up hearing the world more richly. Not to win competitions or impress anyone — but to understand what they're listening to, to feel it in their bones, and to walk through life with the confidence and critical thinking that real musical understanding builds.

This isn't theory for me. It's decades of stages, studios, classrooms, and compositions — turned into something that can change the trajectory of your child's creativity and musical confidence, lesson by lesson, week by week.

Imagine another year goes by, and music never quite finds its way into your homeschool. Not because you didn't want it — but because you never found the right place to start. The "someday" instrument never gets picked. The lessons never get scheduled. The window where your child is naturally curious, uninhibited, and eager to discover quietly closes — and gets harder to reopen the older they get.

Every week without a musical foundation is a week your child isn't building the rhythm, the listening skills, the confidence that make every future instrument easier and more joyful to learn. The kids who thrive when they finally pick up a violin or sit down at a piano aren't the ones with more natural talent — they're the ones who got to discover music first, without pressure, before anyone asked them to perform.

That foundation doesn't build itself. And the longer you wait, the more you're asking your child to start instrument lessons from zero — without ever feeling, hearing, or seeing what music is before being asked to play it.

Now imagine another path....

36 weeks from now, your child claps a rhythm without thinking. Hums a melody and knows where it's going. Sits down at a keyboard and finds Middle C like it's nothing — because it isn't anything new to them anymore.

They don't see themselves as "maybe musical someday." They see themselves as a musician. Already. Because you gave them the foundation before anyone asked them to prove themselves.

That's not a guess. That's not an expensive risk on an instrument they might not stick with. That's 36 weeks, less than $7 a lesson, and twenty years of real musical experience built into every video.
