Description
ABOUT YOUR INSTRUCTORS: Michelle and Dan Prindle founded Living Music in the Home in 2014 to help teachers and homeschooling parents bring living music into their homes and classrooms. The couple met in high school and their relationship was musical from the very beginning. They were cast opposite each other in the school production of Fiddler on the Roof as Motel and Tzeitel (who get married in the show). Their lifelong love of music eventually found a counterpart in a love of Waldorf Education. Living Music in the Home brings these passions together, creating a program that is deeply rooted in a rich musical tradition and a wealth of experience in education. Between them, the couple has a combined 58 years of musical training, a combined 30 years of educational experience, two Bachelor’s degrees in music, a Waldorf early-childhood certification, and a Music Theory Master’s degree with a Ph.D. on the way. Their passion is bringing music to children, especially their three little ones, who are all under the age of ten.
