Kindie Rock from Dallas, TX

Children are constantly learning. Every interaction teaches them something new about this huge world we live in. So guess what? If you’ve ever interacted with a child, even in a glance on the sidewalk…you’re a teacher!

Acoustic Kindie Rock band “Narwhals and Waterfalls” consists of Singer-Songwriters Paige Bell and Adrien Palmer. Hailing from Dallas, Texas, they have both taught music to children ages 0 to 5th grade. In 2018, they connected over their passion to write creative, original songs for kids, that would be enjoyable for both kids and grown-ups alike.

N&W strives to write simple SEL that align with children’s social, emotional, and cognitive development. So whether you’re a professional educator, a stay-at-home parent, a family friend or any other kind of teacher, N&W’s music promotes learning and movement, and will enhance your “student’s” life!

Adrien and Paige are confident that when N&W’s songs get stuck in your head, they will bring a smile to your face.

Paige Bell

Favorite time of the year?

Spring! I love when the weather starts to warm up and everything begins to bloom—it feels like a fresh start and makes being outside even better.

Favorite Meal?

Breakfast with coffee! I love all types of breakfast food such as pancakes, eggs, hashbrowns and syrup. I think I could eat syrup on anything.

What does a perfect day off look like for you?

Sleeping in, coffee or brunch with my husband and our two little ones (ages 2 and 4), then a long walk, run, or ride on the Peloton. I love being outside, listening to a good podcast or audiobook, journaling, making music, creating playlists with my favorite songs, or just relaxing with a show. I’m happiest when there’s no schedule—just going with the flow and enjoying the simple things in life.

What’s a fun or unexpected talent you have?

I’m surprisingly great at hula-hooping... and I can wiggle each eyebrow on command.

Late summer. I like walking around outside barefoot.

Candied yams, french fries, steak and yeast rolls.

Hobbies?

Playing guitar, “playing” drums, yoga, late-night conversations and cooking once every few weeks.

I have one dog. Her name is Tyler and she is 4½ years old. She likes to chew on squeaky things, go running in circles, and…well, go back to chewing on things.

The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.

If you could be any animal…?

A meerkat. Obviously.
