Paige Bell and Adrien Palmer met in 2018 with a simple goal: write great music for their students and kids everywhere. Both music teachers, they wanted to use that opportunity to also teach life skills, specifically Social and Emotional Learning. More and more school districts are embracing the importance of SEL not just as a part of education, but as the foundation that makes all learning possible. Paige and Adrien recognized that need and formed Narwhals & Waterfalls to help create songs, curriculum, and resources that make SEL fun for everyone.

Inspired by Mr. Rogers, Raffi, and Laurie Berkner, N&W’s acoustic Kindie Rock sound is minimalist, translating easily from the studio to just an acoustic guitar. Many of their songs feature simple movements and prompts that can be acted out to engage the entire body in the learning process. Their live shows feature lots of crowd engagement, encouraging kids and parents to grab an egg shaker, sing and dance along, and help create a unique, special experience.
