Educator Background:
Debbie Mondale earned a Dual Bachelor degree in Music Therapy and Psychology. Working in clinical settings seemed too limiting, esp. after her first child was born, and when Kindermusik was found, she jumped at the chance to express herself creatively with children, and to share the magic of music with families. She loves to sing anywhere, with anyone, and enjoys playing the guitar to accompany her songs.
Debbie Mondale gained Maestro status (top 5% of educators worldwide) in 2004 due to the number of families reached in Polk County, and has continued to receive this status every year since then. Currrently, Debbie is the Florida State Representative of the Partnership of Kindermusik Educators.
Personal: Debbie is the proud mother of a 12 year old son, and a 4 year old daughter, and LOVES both the joy and challenge they bring to her life.
