Diane Muffitt is a retired Middle School Band Director, now devoting her time to Sudbury Valley New Horizons Music, which she and her wife, Linda Murdock, created back in 2008. Passionate about teaching and bringing music to those who thought they’d never be able to play or to play again, she worked with New England Music Camp (Snow Pond) to create New England Adult Music Camp. When not teaching and practicing, she and Linda love to canoe, go birding and travel in their 1991 Volkswagen Camper Van.
Linda Murdock had a multidirectional career, including musician, lawyer, teacher, and school principal. For most of her life, the horn was her primary instrument, until she fell in love with the tuba a few years ago.
She conducts, arranges music for the band and other ensembles, and manages the group’s financial affairs. During the pandemic period, she learned to do video and audio editing and created many of the 24 virtual performances posted on the group’s TH-cam channel. She also conducts and arranges music for her church’s bell choir.
Both Diane and Linda describe their passion for teaching and strongly believe that it is never too late to begin playing music.
