Early life and education

Troendle was born in Chicago to Victor Hugo and Isabel MacDonald Troendle. She was raised in Minneapolis, where Victor was president of the Troendle Wholesale Paper Company.

Troendle studied with Adolf Weidig and Arne Oldberg at Northwestern University, and with pianist Fannie Bloomfield-Zeisler, working as her assistant from 1913 to 1920.

Career

Troendle taught in Chicago at the MacDowell School of Music, the Sherwood Music School founded by William Hall Sherwood, and at DePaul University School of Music. She served a term as president of the Society of American Musicians.

An excellent pianist, Troendle did a trial recording for the Victor Talking Machine Company in 1922 which was never commercially released. She played for Recordo piano roll 67220 and Story & Clark piano roll 72827. She gave recitals and toured as a pianist, appearing as a soloist with the St. Louis, Minneapolis, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, and Chicago Women's Symphony orchestras.

Troendle's music was published by Clayton F. Summy Co.
