Mrs. Blanchard is a certified Musikgarten instructor. Music Mind Games, Dalcroze Eurhythmics and her own musical games keep students actively participating in the joy of music making.
She is a member of PMTA, GPC-MTA, MSMTA, MTACC, and MTASM. Mrs. Blanchard also participates in the MusicLink Foundation, a nonprofit that connects promising students from families with financial need to professional music teachers who volunteer reduced-rate instruction, helping children nurture musical potential that might otherwise go unsupported.
