There are many professional musicians and educators that teach lessons in our area.  We are lucky to be very close to a number of universities with outstanding music programs.  Below is a list of instructors that currently work with our students IN Blanchard.  They come to Blanchard at least once a week and teach lessons at the MS & HS. 

Students and their parents are responsible for all contact and arrangements.  High school students wanting to receive letter points for lessons must study with their teacher for a majority of the year.  For more information regarding private lessons and/or letter points, please check your band’s handbook, found on the Student Info page.
