Faculty Highlight

Scott Blankenbaker
Music Instructor

Sharing the transformative powers of music has been my passion since childhood. Helping students discover and share their musical voices, whether through music theory or voice lessons, is what keeps me going. Riverland provides me the opportunity to work closely with students while allowing students a wide range of musical experiences.
