First off, the Instagram. @bonjulin – gotta say, that’s a catchy handle. Only 190 followers? Kinda surprising, honestly. Especially since she’s following, like, a zillion people (959 to be exact). Classic follow-unfollow strategy, maybe? We’ve all been there, haven’t we? 109 posts… could be more, could be less. It all depends on the vibe, ya know?
Then there’s this thing about her book. “Making Music and Having a Blast!” Okay, I’m all for having a blast (who isn’t?), but I’m a bit skeptical when I see the words “enriching lives” slapped onto anything. Feels a tad… sales-y. But hey, if it helps kids stick with music, cool beans. It sounds like it’s a guide for music teachers, but it also aims to help students stay engaged. I’m picturing worksheets, maybe some fun activities, and probably a whole lotta pep talks. Good for her, really. Persistence is key, especially when learning an instrument. I still cringe at the memory of my screechy violin days… Oof.
And then there’s the Facebook Bonnie Blanchard. Malden, Massachusetts. Seems legit. Facebook is, ya know, Facebook. Connecting with folks, sharing memes, arguing about politics… the usual. Probably a good way to find her if you’re, like, actually looking for a music teacher in the Malden area. Which brings me to…
LinkedIn! Okay, this is where things get a little more professional. Massachusetts College of Art and Design, 17 connections. I’m guessing she’s a flute teacher, or *something* music-related, right? That or she’s a super-secret spy who uses music as a cover. (Just kidding…mostly.) The LinkedIn profile probably lists her credentials and teaching experience. Which is helpful, if you’re into that kinda thing.
So, back to bonnieblanchard.com. My hunch? It’s probably a website where she advertises her music teaching services, sells her book (or at least links to where you can buy it), and maybe even has a blog with tips and tricks for aspiring musicians. It could be a real hub for all things Bonnie Blanchard, music-wise. It’s probably got a contact form so you can book lessons and stuff. It might even look a little dated, which is totally fine. A website doesn’t have to be flashy to be useful.
Honestly, I’m just guessing here. But based on all the digital crumbs, that’s the picture I’m painting. If I were looking for a flute teacher in Malden, I’d definitely check it out. Or, you know, stalk her Instagram a little more first. No judgment.
