I
was in my graduate choir class one evening following the CD
signing and my student, Luz, called me. She had called to
tell me that she couldn't stop listening to Linda's GREATEST
HITS CD. She told me that she said to her mom, "Don't
you LOVE this? Doesn't it make you wanna dance?" Her
mom said, "Yes!" Luz replied, "See mommy, I'm
gonna be a Broadway singer, ok?" lol! This girl is in
10th grade, and I kid you not when I say she has an amazing
voice for Broadway. She originally came to me as a dancer
who wanted to sing. By the time she graduates from high school
in two years, she's going to have any choice of college she
wants! I just find it so inspiring to see how amazed she is
with Linda because she now reminds me of ME when I discovered
her! I'm so glad that she is inspired in a new way. I'll have
to treat her to a concert next time Linda is in the NYC area.

Meeting
Broadway Star Linda Eder was an amazing experience. She's
a beautiful person! She has a musical talent to be admired.
I got to take pictures with her and had her sign my CD. She
told me to try to pursue everything I wanted and to hold on
to my musical talent because music is a beautiful thing! Meeting
her has been an inspiration for me to keep my musical interest
and have a life long connection with my instrument, the violin.
Thanks to Ms. Gwasda who made this experience possible!

Meeting
Linda Eder was a wonderful yet unforgettable experience that
I got to share with my teacher and friends. She has an amazing
powerful voice that will continue to inspire me as a vocalist
throughout my studies as a voice major at Berklee and throughout
my musical career!

My
experience at the Linda Eder CD signing was great! At first
I wasn't really into it because I knew nothing about her (but
what she looked like because Ms. Gwasda has a picture of her
posted right in the middle of the chorus room). I also have
never heard her music, but after hearing the song "Don't
Rain On My Parade" on Ms. Gwasda's I-Pod, I was totally
amazed and couldn't wait to meet her! After meeting her, I
was even more amazed because she has such a great personality.
After leaving the CD signing, I ate and went straight home
to listen to the album. I have learned a few of the tracks
like: "Man Of La Mancha," "What Kind Of Fool
Am I," "Some People," and my favorite one,
"Don't Rain On My Parade." Linda has actually inspired
me to become a Broadway singer!
