Virginia was my music teacher when I attended the Campus School at SUNY Cortland (I was there from about 1964 - 1968.) I remember her working with me on correct posture and how to hold my hands when I was singing. I had to sing in a recital and started laughing half way through my song. She explained to me afterward that that was a form of stage fright and gave me tips on overcoming that problem. She was a wonderful, kind and patient teacher and I will always remember her.

I was a Campus school student of Ms Springer. When I heard of her passing from friends, It certainly brought back a lot of memories for me. Wonderful memories. Ms Springer infused music into so many of our lives throughout her career. She taught us "the art" of music -- how to learn it, how to stretch & challenge ourselves with it, how to share it, and how to truly appreciate it. Ironically, I saw a reference to a "west side story" song the other day and still, after all these years, could remember all the words! She was THAT kind of teacher. My deepest condolences to her friends & family.

There is no way for me to tell you the influence that Ms Springer has had on my life.She was my beloved choir teacher at Campus School. I did not get too involved in music, and didn't play an instrument or anything like that. But Ms Springer gave me a life long love of singing and music and especially musical theater. For most of my sixth grade year we studied West Side Story. We sang the songs and read the play. These song are still so emotional to me. I love them, and when I hear them I am back in the Campus School singing with Ms Springer. Its a horrible reality that she was faced with such a battle in her final years. I wish that I could have reached out to her and told her how much she meant to me, and how I take my daughters to every musical I can because of the love of musicals that Ms Springer gave to me. I pray for her Peace and for her rest, and for Mr Booth who I understand never missed one of our concerts, I wish you Peace and love as well.
