Throughout her successful career that includes seven Broadway shows, two national tours, and many other remarkable productions, Jenn Gambatese has played all kinds of wonderful educators such as Maria Von Trap, (The Sound of Music), Jane (Tarzan), Rosalie Mullins (School Of Rock), and most recently as herself at The Broadway Star Project, where Mrs. Gambatese offered a master class in acting, singing, love, and amazingness.

"It's mesmerizing to watch her guiding each one of these young artists towards finding a way to connect any song with their own feelings and experiences, " said Eduardo Jimenez Pons, President at The Broadway Star Project.

"Jenn not only teaches what she knows, she makes her students experience it. She sings, acts, dances and feels with them" [...] "As the first of the new "Scene a Song" series of Master Classes, Jenn Gambatese's most interactive, formative and entertaining class has set the bar really high for us".

Gianna Harris, a young Broadway star, who worked together with Jenn Gambatese, in School Of Rock, said: "I always liked to sing emotional songs but, I don't necessarily know how to show that emotion and... this really helped".

Jenn reminded the young students that their job was not to show emotion but to generate it. She also told them about the process she goes through to achieve that on every performance.

When asked about what they have taken away from this experience, Ari Sahagun, a student from Mexico City who couldn't stop smiling, stated: "I learned how to express myself through the character and the song, I learned some technique and how to be comfortable with myself". "That is the best that teacher can ever, ever hear!" replied the beautiful Jenn Gambatese with the emotion that only those who really care can ever feel.
