I am so sad to hear about Dr. Gerster's passing. He was such an incredibly wonderful person. He was a very inspirational person to me. He got me into playing piano, and always had me strive to be the best person that I can be. He would have us tap into our creativity...and he was so funny too, the best story teller! I learned so much from him. Each day at school was a special day for me, thanks to him. I was his student back in Homan Elementary, 5th grade. My love and heart goes to his family. I feel so very blessed to have known him in my life. I will forever miss him.

Dr. Gerster was my theory teacher; I saw him every morning at nine o'clock for two years in college, and loved every single day. For years I've told my students about him--his hilarious ear-training tests, his gestures at the piano, so many funny and fun memories of this person who opened the door to my understanding of theory and form. I can't begin to imagine my music career without what he taught me; Schenker analysis permeates my every day as a professional musician and my teaching and performance reflects what I learned from him. I hope I infuse as much insight and humor in my work as he did. I am ever grateful for his influence, and will remember him to my students for my life. He was a great gift to us all.

Condolences in this sad time. Dr. Gerster was my professor for Ethnomusicology and a constant source of amusement and interesting information. The world is a lesser place because of his passing. We will hold your family in our prayers.
