Ed, the Invisible Dragon was one of the first songs ever written by Canadian composer and music educator, Donna Rhodenizer. Her young students were thrilled to include Ed in their singing repertoire, and other music teachers began requesting copies of the music. Ed began making his way through elementary school music programs and vocal studios around the world and has been a favourite performance piece at many vocal exams, recitals and concerts.
