Elissa Oppenheim Schreiner, AKA Grandma, has created a children's CD called Grandma Rocks The House. The CD was produced by her son, Gary, and two of her grand-children. It's truly a family affair.Schreiner a former Yonkers School district music teacher, has led an illustrious music career. She left the school district in order to have children, but never stopped teaching music. She also spent time as an accompanist for singers Diahana Carrol and Robert White, composed piano books, sheet books, and scores for children's theatre, and even won a regional Emmy in 1988 for the music for the television special "Sneakers."
The CD features thirteen original songs performed by top musicians big and small and uses different grooves ranging from swing to R&R, Latin to Country, even a rap called Baby. During the creation process, Grandma met with groups of children (ages 3-10) wanting their point of view as to what they'd like to hear. And many of her Westchester students ended up performing on the CD.
