Well my grandma's a songwriter, pianist, musician, teacher, Emmy award recipient. She's written musical scores for plays being produced throughout the country, (Dramatic Publishing), written original music for the Lets Celebrate series, (Astor Publications), Original piano books using jazz as her medium, (Carl Fischer Publisher) and even appeared on A&E Biography.
The album, Grandma Rocks, started as a dream. Her very special dream to create an album for kids that was different than most childrens albums. It had to appeal to kids of all ages and she wanted to make certain that everyone enjoyed it too. She used swing, Latin, country, pop and rap rhythms and said some important stuff too. For instance, when I lost my first tooth it was an event in our house and I wanted to tell the Tooth Fairy all about it. And when my older sister Lauren started to chew bubble gum she was constantly popping bubbles. She was so excited about it so, Grandma wrote a pop piece about it. . .. (Don't tell anyone but Grandma popped the bubble gum on the recording). And for all of us who feel that we are constantly on the go, she wrote a Latin piece called, Always in a Hurry, Grandma wrote a great rap song about making the whole world laugh. She said it was something we all need to do. There are so many more songs that are fun songs its hard to choose a favorite. The one I sing with Grandma, Grandma and Me is special because it expresses our feelings toward each other.
Composing and writing, Grandma Rocks, has kept her very busy. No matter how busy she is, Grandma is never too busy to make us, Grannys Soup. She wrote a song about that too.
Another thing I want to tell you is that Gary Schreiner, her son, who has written music for movies and commercials produced the album and I sang on it with my sister Lauren.
This is an album made by our family for your family and we hope you enjoy it!
