Those who pass by the Schroeder’s in Gresham, Oregon are likely to hear the melodious sound of choral works or Broadway showtunes echoing through their family home. Early in the morning you can hear Jeff waking his children with a rendition of “Oh, what a beautiful mornin’” from Broadway musical “Oklahoma!” or his wife, Amber, encouraging her kids to harmonize with songs on the radio.
