HERE ARE SOME TESTIMONIALS ABOUT MY PERFORMANCES AND CDS: "Cheryl Melody’s joy-filled, heartfelt music and storytelling brings a love and deep kindness that are a gift to all. She has a gift and a deep love for humanity that beams through. Every action is done with a mindfulness that is full of compassion and care. We could all learn from her way of honoring our children and honoring life. A beautiful soul and a charming performer.” Mich AtamianFrom
Wendy Young, Family Therapist:
MUSIC THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE--Cheryl Melody's CDs: "If you are a parent that tries hard to instill timeless values, standards and character traits and want to do so in a fun and upbeat way, the music of Cheryl Melody will do just that. Along the way, you will find that Melody's music will raise your child's self-esteem and belief in herself. My kids have adored Melody's tunes and LOVED to fall to sleep to her CD's when they were younger. Music can help instill messages in our children like no other medium can. Melody is spot on when it comes to making music that makes a difference." Wendy Young, LMSW, BCD

"Cheryl Melody is the most refreshing, dedicated and creative artist focusing on the appreciation of diversity in its many forms, and the encouragement of personal responsibility for respectful living. She spreads her message in a joyful way that easily engages both parents and children. I appreciate her ability to be flexible and gear each performance to the specific needs of each audience. Parents have responded very positively to her presentations, messages, and the relationship she quickly develops with the children. The performances themselves are filled with originality and participatory activities for the whole family--so important when the audience is multi-aged. Her performances are meaningful and unique for a child beginning to learn about very important "big" life issues in ways that have impact and staying power." M. Cassidy, Director, Family Network
"Thank you for a wonderful morning of music and fun. I always reach out to the Unit Leaders for each grade level for feedback after an assembly, and it has been all positive about you!! Your message is so beautiful in its simplicity and honesty. I think that is why it resonates with children so well. Keep up the good work, and I will of course continue to keep you in mind for future events. We need more Cheryl Melodys in this world!! Thank you again and we look forward to your new albums"--A. Givens, PTA President

MY LIFE'S PASSION: SHARING MUSIC WITH A MESSAGE
You can probably tell already that I LOVE WHAT I DO. It is my life's passion to reach out to as many children and adults as possible in my lifetime...through my concerts and children's music CDs that nurture children and adults from inside-out.
======================================
WHAT I SOUND LIKE: I have a lullaby type of voice, soothing and extremely clear diction that people often find helpful when they are trying to learn english as a second language, ESL. People also comment that they "feel my heart in the music." Special needs children also benefit well from my approach.
PHILOSOPHY: I believe that peace is possible, and that it starts with peace begins with me as its concept.
Through all of my music both for children and for adults, I love to mirror joy, positivity, freedom, breath, respect nature, and appreciating each moment on earth.
I love to encourage creativity in everyone, and enjoy getting even the tone deaf or those who "think they can't sing"...sing...for it is your birthright to let your sound out!
As Winnie the Pooh says, "Hum a Little Hum."
I believe in nonviolence and conflict-resolution, raising consciousness about the power of words and the hurt of bullying, teasing and gossiping, including cyberbullying.
========================================
These are a few words that describe my heart, my essence, the "who of who I am" and it is all reflected in my kids music and in my music for adults. Above all, music is magic and powerful medicine for opening the heart, raising energy and changing moods, and helping us to relax and laugh and sing our sounds in tune or out of tune...it doesn't matter! Just enjoy being a perfectly imperfect music maker! ...
