TESTIMONIAL ON ALL CDs:

"We bought all of them. I just trusted that they were going to give us a package of meaningful music that would reinforce all the values we are trying to instill in our kids. We love the way she encourages expression of feelings, self-esteem, appreciating differences in others, respect, manners, and problem solving she reaches the whole child, and the kid inside of us too!" --Nancy & Harry Gordon, Home-school parents, Massachusetts

TESTIMONIAL ON ALL CDs:

"Our children LOVE Cheryl Melody's CDs! I love the CDs because they help to reinforce all the character-building values we are trying to instill. I use her CDs as a parent, as a social worker, as a workshop facilitator, as an educator and writer." --Wendy Young

"What a GREAT CD filled with SO many activities. It's the next best thing to having Cheryl here with us doing a personal music class for us! Her voice is very warm, clear and loving, and we do the finger plays, circle games, dancing, rocking, bouncing, tickle chants, beat chants, horsey songs, and have a blast with her original TRA LA LA OPERA. This CD is GREAT! We use it in the car, at home, at the grandparent's house, in their preschool, everywhere!" --Charlton Family

"2 year old Trevor puts this CD on everytime we get home. He LOVES to play peek a boo with the duckies, jump with monkeys, crawl with the spider, and dance and march around the house. He just loves this CD!" --Jessica and Charles Brooks

"This is a great CD filled with so many types of songs that grow with children as they grow. You can TELL a true TEACHER created this CD, someone that really understands children-their world and values that can benefit them." --Lynn Zhandalien, Teacher

"This CD is jam-packed with a wide variety of songs-we love it as a family, and I use it in my classroom to teach the values Cheryl has included in her thoughtful CD. She has everything in it, from imagination songs, to dancing songs, to multicultural songs, to teaching children about manners and caring for each other, to self-esteem stories and songs--no wonder it received a PARENTS' CHOICE award-it deserves all "bravos." --Alan Sylvio, Teacher

"Our kids LOVE the IMAGINATION TRAIN RIDE! They also love the self-esteem story about SHY MOUSIE. They go around the house saying, "I'M AN AMAZING PERSON TODAY" because of her song--what parent wouldn't want to hear their child say that! Her nature songs are great, her dancing songs, her OLD KING COLE BIRTHDAY DRAMA is filled with super messages, her African welcome song is very catchy with the drum, her ABC song sung in another language is super to experience, her NAPTIME OPERETTA with the 2 children singing with her...it's all amazing--she exhibits humor, good values, and the child's world, all in one CD." --Zhang Family

"What a GREAT story to have children hear! I play this story in the background as the children are working in the class. They relax, they hear the meaningful messages, I can hear some of them hum songs. CELEBRATE PEACE is another gem, filled with singable songs the kids can sing, and we've used in assemblies and in the class. Cheryl's speaking and singing voice is pleasing to the ear, and the children learn while they are being entertained. What a find this was, a real gem."  --Chris Z., Montessori School, Lexington, KY

"A great, meaningful musical story about kids that learn to respect each other and bring that awareness to others. Adults need to hear this story too, and live the words! Am buying her other CD to go with it, "CELEBRATE," and her MUSICAL PLAY for our elementary school, PEACE BEGINS WITH ME,"---we'll be teaching this message through her music for a long time to come." --Oklahoma City School

"What a world this would be if we all could live the messages in the songs from this special CD. We are learning English and living a sense of respect more as we hear songs like THE NO BULLY RAP, ONE PLANET, SHAKE YOUR OWN HAND, PEACE IS A VERB, IF YOU HAVE A DREAM. Thank you Cheryl Melody! --Elementary School in Columbia

"We performed this play in our school, and the kids got so much from it as they learned the meaning of the play. We talked a lot about bullying, words, respect...it was great, and they were so excited to put this play on in front of the parents." --Claypit School, Wayland, MA
