Raising a Child’s Emotional IQ through Music

By Cheryl Melody | December 10, 2009

Recently, I was delighted to receive the 2010 KIDLUTIONS PREFERRED PRODUCT AWARD for my 6 children’s music CDs.  The reviewers were looking for products that develop emotional intelligence, as well as being entertaining.   As a composer and educator, I believe that the WORDS in each song need to be purposeful and consciously written.  Words go […]

Teaching the Whole Child

By Cheryl Melody | August 29, 2009

Do you remember that awful song…something about “School Days, dear old Golden Rule days…Reading and Writing and ‘Rithmatic, taught to the tune of a hickory stick”…Ouch! well let’s assume the hickory stick part is not done anymore, anywhere…but the reading, writing and ‘rithmetic are more emphasized than ever…WHAT HAPPENED TO MUSIC?!

Sticks and Stones and Words and Music…The Connections

By Cheryl Melody | August 5, 2009

Music is healing, powerful and has staying power! I am a children’s musician,  and also integrate music with adults, combining song, sound, healing, chants, positive words. I work as an ARTIST FOR ALZHEIMER’S volunteer, and even though people are forgetting time and space and memories…they DO remember a song they sang in childhood, and people who have […]

The Importance of Words in Music for Children

By Cheryl Melody | June 14, 2009

The words in children’s music are important.  They are vital in  nurturing a child’s delicate growing being.  Every lyric in each song in all of my 7 CDs for children are purposeful and conscious. Words can encourage self-esteem, potential, creativity, and most of all enhance character-building and values of tolerance, sharing, caring, kindness, patience, respect for each other […]
