Music has always been a part of Cheryl’s life and the language closest to her heart. Cheryl has been performing since childhood, with professional recordings in her native Philippines, regular sets at some of New York’s best known supper clubs, and most recently as the lead singer of Island Magic, one of Long Island’s most recognized wedding bands. Cheryl holds a B.S. in music therapy from Molloy College in Rockville Centre, New York. She is a classically trained vocalist, plays the guitar as well as the piano. In addition to being an entertainer, including performing at children's birthday parties, she uses her talents, love of music, and training in music therapy to help others. While working as a music therapist, Cheryl worked with both children with special needs and geriatrics.

After the birth of her daughter Madelyn, Cheryl became a Music Together^® mom. Although already well aware of music’s power to heal, she marveled at the way Music Together helped her connect with Madelyn. In Music Together she found the perfect marriage for her love of music and the love she holds for her children. As a registered Music Together teacher, she looks forward to every opportunity she has to share with parent and child, the language of music, the language of her heart.
