"KMOS-TV in Mid-Missouri loves Monkey Monkey Music! The interstitials
play throughout our children's programming seven days a week. Monkey

"Keep up the GREAT work! Monkey Monkey Music is VERY appealing
to children, both to watch and listen to. The songs are gentle, yet
lively and infectious, perfect for youngsters and for parents who are
discerning about what their children watch. There is a lot of so-called
'children's music' out there today with distorted guitars and a hip-hop
feel that makes one wonder if the target audience is really the children,
or older teen siblings or even parents. Meredith's music really stands
out as family-and-child friendly, and it leaves you with a good feeling."

a huge hit! Our client, ESPN, was extremely happy with her performances

original songs hours after the show!" - Ryan Oakes, Partner, The

lives of children. Because of your creativity and beautiful songs, Lily's
third birthday party was a success. I could not have imagine a better

a wealth of information on keeping kids attentive and entertained. Dan
Zanes please step aside so Meredith LeVande can win a Grammy." - Raquel,

at Conor's first birthday party. You made the day so special for us and
my family and friends are still talking about how much fun they had. I
have never seen Conor (or Fiona) dance and smile so much as they did during
your show. One of my cousins even quoted that you were the best children's
entertainer they had ever seen. You definitely helped to make the day
one that we will always remember. Fiona is already asking about when we
can see another show." - Tracy, Mother of Conor and Fiona

Olivia's birthday party! You are so incredibly talented and you have such
a wonderful passion for teaching little children through music! You are
truly amazing! My little granddaughter, Hunter, was absolutely captivated
by you and your wonderful music! She loves her new DVD and will have so
much fun dancing to your songs and remembering you! I wish that we had
known about you early enough to have booked you to perform at Hunter's
birthday party! We are thrilled that Hunter got a 'front row seat' at
your performance on her actual birthday! You were the highlight of her
first birthday! I am especially glad that I got into town from Texas in
time to enjoy your show, as well!" - Debb, Grandmother |

person." - Ronin, Duran and Family
