Language Singing Workshop for Kids
Vincent Ziegelbaum, born in Aix-en-Provence (Southern France) is an accomplished singer and musician, nominated as faculty of the year at CCC, and the proud father of two bilingual children. Established in Flagstaff since 1994 after a well-traveled life, Vincent has been involved in teaching languages (French, Spanish and Italian) to all ages (BASIS, The Community School, FUSD, FALA, NPA, Pine Forest, CCC and NAU). His entertaining and educative approach was also developed in his show for kids known as Zig the Clown until 2005. For years in his integrative program (language and music, both fun and effective), Vincent has helped awaken the senses and phonic abilities of many kids, teaching them songs in French, Spanish and Italian with an excellent accent in these three languages. The result is, for the kids involved in the program, a lifetime enhanced ability to learn second languages, which is a strong asset in order to become accomplished world citizens in an increasing diverse cultural environment. It is also a way to honor personal origins, to develop cultural curiosity and open mindedness, as well as strengthening tonal and rhythmic skills.
All children, all voices are welcome in the workshop, thank you for allowing your child to share this experience!
