Talk
N Drum Foreign
Language and Music Program
offering FREE demo
classes!
Speaking a new language to the beat of a drum!
For young children, it's as easy to acquire a
second language as learning a first language. From
birth, children's brains have a unique 'window of
opportunity' to absorb a second language naturally
through consistent exposure and enjoyable activities.
This past year, Yorktown residents Nanette Garcia
and Maurice Minichino have successfully incorporated
this concept into TALK N DRUM, Foreign Language
and Music Program. They have been providing and
bringing this multi sensory method of teaching a
second language to children in local preschools,
youth centers and libraries. Now these innovative
co-creators/educators/musicians Nanette
Garcia and Maurice Minichino have established TALK
N DRUM at 2 new locations: in Mt Kisco at the
Lutheran Church of Resurrection, 15 S Bedford Road
and in Yorktown Heights at Melantone Studios, 2481
Evergreen Street.
Talk N Drum Foreign Language and Music Program
has already been incorporated into many early
childhood library programs and private and public
preschools including the YWCA in White Plains.
According to Rhonda Heumann, Director of Preschool
Education at the White Plains YWCA, "Talk N Drum is
an innovative foreign language program. Besides
using the Ancient tradition of drumming to teach a
new spoken language, Nanette Garcia's multi-sensory
approach enhances children's creativity, listening and
organizational skills, large and fine motor
development, and above all else, it's FUN!! Nanette
brings out the gifted in each child." In addition to
being a powerful language
acquisition aide for young children, the Talk N Drum
system helps children gain cognitive benefits,
accelerating verbal and math skills. It also promotes
teamwork and a sense of community, while teaching
tolerance and acceptance of all people and the
cultures to which they belong.
If your preschooler has not yet experienced a
Talk N Drum class call ASAP to reserve your spot in
one of our FREE demo classes that will be held at the
Lutheran Church of the Resurrection (15 S. Bedford
Rd. Mt. Kisco) every Monday in December from
9:00am to 10:00am and at Melantone Studios (2481
Evergreen St. Yorktown Heights) every Thursday in
December from 9:00am to 10:00am. Demos are for
children 2 to 5 years of age and will be in both
Spanish and Italian. Moms, dads and caretakers are
welcome to participate in the FUN too! For more info
