Uwe Kind is an international communicator who escaped from former East Germany and moved to the US in 1965. As a German teacher at the New School in New York City, Uwe developed SingLing, a language learning technique based on familiar tunes, which he later refined as a graduate student at Harvard University. Uwe has since published 

four SingLing books which are used by students and teachers worldwide as a fun and effective way to learn conversational German, Spanish, and English as a second language.

Uwe and producer/composer Mark Schaffel created and developed LingoTech. LingoTech is music that fuses melody, rhythm, drama, movement, and language phrases into a total experience that inspires young people to acquire languages. LingoTech builds on the premise that music helps language students with memorization, intonation, and pronunciation.

Uwe's approach extends well beyond the classroom. Some of his notable students include: Johnny Carson and David Letterman (he taught them to speak German and Chinese on their late-night shows); Gail Sheehy (German); New York construction workers (taught them French on the Real People TV show); Rykers Island inmates (English) and correction officers (Spanish); Sesame Street's Big Bird (German), Harlem tour guides (German), Girl Scouts of the USA and countless corporate executives. His book, "Eine Kleine Deutschmusik," was adapted by Tokyo's educational network NHK and has become a popular television show in Japan. He is also the author of "Deutschvergnugen," "Tune Into English," and "Tune Into Espanol."
