My expe- rience has been filled with plenty of highs and certainly a few lows, W but coming to Urban Family has definitely been one of the highs. It plugged me in to a city I knew nothing about, allowing me to try new things, eat at new places and meet some pretty fantastic people. Although my time in Shanghai is coming to an end, I want to thank my colleagues, friends and all the fabulous families I’ve met along the way for making the last two years so memorable. If there is one thing I’ve learned since being here, it’s that you should take advantage of every opportunity this crazy city throws your way. For my last issue, I decided to go with a cover story that is an important topic for parents to consider when it comes to your kids’ education: 21st Century Skills. No matter where you live in the world, companies are changing their priorities WIN WIN WIN in who they hire, and schools should also change how they teach to prepare students for real-life scenarios.

But on those nice days, there are a couple of places that we enjoy. We go to the Xuhui Riverside Public Open Space where they have a huge rock- climbing wall for kids; it’s a really beautiful OUR FAVORite ... place to go for a walk. Once it really gets warm enough and the air quality is good, we like to take the kids swimming at Shimao Riviera Garden in Pudong. There is both a large swimming pool and a really shallow pool for kids. Places for culture There are so many things in Shanghai and every time there is a nice exhibition we try to go, such as the National Geographic show at the observation deck of the World Financial Center. The Tim Burton exhibit last year was great as well, especially for the kids because it was so interactive. Also, we love live music, especially jazz: we go to places like Heyday and JZ Club a lot.

  • Introduction to P.B.E.Syllabus™
    INTRODUCTION TO P.B.E.SYLLABUS™ Two decades in the making, the meticulously crafted approach has been evolving and improving since - Play by Ear Syllabus™ (Study of Contemporary Music Improvisation & Aural Techniques) . It is a teaching methodology that was written by an international team of teaching professionals and performing musicians, designed to make the experience of learning music and improvisation easily accessible to all ages, regardless of their experience with music. It helps any student, even a complete novice, to acquire essential musical knowledge and gain the ability to play the instrument in a reasonable span of time, without going through years of traditional or classical training. This is done possible using the modular approach, in which students can choose to learn what they like and apply them to the choices of songs they prefer. Because all students are from various walks of life, P.B.E.S™ ensures that what is learned will only complement and not conflict with previous music training (if any). Above all, the training never disregards the rudiments of music such as proper posture, fingerings and notation reading. It is the fundamental assurance that every student learns only what is deemed correct in the educational system of music. Our courses, in-conjunction with P.B.E.S™, pave the way for anyone to attain their desired musical proficiency – be it as a subject of academic study, for proficiency of performance or for personal enjoyment. The courses available include Pop Piano Improvisation, Jazz Piano Improvisation, Pop Guitar Improvisation, Pop Vocal Improvisation & Pop Piano Junior. Each course comes in 8 levels of difficulty (with the exception of Jazz Piano Improvisation).

  • Introduction
    高科大應用外語學報 第十一期 Introduction In the early 2007, a singing contest was aired in Taiwan. The program, One Million Dollar initiated as a nameless contest with only less than 1% viewing rate. However, it ended in the first season hilariously: contestants were frequently listed in Yahoo as the popular key words for online surfing and the program was also listed as the top ten must-know news. Popularity of One Million Dollar manifests the trend of TV contests is as famous as that in America (Super Idol) and England (Pop Idol or British Got Talent). None the less, the program employed a new strategy in fabricating an idol by website. Take the first season as an example. Audience enjoyed chatting or even arguing in Xuite (an official website of One Million Dollar, Season One). This also formed a sense of communities. In Xuite, the audience were separated gradually by the stars they supported and became fans. With the end of the first season, to pursue a perpetual fandom, these fans built up forums for their stars. This paper, thus, introduced one of the fan forums—Acid YOGA. Acid YOGA is a fan forum for Yoga Lin who found his fame from One Million Dollar in particular as the champion of Season One. The study of this forum lays on the membership—at least most of the active participators are over 20 years old (in fact, the thirty-something occupy the major part) and some of them are even well-educated (which means at least bachelor degree—a period of age which is rarely connected with fandom, or stardom, to be specific).
