Education Seminar: Nurturing Brilliance in the Midst of Mediocrity

Sunday 5/3/2015 10-11:30 AM. Registration room B
Our society does not always recognize nor appreciate brilliance in children. Our school system generally caters to “average” students and fails to understand the needs of high achieving students. Often, very bright and talented children are ridiculed by their peers who see them as “different.” Today’s session will help parents understand the needs of children who demonstrate exceptional abilities. Join mom, educator and author Dr. Janine Walker Caffrey to learn:

1. How to ensure your child’s educational needs are being met at school,
2. How to deal with bullying by other students and even teachers,
3. How to select just the right college to provide for the best possible future,
4. How to encourage high achievement while still allowing your child to enjoy childhood.

This will be an informative and interactive session. Dr. Caffrey’s books, Drive: 9 Ways to Motivate Your Kids to Achieve and Nurturing Brilliance: Discovering and Developing Your Child’s Gifts will be available for purchase following the session. Cash and checks only will be accepted (no credit cards).

Janine Walker Caffrey is an educator, advocate, author and speaker dedicated to improving educational opportunities for all. She taught in public schools for over a decade in the areas of special education, English for speakers of other languages and physics. Janine enjoys writing, and has published two parenting books – Drive: 9 Ways to Motivate Your Kids to Achieve and Nurturing Brilliance: Discovering and Developing Your Child’s Gifts. She has developed a parenting strategy called “Pathfinder Parenting” and loves to share this message with parents through video, television, radio, and speaking engagements. You can learn more about Dr. Caffrey at her website: JanineWalkerCaffrey.com.

《京昆会》专题讲座与演出

昆曲与京剧都是中国文化的瑰宝。华美协进会将于五月二日举办《京昆会》专题讲座，马少良、翁佳慧暨罗苏菲将于五月九日假座亨特学院Kaye Playhouse表演昆曲和京剧传统曲目。详情请参阅Flyer。

Kunqu and its most prominent descendant, the Beijing opera, are the unique classical Chinese theaters ablaze with a fusion of poetry, singing, dancing and acting, both of which have reigned as the predominant theatrical genres from the 16th century down to the 20th century, during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Like Shakespeare’s sonnets, Caravaggio’s paintings, Handel’s music: all true beauties that must endure the test of time, these two Chinese dramatic and musical genres still look and sound so fresh that they remain today as the towering and representative classical theaters of China （Ben Wang）. Please see the flyer for lecture and show information.

OCA Rising Star Concert (Sun 5/3)

The 8th Annual Rising Stars Concert with the Asian American Heritage theme will be on this coming Sunday (5/3) from 2-4pm at Chappaqua Library. It is organized by OCA-WHV to encourage Asian American students to play musical instruments from the classical western to traditional Asian forms and promote the Chinese traditional music and culture. For this particular concert, we have invited two special guest performers:

Wang Guowei, a master musician on the erhu (Chinese 2-string fiddle) and composer who studied at the Shanghai Conservatory and was formerly soloist and concertmaster of the Shanghai Traditional Orchestra. As solo artist, Wang Guowei has performed with numerous ensembles and artists including the Shanghai Quartet, Amelia Piano Trio, Da Camera of Houston and cellist Yo-Yo Ma. He is conductor of the Music From China Youth Orchestra and has taught erhu and Chinese orchestra at many major U.S. universities.

Ming Fong, a pianist, chamber musician and concerto performer who has performed in concerts extensively both in the U.S. and aboard. He studied at Beijing Central Conservatory, Manhattan School of Music and Rice University, and won numerous piano competitions and awards. In 2004, he founded the Beijing International Music Festival and Academy (www.bimfa.org) bringing together established performing artists and renowned pedagogues from around the world to promote “Cultural Harmony Through Music” for the benefit of the next generation of young musician.
