Theme: Exploring Change

Speakers will talk about education, communication, lifestyle, and the arts. These talks are about changing the attitude and perspective of students in the face of daily struggles and challenges, or changing aspects of their lifestyles. The talks will inspire students to look beyond the typical “school, homework, sleep” cycle that is a problem at our school. This idea of “change” will hopefully shows students about the many other aspects of life, change their perspective on how to approach problems, or inspire them to change something in their lives.

Jeff Hao

Inventor of the Hao Staff

At age of 40, Jeff, the oil company executive, tried to learn to play a small song on the Casio keyboard that he bought for his children. He quickly went on to play many original works of Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin, Elton John, Billy Joe, John Lennon, and Jay Chou … all because he built a notation system that anyone can read immediately. The patented Hao Staff (named after him and referenced against the traditional Grand Staff music notation) is now already used by thousands of people. That number is expected to grow into tens of millions in the near future, and hopefully, will teach people around the world how to play the piano in a matter of minutes.
