She's only 13 years old, but she is already a world famous pianist and composer. Emily Bear of Rockford, Illinois starting fiddling around with a piano when she was just two and that's when the world of music opened up to her.
I was checking out Emily's proboard forums about any reviews of her recent "Rhapsody in Blue" performance in Connecticut. I came upon this video. Wow! She does it again with another on-the-spot song, as if that doesn't surprise us. My opinion is that "Fall Ivy" has great possibilities for an Emily classic. Have to wait and see if she does anything with it.
Love this video, was just telling a friend about your music so was surfing around checking things out. So nice seeing you in person with my daughter years ago, we never got around to a play-date and she is just graduating high school in a few months (boy how time flys). She came down with petite mal seizures for a few years and fell out of music (from headaches) but we will never forget meeting you thanks to our dear cousin father Bill Collins, may your work continue to bring blessings to the world ...
What an inspiration! And talent. Emily Bear and Alma Deutscher - what a pair - and truly wonderful, each in their own individual way. A formal education in music - provides the rules, basis for creating one’s own music- but as they say, “Rules are for the guidance of wise men (and women - of course!) and the obeyance of fools”
"To watcher her play is to watch a master at work: from classical to jazz and everything in between. "Emily goes to a place most of us can never imagine, and the music just _pours_ out." --Ann Nyberg // Perhaps, _therein_ is her precious creative center. Exquisite.
Operation Agatha she has two siblings who also talented in musical. but as her parent said, emily was just different in the level of talents. nurture has nothing to do with amount of talents that one possess
Operation Agatha when i say talent, it means a person's potential. and each person has more talent than others. people born with different IQ, EQ, why not talents? nurture helps in helping one's talent reach to its full extent. but their peak might different.
***** well, only time could tell. she compose a lot in very young age. are you comparing her with mozart in composing classical? well i tell you, she's more interesting in film scoring and jazz. btw, yes, she's like mozart since she also composing in a very young age, and her composition is good.
No way. I turned 13 in 2014, so did she. She's musically talented, I'm musically talented as well. I'm homeschooled, she's homeschooled. It's so amazing in how many things we have in common. Other than the part that she plays piano, and I play clarinet and tenor sax.
Well, at 13 she is making a lot of money. Plays with the greatest musicians in the world, travels to most of the world and plays with world famous performers. That can be said for no one else and is loved by them all.
I especially like her improvisation abilities. But don't underestimate Alma Deutscher. She is also an amazing piano prodigie and has her own style. Both are lovely young laddies.
She obviously has the ability to play her emotions from what she hears and feels. But this can only happen obviously with years of playing, through passion, and honing skills for the love of music and instrument(s), vocals included. What we witness is talent.
I would be frightened to shake hands with her in case I hurt them, and she could not play for a long time or again ! Perhaps that is why every one gives her a hug, as opposed to shaking hands? It would be like cuddling your own (teddy) Bear; and that is not to demean or take the mickey our of her surname. Keep going, your innocence and humbleness about your ability is so refreshing.
"I wanted you to see for yourself what a brilliant musician Emily is. So I asked her to write a song right on the spot." You people don't have a clue. Next time get an interviewer who understands music to do this story.
Because writing music shouldn't be about how quickly someone can do it on the spot (and probably put out something of a lot less quality than when taking time). What good is it worth to know what she can write on the spot? Isn't it much better to write something over months that has allow enough time for the maturing process? Asking to write on the spot is a cheap view of her talent.
Are you a musician? Have you ever heard of "improvisation"? Also, when Mozart was composing, he thought he was taking dictation from God (he talks about that in his letters). Most of the time, he didn't spend ANY time on his compositions -- no re-writes, no erasing, not even a mistake. He would just write it down. It is not unusual for composers to be able to "write on the spot."" Sure, composers can also take months and ruminate and lament and work it over and over, but there are many different ways to make music, and not all of them are how you see the world of music composition. Also, this view that music is only good when it's been through some sort of "maturing process," lacks knowledge of diversity, genres, styles, and who is behind the music (the composer). John Cage wrote a very famous piece called, 4'33" in which he sits at a piano and doesn't play any note at all. The idea is that there music isn't music without someone hearing it and thus arranging it in a meaningful way. From Mozart to Lady GaGa -- what they wrote and how they did it doesn't matter. What matters is how YOU hear it.

This is really cool but you know what's kinda sad tho is that the only prodigies that ever get recognized are the ones that play piano and strings.. I feel like there are plenty brass players that are just as good but never get recognition.
+SCHWEINY POO It's a little late..10 months late..But I believe that is Autumn Leaves. Edit: Actually I just watched another of her videos and It's a piece she wrote, I think it's called "Q"? My mistake. It did sound a little bit like autumn leaves, but I was wrong.
Awesome 20188 of my time but I'm still not sure how I can do this now I and have I sent this to twitter for a my the future and I love your it so much sad to me and thank you for the great love you are the my so mean and thank the god creators for everything I did and it was amazing
her song is very average. to be honest, she needs to go to conservatory and study. and composition is something with born talent not to be nurtured. one of the hardest problem is having originality in the composition instead of productin thousands of generic music. her composition in this video sounds pretty generic and had too many keys that confuse the ears.
I agree. And having everyone who is saying "You don't know what you're talking about", I have been playing piano for 8 years now, and the songs that I play are way better than hers, I'm 12 years old, and I just don't write music. Anyway, to be honest, the songs that she plays sound pretty much like the others (Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, etc.), and a LOT, if not ALL of the songs that she's written have either notes that simply would only go together while playing Jazz or Blues, while playing in a Classical - sounding piece, or minor notes in a song that is mostly in major, or the other way around. Although I think she is a good player and composer, most of her songs just sound generic. If I'm honest with you, I don't think that she's as good as everyone is saying she is. To be honest, she sounds just like any other average player her age that really practices often, say an hour per day, she's only really famous and having people call her a "prodigy" because she could play the entire C Scale when she was at the age of three (which, let's be honest here, most people could do if they wanted to).
Snowy's Pet Shop Okay. So, I do not think that it is okay to say that classical music is disgusting. It's not really okay to devalue opinions, but if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. Why are you even here if you don't like classical music?
Well what about Straw berry flavored Bleach? He clearly told me to kill myself, that wasnt nice. And you just said if you dont have anything nice to say, dont say it at all.
