welcome on this forum. I wish you here comfortable browsing and reading of posts about our piano angel Emily. I believe everyone of you finds here something what tickles your heart or soul. Enjoy Emily's photos, music, videos and achievements with us.
There is one article published before Emily's "Kohl’s Children’s Museum" event. One its part attracted my attention more. ;D
... Before a performance, Emily always practices, puts on her Strawberry Lip Smacker and bounces around a bit with excitement. "Then she gets out there and she’s just focused," says Emily’s mother, Andrea. ...
Nice.
-------------------- And I also want to pull out one part from this article which is a bit old and probably all of you know and read it, but I like it very much and I am really glad that Emily has so great parents.
.... A responsibility because mom Andrea says fame is not the priority for this family, happiness, values, hard work ethic. Those are number one.
"She's a kid, first and foremost, and her music seems to flow out of her, and we want to keep that fun and normal. She'll be an adult a lot longer than she'll be a kid," says Andrea Bear. .....
This post is mainly for all having problems with English understanding like me . I think I don't have to introduce this video: ;D I am always glad when I can understand all what was said and thanks to this page I can now. Thanks.
(now it has 6 132 614 views) How many 6-year-olds can say they performed at the White House? Emily Bear can make that claim. The little girl from Rockford, Illinois, was born to play the piano. And she writes much of her own music. So maybe, just maybe, we've found the next Mozart. This is the story of a little girl who was born with a gift. And she opened that gift early. -This comes out to me…this comes out. -Where does it come from? -I don't know. Probably in my… -In your…? -…heart. You could call her a piano prodigy, though the "P word" is never used in the Bear home. This is all unknown territory for all of us. I've heard about kids like this. I never thought I'd have one! Her siblings, 12-year-old Benjie, and 7-year-old Lauren, are also talented musicians. My brother plays electric and acoustic guitar, my sister plays the harp and piano, and I only play the piano. But I would like to play the flute. Emily was "discovered" four years ago by her grandmothers – one of them, a concert pianist… …who's made a career of teaching musically gifted children like Emily. I just love music. It's my passion. Four years ago, Emily's mom and dad took a trip, and left Grandma in charge. She heard someone playing piano and thought it was the eldest child. I was overwhelmed. It was the baby, who was 2 years old and 1 month, playing a C-scale, with three fingers. -Play your scale, Emmy. -Grandma Murrow immediately contacted the prestigious Julliard School of Music in New York. He said there's only one person in the country, his name is Emilio Del Rosario, he teaches at the Music Institute of Chicago. With instruction from Del Rosario and many generous mentors… …including Mary Sauer, the Chicago Symphony's principal keyboardist, Emily has blossomed. They're practicing Mozart's Concerto No. 23 that Emily will play next March with the Rockford Symphony Orchestra. What she does in her music in all the styles that she plays in, she is speaking directly from inside of her……which is why jazz is so comfortable for her. Yet her favorite song is not Jazz or Mozart, but one she wrote herself for Mr. D, her loving piano teacher, who is now ill. -What are you gonna be when you grow up? -Composer. I like Mozart because he's kinda like me, and I'm kinda like him. Like her playing, Emily's composing pours from her heart. It's her patience with fumble-fingered adults like me she has to work on. With keyboard chops that would be the envy of most adults, it's easy to forget Emily is still a child. -But this one is my favorite. Do you know why? -Why? -I got it at the White House. -What is your hope for her? -To be happy. Seriously, to have good values, to be at peace in her heart. To be a really good grown-up. -But until then, the one thing Emily wants you to know… -Actually, I'm just a normal kid that plays piano. And most…I like inspiring kids. -Oh, wow. -Wow. Emily will play at Ravinia again in September. She played there last summer at the age of 5. We've compiled a number of Emily's recent performances on our website, along with her latest CD. -You can check out wgntv.com. Allison, she is such a joy to listen to. -You know what, Steve? You're right. I'm in love.
I only wanted to update some date of one future Emily's event. I have to correct one bad date of "28th Annual Young Steinway Concert" to November 1, 2009. You can find information about it on Emily's website and also on this page:
Emily Bear, piano eight years old, Emily Bear began her piano studies with Emilio del Rosario at age four. She currently studies piano with Mary Sauer of the Chicago Symphony and The New Music School. Additional mentors include Yoheved Kaplinsky, head of the Juilliard piano department, and jazz teacher Alan Swain. Emily is equally comfortable playing classical, jazz, and her own compositions. Emily made her solo debut at the Ravinia Music Festival at the age of five, and was the youngest performer in Ravinia history. She performed at the White House in 2008 and appeared three times on The Ellen Degeneres Show, playing original songs on each appearance. She performed Mozart’s Piano Concerto K. 488 with the Rockford Symphony Orchestra and the Champaign-Urbana Symphony last spring, and has appeared with the Orlando Symphony Orchestra. Emily has released two CDs and has been featured on numerous television news stories. She is home-schooled and loves ballet (and all dance) and sports.
some data are not very actual
------------------
I am a bit confused about information on Emily's facebook page where one event (Rockford Symphony Orchestra) is written with date Sunday, March 28, 2010. So I suppose it is mistake. It was at that date this year.
I was very happy when I saw those new Emily's pictures on her facebook page we posted also here on forum but I noticed just yesterday that there is also written there another new Emily's upcoming performance:
Noche de Ninos Gala May 8, 2010, Beverly Hilton, Los Angeles, CA
it is difficult for me to start this post because nobody likes bad news. And I was thinking long time whether post it on this forum or not, but I think some forum members will know that man from Emily's photos and her talk on Ellen show so it should be mentioned here.
Max H. Reicher Judge Max H. Reicher, 102 years of age, of Chamberlain St., New Britain, died Monday, September 28, 2009. Born in New Britain, he graduated from New Britain High School in ... more
I would like to live to see so nice age to have so much time to enjoy Emily's music.

PS: Emily if your heart is too sorrowful, just look at the sky, close your eyes and imagine that he is looking and smiling at you and looking forward to hear your new beautiful music.
This video is not new but I don't remember that this video would be posted on this forum. Thanks for posting it. I am glad you posted it because there is one photo inside I also don't remember at all. So little Emily, amazing, ;D
I was again walking on Internet and found two videos with very terrible quality so I am helpless to determine which Emily's event it is. Videos are in next links:
There were some pictures uploaded to Emily's facebook of Emily in Aspen
these three are great
don
Yes Don,
they are, they really are. I love pink colour so you probably know which one is my most favourite. Just one comment to that picture:
"where are all flowers from that grass field? In Emily's hand though." ;D
I was also thinking what is missing on Emily on this picture:
Then I realised that Emily's hear I was always used to see all beautiful Emily's hear on her performances and here you can see only small part of them. ;D ;D
And there are also new photos there from Noche de Ninos event.
Isn't it incredible: Emily alone and so many reporters, cameramans and photographers.
Hi all . I am 13 , from Singapore and i came across Emily on a friend's blog . One of my friends , xj , who is also a member of this forum , is also a fan of Emily . Both of us would dicuss about Emily and try to play her songs by ear on the piano in school . The first video i watched about Emily is the WGN video . I was inspired by her not just to play the piano , but also to help others as well . A few months ago i would not have cared about anything on music and prodigies , but Emily inspired me . I hope Emily would continue to compose more songs and i really do wish her sheet music book and 4th CD would come out as soon as possible . I am dying for more of her songs and hope that i would get to hear all her 180 ++ songs some day . Life is boring without Emily 's music . ;D
Hi iloveemilybear,
It is nice to have here also "representatives" of very young age "category" and read their comments about Emily and her music. Thanks. I would also like to hear all her compositions she has composed so far. It is a pity that America is so far. So much I would like to see Emily in person but not possible now. Maybe I should start to save my money. ;D ;D
I am glad you have joined this forum. I believe you will have a great time here. I am also glad that Laura already posted her comments about Emily and her music. And I also love "journey to my heart". And don't worry about your English. My English is also not very good. And so far it looks that other members survived that. ;D

eulenspiegel2: most things have some delay because of the custom service...and very likely Emily and Abigail did not pay for speed shifting/transport...

Ursula: Unfortunately I can't read the German forum. Sigh. Too bad they haven't said anything. You'd think their lawyers would come out with a statement at the least. And they keep posting on social media like everything is normal.

Ursula: Also why is that other forum in German. Why not English?
Sept 7, 2022 23:15:55 GMT -6
eulenspiegel2: it is a German forum...about German pop singer... you may be surprised...but the USA is not the center of the world - it is like US people coming to Europe wondering why not signs in English ..

ursus: Ursula, Google Translate works very well if you translate from German into English and you just need to understand the meaning of what was written. It does still require an understanding of German if you want to use it to post in that language.

ursus: IIRC B&B's lawyers have until 9/23 to respond to the lawsuit. It would not make sense for them to make a public statement before that. B&B themselves have undoubtedly been instructed not to say anything either. That makes sense to me.

mastersgttom: For the benefit of all the members and the guests who visit this site be advised that there is a You Tube video out there of Barlow and Bear doing a live stream. The video was posted by Epic Wonderland. Where she got it I have no clue.
Mar 8, 2024 12:53:33 GMT -6
mastersgttom: The video of the live stream cannot be found on any of their social media platforms. At least from any of my feeble attempts. The video is a bit hard to watch because the audio is totally out of sync with the video.
Mar 8, 2024 12:58:25 GMT -6
mastersgttom: What I got out of the video was that it had nothing to do with Moana. They were very mum about their work on that movie. Bling Ring came up in some of the comments. A bit odd that they have a live stream out there, writing music, and not making it public.

mastersgttom: Wow! I just noticed that it has been a little over a year since anyone has posted anything in this Shoutbox. Eluenspiegel was the last one. I messaged him this discovery a week ago but haven't heard back. He used to be the most active member here.
