I normally don't wonder to many this about Emily, I prefer to just sit back and listen to her wonderful music, but this song got me wondering. Now I know she learned this song from her grandmother she said so on Ellen, but how did she go about learning it, the song seems complicated to me and I was wondering about the learning processes, did she use sheet music or just listen to her grandmother play it till she was able to perform it, either way I would guess Emily picked it up fast and practiced alot till she had it right.
I guess I don't expect and answer to my question, so maybe I'll just ask her the next time I see her perform...till them I'll just sit back and listen to her play it.

Petee Hi Petee, I didn't ask Emily directly but Andrea told me there was a rule in the Bear household, that if you can't read the sheet music for the song you can't play it, so I gather Emily had the sheet music for Bumble Boogie and with that and direction from her grandmother she learned the song...and I just love it...also Andrea told me Emily is learning "Flight of the Bumble Bee" which is different than Bumble Boogie and she will use it in the same way she uses Over the Rainbow...can't wait to hear her. don

AAH<, Don, you know the Bear family??? I don't really know the Bear family, I have meet the Bear family and I have found them very charming each in there own way. Andrea, Emily's mother I have spoken with the most, she is a very kind and sweet lady who will go out of her way to make fans feel comfortable around Emily, at the moment she is managing Emily's career and her family's household, which is quite a task considering both of her other children , Benji and Lauren are fine musicians themselves. So if you ever get a chance to watch Emily perform live, which is a treat in it's self, introduce yourself to Andrea, tell her your a member of Emily's forum and you will see for yourself what a fine lady she really is...oh and introduce yourself to Emily also...she seems to like talking with fans...Emily is truly a very special young lady. don

I met Emily's mom and dad in Italy and I can confirm what Don said. Whatever I asked Andrea (Emily's mom) she kindly helped me. And Emily as well. Ach, Italy, beautiful Italy, unforgettable Italy.
