Emily Bear (born August 30, 2001) is a pianist and composer from Rockford, Illinois.[1].

When Bear was a year old she already could sing lullabies back in perfect pitch. When she was 2 years old, her grandmother recognized her talent at the piano. Bear began to study with Emilio del Rosario at the Music Institute of Chicago. Within 4 years she was enrolled for study of classical music at the Winnetka campus.[2] Besides her extraordinary talent at the piano, Bear started to compose her own music at the age of three. She has already composed more than 120 pieces.[3]For her piece Northern Lights she won the ASCAP Foundation Morton Gould Young Composer Award for composers under 18 years of age.[4] She also won the Rockford Area Music Industry Award (RAMI).[5]

Bear has made five appearances on The Ellen DeGeneres Show,[6][7] played at the White House for President Bush when she was 6,[4] and played a complete Mozart concerto from memory with the Champaign-Urbana Symphony Orchestra.[8]
