Emily Bear of Rockford, Illinois, is a piano prodigy who has been playing since the age of two. She can hear a song one time and play it back perfectly. She also composes much of her own music and can play it back just as she first composed it. Her mother now films her as she plays her own compositions so they can be set to music.

In 2011, she became the youngest person ever asked to play at Carnegie Hall. She has also played at the White House and around the world. She is rapidly at Age 12 becoming an international sensation in demand at home and abroad.

Here she is at Age 7 playing one of her original compositions called "Northern Lights", which won the 2008 ASCAP Award for original compositions for people Age 18 and under.



She wants to be a composer like Mozart, to whom she has been compared, when she grows up. If she doesn't become too big a star at piano first, she might just make it.
