Emma Fossum is the founder of Miles for Music, a nonprofit organization dedicated to classical music education, building self-confidence, and cultivating creativity in children. Her motto, "When words fail, music speaks for me," reflects her passion for giving back to the community through her talents. Leveraging her experience as a classically trained pianist since age 4, Emma connects with kids to inspire them to use music for education and personal growth. In addition to piano performances, she reads kids her two self-published books: children’s book Confident Cupcake™ and poetry book Poetic Expression. These activities encourage children to express themselves creatively and discover lifelong interests. Since last summer, Emma has seen over 12,700 students to date with Miles for Music, as well as being sponsored by Casio Music Gears, and partnering with DFW philanthropist Maestro Bruno DFW Piano Gallery.
