I haven’t had time to stop and absorb my Oscars appearance, as I had to jump directly into another show in NYC that I absolutely love doing yearly. ā € ā € I can’t adequately describe my OSCARS experience. It was too magical to put into words. Truly living dreams out loud!ā € ā € I only hope my appearance in my role will, or has already, inspired some young person to pursue whatever they’re passionate about. Even if it’s not music! ā € ā € Don’t ever stop! In your passion, or life in general. Be a lighthouse. Help light someone’s path to their destiny. ā € ā € Life is a gift. Share yours with the world. and, leave it better place than you found it. I’m grateful to all who did that for me! šŸ™šŸ¾ M~ #legacy 05 Mar 2025 For all whom this may inspire. . . #carousels #inspiration #selfloveā¤ļø #selfcarejourney #motivation 10 Nov 2026 Was sad to hear of Dolly’s passing. I met her many years ago at a 4th of July TV special we did in D.C. I was honored to work with her more over the years. She was always really sweet and personable to me whenever we saw each other. Dolly was an extraordinary singer and songwriter. But, not enough is said about what a great musician she was. Something, I’d bring up to her that she really appreciated. . If you believe in angels, you have to believe Dolly was the epitome of one. She did so much good in the world while she was here. She will be missed and I will always love her! Rest well, you beautiful soul! M~ #dollyparton 26 Aug 2026 Wow! Woke up to another Emmy nomination today! It’s my 2nd one in two consecutive years of leading the Oscars, and my 4th overall. I’m grateful to the entire team (executive producers, musicians, arrangers, audio, the Academy and all the artisans who make this show possible! It’s truly a collaborative effort!) Even in my wildest dreams as a kid growing up on the south side of Chicago, even though I worked extremely hard at the craft, did I ever believe any of this would happen. I just wanted to play music and be good at it! 😊 My blessed life. Gratitude šŸ™šŸ¾ 08 Jul 2026 So, this happened today! My 2nd time arranging the anthem for a world event. First was for President Joe Biden’s inauguration. My blessed life! šŸ™šŸ¾Chapters keep getting added!

Now, for the first time, I’m sharing the lessons behind those moments. ā€˜Modern Maestro’ is the book I’ve spent a lifetime writing. The stories. The lessons. The principles. It’s about leadership, preparation, excellence under pressure, and what it really takes to perform at the highest level—in music, business, and life. I have a big goal: to make Modern Maestro a bestseller! That means reaching 5,000 copies sold, and I’d love for you to be part of that journey. If my work has ever inspired you, please pre-order your copy today. We can do this together. Let’s make history. LINK IN BIOā—ļøavailable everywhere books are sold! AUDIO Book coming too! 😊 #ModernMaestro #MusicMastery #Leadership #MusicBusiness #MichaelBearden 01 Jun 2026 I like to set intentions in my life and work. I set intentions for my orchestra for the 97th and this year’s 98th Oscars. Every musician on that stage bought into my philosophy and purpose of music. Basically to move souls. My favorite saying. I’ve also been blessed to work with the greatest artists in history. Too many to list here. The one icon I wanted to work with but hadn’t was Barbra Streisand. So, I set an intention last year that it would happen within a year. That intention manifested on the Oscars stage in front of a billion viewers last night! Grateful!šŸ™šŸ¾ M~ #livingmydreams #oscars #intentions 16 Mar 2026 We’re finally here—game day. The 98th Academy Awards have set the anticipation over who will take home the coveted Oscar at a fever pitch. One of the more underrated aspects of the evening, of course, is the music. Helmed by the renowned Michael Bearden for the second year in a row. Bearden, a Primetime Emmy-nominated keyboardist, arranger, conductor, and composer, spoke with ESSENCE about all things music, specifically as it pertains to the Oscars. ā€œThe thing that excites me most is when we actually start, because all of this preparation is one thing. People think you get a lot of rehearsal for that. It’s a lot of moving parts to the show, so that we don’t get to rehearse much. So you have to know what you’re doing.Ā ā€œ Read more of our exclusive at ESSENCE.com. 15 Mar 2026 Prepare to be amazedšŸ˜šŸŽ¼āœØ the best musicians in the world led by Emmy nominated Musical Director Michael Bearden gave us a glimpse at what they are working on for the Oscars🌟 tune in to GMA for more! #oscars #orchestra #michaelbearden @theacademy 12 Mar 2026 In countless interviews during my 40 plus years of rising up in this industry, I found @donlemonofficial to be one of the most thorough and professional! Tough l! But, fair. Prepared! But, able to pivot away from his notes when necessary. What is happening to Don (and all journalists just doing their jobs) should be a wake up call for ALL! Democracy is not a spectator sport! Be loud!šŸ—£ļø M~ 30 Jan 2026 Today marks another solar return of my birth! ā™ļøšŸŽ‰ I’m Grateful for many things. But, mostly I’m grateful for Life! Thank you to anyone who’s followed me. Hopefully you’ve been inspired. It’s never the destination, it’s always about the journey for me. Still going. Still rising! šŸ™ŒšŸ¾ M~ #birthday #saggseasonā™ļø šŸ“ø @milesbittonphoto 19 Dec 2025 The blessing that is my life. Living dreams out loud. Hopefully inspiring others to live theirs too!
