Answers
Answer :
1. In the chapter 'The Sound Of Music Part I,' Evelyn auditioned for the Royal Academy of Music at the age of sixteen and scored one of the highest marks in the history of the music academy. She then gradually stopped performing in the orchestra.
Evelyn then performed trough solo performances and had captured many awards by the end of her course at the academy.
2. Evelyn could understand and speak English with Scottish intonation, French, and basic Japanese.
This was a big achievement for her because she had become severely hearing impaired when she was eleven years old. Nobody knows how she learnt French and Japanese.
3. Evelyn learnt to open her mind and body to the sounds and vibrations of music. According to Evelyn, music pours in through every part of her body. It tingled in her skin, her cheekbones and even in her hair. When she played the xylophone, she could sense the music passing up the stick into her fingers. When Evelyn leaned against the drums, she could feel the vibrations flowing into her body. She would remove her shoes on wooden platforms to allow the vibrations to pass through her bare feet.
4. Evelyn won the Royal Philharmonic Society’s prestigious Soloist of the Year Award in 1991.
Master percussionist James Blades says about Evelyn Glennie, "God may have taken her hearing but he has given her back something extraordinary. What we hear, she feels — far more deeply than any of us. That is why she expresses music so beautifully."
