Answer:
Evelyn Glennie was a determined and hardworking girl and her character is quite inspiring. She lost her hearing disability owing to some gradual auditory nerve damage at quite a young age. However, she did not give up. Her passion for music became her driving force and helped her to put aside her disability. Ron Forbes, a percussionist spotted her potential. He asked her not to listen through ears but to try to sense it some other way. She realised she could feel the higher drum from the west up and the lower one from the west down. Ron Forbes repeated the exercise and soon availing discovered that she could send certain notes in different parts of her body and mind to sounds and vibrations. She scored the highest marks in the history of Royal Academy of Music and captured most of the top awards. She became the world’s most sought after multi-percussionist with a mastery of some thousand instruments. She also learnt French and mastered basic Japanese. In 1991 she achieved the Royal Philharmonic Society’s prestigious Soloist of the year Award. She also performs charity shows in prisons and hospitals and gives classes to young musicians.
