Answer:
Yes I think Evelyn was a girl of determination because when she was eleven she became deaf, but she did not give up. she was determined to lead a normal and pursue her interest in music. Ron Forbes, a percussionist spotted her potential. Initially, she was encouraged by percussionist Ron Forbes, who tuned two drums to different notes and asked her to sense the sound without using her ears. She realized that she could feel the higher drum from the waist up and the lower drum from the waist down. This exercise helped Evelyn to open up her mind and body to sounds and vibrations. Evelyn explains that when she plays the xylophone, she senses the sound flowing up the stick and into her fingertips. She leans against the drums, stands barefoot on a wooden platform so that she can feel the vibrations. She says how her whole body including her hair is sensitive to her music and its resonances.
hope it helps...
