How did Ron Forbes encourage Evelyn Glennie to become a great percussionist?
▶As Evelyn Glennie gradually started to loose her sense of hearing she was advised that she should be fitted with hearing aids and should be sent to a school for the deaf.
▶She was quite sad to hear this advice and everything suddenly looked black for her.
▶But she was not going to give up.
▶She was determined to lead a normal life and pursue her interest in music.
▶One day when she noticed a girl playing a xylophone then she decided that she wanted to play too.
▶Most of the teachers discouraged her, but percussionist Ron Forbes spotted her potential.
▶He began by tuning two large drums to different notes.
▶" Don't listen through your ears," he would say, "try to sense it some other way."
▶Suddenly Evelyn ealised that she could feel the higher drum from the waist up and the lower one from the waist down.
▶When Forbes repeated the exercise soon Evelyn discovered that she could sense certain notes in different parts of the body.
▶This great trust on Evelyn, and the spotting of potential in her by Ron Forbes encouraged Evelyn Glennie to become a great percussionist.
