Introduction
Now let us discuss the title. The title itself is very interesting. Here the author says Evelyn Glennie listens to sound without hearing it. Now we all wonder, we are confused. How can you listen to sound when you can’t hear? So, this is something we will discover – that how Evelyn Glennie was able to listen to sound although she could not hear.
Now before we proceed with the chapter, lets discuss -
“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.”
Someone has commented this about Evelyn. He says that although god took away her hearing power, she was impaired, but he gave her an extraordinary thing and that was the sense of feeling. She could feel very deeply. Far more deeply than the normal people. And that is why she was able to express music so beautifully, so well. She is a well-known multi- percussionist. She plays different percussion instrument like xylophone, drums.
Read the following account of a person who fought against aphysical disability and made her life a success story.
From here we come to know the theme of the story and the message we get from the story. The story of Evelyn Glennie is a motivational story, it inspires all of us to overcome our physical disabilities and achieve our dreams and goals just like Evelyn did.

Lesson and Explanation
RUSH hour crowds jostle for position on the underground train platform. A slight girl, looking younger than her seventeen years, was nervous yet excited as she felt the vibrations of the approaching train.
jostle: push roughly
slight: small and thin
The scene is of the train platform- it is underground and there is a huge rush at the platform, people are pushing each other to get way. This is the train that will take Evelyn to London. She is going to London to learn music as she has got admission in the Royal Academy of Music. Right now, Evelyn is in Scotland. So that is why Evelyn is nervous because she is leaving Scotland for London. And she is excited also because she is doing something that she always dreamt of. She is going to the Royal Academy of Music to learn music.
Evelyn is seventeen years of age. She is a teenager and she is fresh from a Scottish farm. As Evelyn is from Scotland which has more of farms and country side, so, she has not seen fast life.
As Evelyn lost her sense of hearing in phases, It was a gradual process. In the beginning when she could hear partially, she manage to hide this disability from her friends and teachers.
When Evelyn was eleven years old her marks has started deteriorating.
The doctor advised Evelyn’s parents that they should get hearing aids for her. (Hearing aids is an equipment that is fitted into your ear and it helps a person to hear to some extent.)He also suggested that Evelyn should be sent to school for the deaf Children.
When Evelyn discovered that she could not hear and that she would be sent to a school for deaf children, that she was not as good as normal children, her world became colourless. It turned black.
This shows Evelyn had determination. Although Evelyn got such a shocking news still she was determined and she did not want to give up.
As Evelyn was passionate about music, this news also did not break her. She was determined to live life like normal people and follow her interest in music.When Evelyn saw a girl playing the Xylophone, she wanted to play it too.
Orchestra is a group of people who are playing different musical instruments and generally, the percussion instruments like the drums and the Xylophone are placed at the backend of the orchestra or they are placed at the side but as Evelyn performs solo, she gives special performances with these percussion instruments, the percussion instruments have come in front of the orchestra.
Evelyn’s story is an inspiration to those people who are physically disabled.They feel that if Evelyn can achieve her dreams even they can. And Evelyn has given a lot of pleasure to her audience by playing such good music.
