summary of the chapter the sound of music Evelyn Glennie
Answers
Explanation:
Evelyn Glennie was the most sought after musician internationally because she could play several instruments with perfection. She was deaf, yet she achieved such a status. She learnt to listen with her body rather than ears as she felt the sound. She discovered her hearing problem when she was eleven years old. She loved music and wanted to pursue a career in this field but her teachers used to discourage her. Her talent was recognised by Ron Forbes who supported her. He motivated her to sense the music in some other way.This was a turning point in Evelyn's life as she started to recognise sounds and vibrations through her body. She mastered the art of interpreting vibrations of sound.
She joined the prestigious Royal Academy of Music and made a history by scoring unachievable marks. Her hard work and determination made her reach on the top despite all odds. She was presented Soloist of the year award by the Royal Philharmonic society in 1991. She used to perform for free in the hospitals, prisons and inspired many handicapped children.
