Dear Student,

In the lesson 'The Sound of Music', despite being hearing impaired, Evelyn Glennie attained mastery over almost a thousand musical instruments. She learnt to feel different sounds through different parts of her body and became a world renowned percussionist.

Evelyn Glennie was a very brave girl. She learnt to open her body and mind to the sounds and vibrations. She used to feel as if music was flowing through her body. So she joined an orchestra and later the Royal Academy of Music. She did not want to be deprived of the joy of music that made her happy. She later even gave solo performances on stage in many countries and became famous.
