Question
How does Evelyn hear music?
✓
Answer
Evelyn was profoundly deaf due to gradual nerve damage.
However, she was able to sense the musical notes in different parts of her body.
She learnt to open her mind and body to sounds and vibration and did a lot of hard work with determination.
She experienced that music poured in through every part of her body.
It tingled in her skin, her cheekbones and even in her hair.
When she played the xylophone, she could sense the sound passing up the stick into her fingertips.
On leaning against the drums, she used to remove her shoes so that the vibrations could pass through her bare feet and up her legs.
She attended the Royal Academy of Music's three year course and went to become the world's most sought after multi-percussionist with a mastery of some thousand instruments.
