(Part I - Evelyn Glennie Listens to Sound without Hearing It)
By Deborah Cowley








Let's have a look at the title of the chapter. What could it mean?
 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 this quotation -

    “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.

Key points:


  • This means  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 .
  • What are percussion instruments?
  •  Musical instruments played by striking with the hand or with a stick or beater, or by shaking, including drums, cymbals, xylophones, gongs, bells, and rattles.
  •  She is  a person who fought against a physical disability and made her life a success 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.
