Evelyn Glennie was the first lady of solo percussion in Scotland. In an interview, she talked about how she became a percussion soloist(打擊樂器獨奏演員)in spite of deafness.
“Early on I decided not to allow the   1  of others to stop me from becoming a musician. I grew up on a farm in northeast Scotland and began   2  piano lessons when I was eight. The older I got, the more my passion(酷愛)for music grew. But I also began to lose my   3 . Doctors told me that the nerve damage(神經(jīng)損傷) was the  4  and by age twelve, I was completely deaf. But my love for music never left me.”
“My   5  was to become a percussion soloist, even though there were none at that time. To perform, I learned to ‘hear’ music differently from others. I play in my stocking feet and can  6  the pitch of a note(音調高低)by the vibrations(振動)I feel through my body and through my imagination. My sound world exists by making use of almost every   7 that I have.”
“I decided to be a musician even though I was deaf, and applied to the famous Royal Academy of Music in London. No other deaf student had   8  this before and some teachers disagreed with me. Because of my performance, I finally entered the academy and went on to  9  with the academy’s highest honors a few years later.”
“I’ve been a soloist for more than ten years. 10  the doctor thought I was totally deaf, it didn’t mean that my passion couldn’t be realized. I would encourage people not to allow themselves to be limited by others. Follow your passion; follow your heart. They will lead you to the place you want to go.”
