Evelyn Glennie - the percussionist who plays with bare feet

Before I tell you the story about Evelyn Glennie, let's hear her play first.


Don't you think she's amazing? But let me tell you a secret of Evelyn Glennie - she has been deaf since the age of 12. However, this disability has not hindered her in persuing a career in music. She always plays bare feet so that she can feel the music. To her, if you can feel the music in the body, anything can be an instrument! Evelyn Glennie has become a very successful percussionist and an inspiration to many. Here's another appearance she has made in Sesame Street.
