Evelyn Glennie

What i will remember most about Evelyn Glennie's performance is that she has lost her ability to hear and yet she is still able to play beautiful music.

I really enjoyed listening to Evelyn Glennie play the Marimba. She played it in a very soothing way that relaxes you.

I really think that each person experiences music in their own way by what they like to hear. It all depends on what you find soothing or pleasurable to hear. For example some people like rap, reggae or maybe hip pop but sometimes music can be manifested by your own life experiences. Rock represents some of my past life experiences and i can actually see myself in the lyrics so it all depends on what you find comfortable and recognizable to the ear.
