Answer

  • The percussionist Ron Forbes spotted that though Evelyn was profoundly deaf she had potential to play a musical instrument.
  • He tuned two large drums to different notes and then urged her to not listen through her ears but to sense the rhythm some other way.
  • Soon she realized that she could sense certain notes in different parts of her body.
  • She could feel the higher drum from the waist up and the lower one from waist down.
  • She learnt to open her mind and body to the sounds and vibrations.
  • Sheer determination and hard work helped her become a master of music.
