Dame Evelyn Glennie is possibly the most inspirational percussionist that has influenced my desire to play percussion and teach.
This is the first of many posts that I will dedicate to the life and career of Evelyn Glennie - the world's first successful solo percussionist. What makes Glennie's achievements more spectacular, is that she suffered a childhood illness that left her hearing impaired at the age of eight.
This is a short promotional video sourced from YouTube but also found on her official website, http://www.evelyn.co.uk/
Enjoy :)
