Ans: Evelyn was seventeen years old when she went to the Royal Academy of Music.
2. When was her deafness first noticed? When was it confirmed?
Ans: Evelyn’s mother Isabel noticed something wrong with her daughter at the age of eight, when while waiting to play the piano, Evelyn did not respond to her name being called. Evelyn’s deafness was confirmed at the age of eleven years.
Answer each of these questions in a short paragraph (30-40 words)
1. Who helped her to continue with music? What did he do and say?
Ans: Ron Forbes, a percussionist himself, noticed Evelyn’s talent and helped her continue with music.
He tuned two large drums to different notes and asked Evelyn to try and sense their sound in some other way, rather than try to listen through her ears. He thus made her realise that she could feel the higher drum from the waist up and the lower one from the waist down, and also that she could sense different notes in different parts of her body. Thus Ron Forbes taught her to feel sound by her mind and body rather than by her ears.
2. Name the various places and causes for which Evelyn performs.
Ans: Evelyn performs at regular concerts and often goes on international tours, having a very hectic schedule. She gives high priority to classes for young musicians. Evelyn also gives free concerts in prisons and hospitals. Evelyn is a shining inspiration for the handicapped who are charged with confidence by her perseverance and success.
Answer the question in two or three paragraphs (100-150 words)
1. How does Evelyn hear music?
Ans: Evelyn hears music through the vibrations of each individual instrument, made by it while producing different notes. Different parts of her body sense the different notes and their vibrations. She says that she can feel the music pouring in through every part of her body. It makes her skin, hair and even cheekbones tingle.
Usually while giving performances and during playing, Evelyn stands barefoot on a wooden platform, so that the vibrations can pass through her feet up her legs. When she plays the xylophone she can sense the sound passing up the stick into her fingers. And by leaning against the drums during playing them, Evelyn can feel the resonances flowing into her body. Thus sensing the music through the sensations created by the instruments helps Evelyn ‘hear’ music and play it flawlessly.

Evelyn realised that she could sense certain notes in different parts of her body.
