Listen: How Evelyn Glennie, a Deaf Girl, Changed Percussion

Evelyn Glennie played the piano by ear at age eight and the clarinet by age 10. When she lost her hearing, she learned to feel music through her body. Famous for playing percussion barefoot so she can best experience the notes, Ms. Glennie developed a new way to listen.
