Evelyn Glennie was the first lady of solo percussion in Scotland. In an interview, she talked about how she became a percussion soloist（打击乐器独奏演员）in spite of deafness.
“Early on I decided not to allow the   1  of others to stop me from becoming a musician. I grew up on a farm in northeast Scotland and began   2  piano lessons when I was eight. The older I got, the more my passion（酷爱）for music grew. But I also began to lose my   3 . Doctors told me that the nerve damage(神经损伤) was the 4 and by age twelve, I was completely deaf. But my love for music never left me.”
“My   5  was to become a percussion soloist, even though there were none at that time. To perform, I learned to ‘hear’ music differently from others. I play in my stocking feet and can 6 the pitch of a note（音调高低）by the vibrations（振动）I feel through my body and through my imagination. My sound world exists by making use of almost every   7 that I have.”
“I decided to be a musician even though I was deaf, and applied to the famous Royal Academy of Music in London. No other deaf student had   8  this before and some teachers disagreed with me.
