Evelyn Glennie


Dame Evelyn Glennie


I spotted this feature in the Sunday Observer today.  I like what Glennie  says about knowing when she had reached her work limit and no longer gave into the temptation of saying "yes" to everything for the experience.

I also like her idea about being patient when you learn a new piece of music "It takes time to seep into the cells of your body".  I think this is the same when making a drawing or painting, or learning anything really.  She also remarks that when we lived in caves, "people used their whole bodies to listen, bringing all their senses together".
