How to listen to music.


I came across this video and it struck me as so meaningful in so many ways. What do you think?

It is more than just her teachers zkidd. She has a nervous system that is naturally wired for percussion. The vast majority of us could never play like that deaf or not. We will never understand how she perceives sound because we are not deaf. When you lose a sense at a young age the part of your nervous system that was supposed to be used the perceive that sense gets transferred to the remaining senses heightening them. Our nervous systems are that flexible. People who are blind from childhood have a heightened sense of hearing. Evelyn has a heightened sense of feeling. We also feel music, we just can't divide it into notes like she can.
I think I would have to be deaf to really understand where this wonderful musician is coming from. Maybe in another 10 years.
