Evelyn Glennie: How to Listen to Music with Your Whole Body

As always Evelyn Glennie, she´s just extraordinary and amazing, this is determination and a example of life and love for the arts an humanity, thanks for this vid, and I hope that there´ll be more of this...

yup me too =/

Chourmoumoumou, I'm sorry if my comment seemed harsh and, yet, I have become sort of cold in response to hearing the term "god". But I think it's important to hold people accountable for what they say. I think we both agree, imagination is VERY valuable. Yet, I think it's greatest value is in helping us understand truth. Know what I mean? Ok, you weren't trying to convince anyone of anything. But some people take things literally so I wanted to clarify to prevent readers from being mislead.

wow,took you time enough,i was beginning to lose hope...as you said so well,or meant,that imaginary thoughts can provoke marvel and admiration,so whats wrong with that? i wasnt trying to convince anyone of what i beleive in,you shouldnt take things as they seem too quickly,you must be a hardened atheist to lash out like that,but i dont care since you must admire her too...so at least we have that in common...you didnt expect me to not respond,did you? peace

God?? Who's that? Is that a person? Male or female? Is that a thing? What does it look like? Who told you about this God thing?? I agree that love and determination can "do" things but I wouldn't say "god" is the reason for anything. Music can be experienced while love and determination may enhance the musical experience. Yet, saying "god" allows it is an assumption. On the other hand, believing in some things MAY make you more determined or loving, even if those things are imaginary.

I dont know why it ended up here i posted it pages back.

Shes scottish.

Great video ... how can people post videos this long?? I thought YouTube's limit was 10 mins...

Listening to Evelyn Glennie talk about and make sound is inspiring...thanks for posting this.

Skip to 27:30 for the beautiful beautiful part

Brava!!!

I'd love to have footage of the Herbie Hancock Section of this class. Is that available? Thank you

I would love to meet her and get a chance to do some percussion "jamming" with her. I am a drummer/percussionist and I only am able to hear out of one ear. Not the same thing as her total deafness, but I can hope to pick up some helpful tips she may have to give me.

this is why god doesnt destroy the world....to let people like this live their lives and show the rest of us what determination and love can do.

This woman's amazing. I remember learning about her in my primary school.

Incidentally, she provides a light score to Jonathan Miller's, 'Atheism A Rough History Of Disbelief', an excellent trio of documentaries, I advise everyone to check out.
