Evelyn Glennie: Shows How to Listen

What will you remember about her performance? Be specific about the experience.
Just the fact that she was able to play music even though she was death. And it helped me more because you can really do anything you want if you just believe in yourself. That's what Evelyn Glennie did even when the school told her that she can't be in there because she is death, but the she proved them wrong.

Describe what it felt like listening to her play. What factors helped create this moment? You can describe any of the times that she played on either instrument (the Snare drum or Marimba).
It was interesting because at first i didn't know that she was death and that fact that she was made it even more interesting. Her music was really peaceful, and how she used some many part of her body that people usually don't use made it more interesting.

What elements of her performance influenced what the audience heard?
Like I was saying on the answer before how she was playing music with different parts of her body. And then when she told the audience to clap they all clapped with there hands and she pointed that out, but there some many other ways you can clap and make music. And how she was explain all of those.

What did she mean by, "Each person experiences music in their own way"? Think about how you experience music and why everyone doesn't enjoy listening to the same music.
I think what she meant by "Each person experiences music in their own way?", is that different people have different taste in music and there influenced by that and also if you grow up to rock music your most likely to like rock music when you older. Something else that i thought she meant was that people find different ways to play music. Some people hear music, play music, write music, and all those people experience different things with those experiences.
