“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（酷愛）for music grew. But I also began to lose my   3 . Doctors told me that the nerve damage(神經(jīng)損傷) 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（音調(diào)高低）by the vibrations（振動）I feel through my body and through my imagination. My sound world exists by making use of almost every   7 that I have.”

“I’ve been a soloist for more than ten years. 10  the doctor thought I was totally deaf, it didn’t mean that my passion couldn’t be realized. I would encourage people not to allow themselves to be limited by others. Follow your passion; follow your heart. They will lead you to the place you want to go.”
