Evelyn Glennie: Shows How to Listen

What struck you?

-What struck me the most was how into it she was. I could tell she really loves music and is into it. And how she still plays the drums even if she lost her hearing.

What did you notice

-I noticed she had different ways of showing sounds on the drums.

What did you enjoy about her performance?

-What I enjoyed about her performance was how she kept on showing what she was talking about on the drums and she showed different sounds on the drums.

What do you remember about her performance? 

-What I remember about her performance was when she was explaining that she lost her hearing at age 12, and now when she plays the drums she can tell a high and low note apart from the vibration the goes through her hands.

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 she was kinda of meaning to say that because of here being death, so she experiences music a different way than a non death person would.

Adriana, Bianca, and I all went to the same Farmers market in Chula Vista, I interviewed a seller there named Ester, and these were her answers to my questions.

• What is your name and your role here at the Farmers market?

My name is Ester, and I sell fresh produce that come from R&L farms that I work for.

• Why do you choose to sell your produce here/support the CSA?

I choose to sell here because it is a well known farmers market, and fresh produce is always better, has no chemicals and it tastes much better.

• When did you first start growing and working for a fresh produce company?

I started growing fresh produce when I started working for R&L Farms which was 21 years ago.

• Do you garden at home? Why or why not?

Yes, I garden at my home, and in a ranch in Fresno.

• What would be your advice to get others to do what you do?

I say everyone to start growing their own fruits and vegetables because for one the fruits and vegetables will taste much better without all the chemicals they put in them, and if you grow your own, you wont have to waste your money buying non fresh fruits and vegetables in your local grocery stores.
