Scottish double Grammy winner and percussionist Dame Evelynn Glennie has been profoundly deaf since she was 12 years old. Glennie has had a long career. Glennie often plays barefoot in order to be able to feel the music.
She has often spoken out about not only her own deafness but about deafness in general. Not only did she achieve this as a singer, but as a deaf singer, which is altogether more challenging. She was diagnosed when a child, yet had EDS from birth. Harvey is also one of the artists chosen for the True Colors Showcase All performers have overcome adversity in order to be on stage.
Ein Beitrag geteilt von Mandy Harvey mandyharvey. Another artist in the True Colors video is sign language rapper Marko Vuoriheimo, known professionally as Signmark. He comes from Helsinki, Finland. He was inspired watching MTV growing up and has the honor of being the first deaf artist to sign a contract with Warner Music. Born into a family that is mostly deaf, he stood out because of his early interest in music. Despite opposition from those around him, he began writing his own music.
He founded his group Signmark in , two years after first composing music. He achieved a score of Everything begins with him wearing headphones and feeling the vibrations of bass and midrange sounds. This was the only way to stop me falling behind. I left Keele with a and became a trainee workshop leader at Music and the Deaf. I loved it so much because I was able to inspire deaf children and share with them my passion for music.
It immediately struck me, though, that none of the children I worked with had the same music opportunities that I had, and I wanted to do something to change that. The disciplined process of practising music and playing it differently until I find the desired effect requires patience, decision-making, self-confidence and technical balance.
I can remain visibly calm even though my stomach is full of butterflies. Music gives me strength, it gives me the voice that I need, and I find it empowering. However, even today, music is still widely regarded as an inaccessible activity for deaf people and there are many deaf children who are excluded from music lessons. Music is universal: it bridges communities and enriches lives.
But journalists often fail to grasp what music and deafness is. Most seem to be inclined to talk about singers, such as Mandy Harvey , and feeling vibrations, as the percussionist Evelyn Glennie does. But there are deaf musicians with varying degrees of useful hearing who play musical instruments as well as singing, and compose using music technology. We all access music and perceive it in different ways. I believe that there are many deaf musicians out there, and I do hope they are leaving their own musical mark in the world on their mobile phones, on their social media profiles, in their own private recording studios, on apps and software and on manuscript papers, so that their work can be discovered, critiqued and enjoyed.
With the advancement of technology and the new possibilities of accessing and sharing music online, it is a more liberating time than ever to compose and perform. Music and the Deaf has carried out ground-breaking projects during its year history, including creating the National Deaf Youth Orchestra and Frequalise a music-technology project. Recently, we set up Modulate, which helps to open up opportunities to play musical instruments.
When we asked the children who took part in Modulate if they wanted to carry on playing music, over 80 per cent said yes. We are providing training and deaf awareness to music teachers to give them the confidence and skills to work directly with deaf students and we do hope this will help to make music education in England more inclusive.
But the arts sector also needs to do more. Risks can only be controlled through research and development and by working with a wider range of artists. It is easy to be ignorant or indifferent about deafness, but in fact, one in six of the UK population live with hearing loss. Beethoven was profoundly deaf when he conducted the premiere of his Ninth Symphony and had to be turned around to see the audience giving him a standing ovation.
