Ron Forbes, the percussionist was the one who spotted Evelyn’s potential while most of the teachers discouraged her. Initially, he began to teach her by tuning two large drums to different notes and asked her to feel the music and sense it. Gradually, she began to feel the higher drum from the waist up and the lower one from the waist down. Due to a continuous repetition of this exercise, Evelyn could feel certain notes in different parts of her body which eventually resulted in opening up her mind and body to the sounds and vibrations of music.
