She had learnt to open her mind and body to different sounds and vibrations. Sound of music peared through every part of her body. It tingles in her skin, cheekbones and in her hair. Leaning against the drums she could feel its resonance. Playing xylophone she could feel to sensation on her finger tips. Sanding bare feet on a wooden platform she could feel the vibrations passing up her legs.
