　　Ask Steveland Morris, and he will tell you that blindness is not necessarily disabling. Steveland was born prematurely and totally without sight in 1950. He became Stevie Wonder--composer, singer, and pianist. The winner of ten Grammy awards, Stevie is widely acclaimed for his outstanding contribution to the music world.

　　As a child, Stevie learned not to think about the things he could not do, but to concentrate on the things he could do. His parents encouraged him to join his sighted brothers in as many activities as possible. They also helped him to sharpen his sense of hearing, the sense upon which the visually disabled are so dependent.

　　Because sound was so important to him, Stevie began at an early age to experiment with different kinds of sounds. He would bang(敲) things together and then imitate the sound with his voice. Often relying on sound for entertainment, he sang, beat on toy drums, played a toy harmonica(口琴) and listened to the radio.

　　Stevie soon graduated from toy instruments to real instruments. He first learned to play the drums. He then mastered the harmonica and the piano. He became a member of the junior church choir and a lead singer. In the evenings and on the weekends, Stevie would play different instruments and sing popular rhythm and blues tunes on the front porches of neighbors' homes.

　　One of Stevie's sessions was overheard by Ronnie White, a member of a popular singing group called the Miracals. Ron nie immediately recognized Stevie's talent and took him to audition for Berry Gardy, the smash hit“Fingertips”in 1962 at age twelve, and the rest of Stevie's story is a music history.
