Multiple Intelligences!














The children with high level of musical intelligence have �musical sensitivity to pitch, melody, rhythm and tone listen to and play music, sing, hum, move to the rhythm, and create and replicate tunes (Hoerr, 2002b). Also, such children appreciate and recognize different forms of musical expression and are able to create musical expressions (Silver, Strong, & Perini, 1997). In addition, �These learners sense tonal qualities and are sensitive to sounds, and they likely play a musical instrument. They remember melodies, notice the rhythms of life, and keep perfect time(Prescott, H. M. 2001; Morgan, 1996). Even a child who cannot read music, can use technology to compose; as an example,"a person can compose or, at least assemble, music at a computer even if he or she can't read music or play an instrument" (Howard Gardner, as cited by Weiss, 2000).
