Theory of Multiple Intelligences 

Howard Gardne

r (in 1983)

Possess different kinds of minds and

therefore learn, remember,

perform, and understand in different ways

MUSICAL INTELLIGENCE“PITCH (or melody) and rhythm: sounds emitted at certain auditory frequencies and grouped according to a prescribed system"

If we can explain music, we may find the key for all human thought

Central Elements: pitch , rhythm and timbre

MUSICAL

Performance, composition, and appreciation of

musical patterns

Capacity to recognize and

compose musical pitches, tones, and

rhythms.

Runs in an almost structural parallel to

linguistic intelligence.
