Musical/Rhythmic
Intelligence
Gardner’s definition:
Musical
intelligence is the capacity to think in music, to be
able to hear patterns,
recognize them, remember them, and perhaps
manipulate them.
People who have strong musical
intelligence don’t just
remember music easily – they can’t get
it out of their minds, it’s so omnipresent. Now,
some people will say. “Yes, music is important, but it’s a talent, not
an intelligence.” And I say, “Fine, let’s call it a talent.
But, then we have to leave the word intelligent out of all
discussions of human abilities.
You know, Mozart was damned
smart!”
