Musical Intelligence Opinion
I represent a group of music teachers that try to improve the music area in basic education (schools and high schools). Here in Spain the music in school has almost disappeared so we are trying to change that. We go by the saying "we don't do music because we are humans but we are humans because we do music".
In the last meeting we were talking about a theory and I would like to share it with you if care to listen.
When I was reading something about the theory of Multiple Intelligences I realised that Musical Intelligence "only" serves to be musician. The rest of Intelligences are useful to resolve a lot of problems but I don't know what problem resolves the music. These things I have learned from reading your books.
But now I think: Could be the Musical Intelligence the core which the rest of Intelligences go out branched? Howard Gardner said that Musical Intelligence is related to every other type of Intelligence and that it is true that the first human communication is musical (a baby understands the "music" in its own "language") so maybe it is necessary to develop the Musical Intelligence to develop the rest of these Intelligences.
What do you think? Am I very far off or could this maybe be true?
