    The Musical Child - Part 1

    What is Musical Giftedness? Musical intelligence was defined by Howard Gardner, author of Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences, as "an individual who likes to sing or hum along to music, appreciates music, may play a musical instrument and remembers song melodies." Children who have an extremely high musical intelligence are prodigies. In this series, we will explore what is means to be "musically gifted," what teachers and parents can do to foster these gifts

    Multiple Intelligences & Music Lessons

    Back in 1983, American developmental psychologist, Howard Gardner, proposed his model that the human mind is not limited to only one or two types of intelligence, but that there are multiple ways in which a person may be “intelligent.” Intelligence is not a single general ability. It's more than the ability to work well with numbers or words but includes a range of skills and abilities. You can picture it this way, the human mind is not a calculator that is programmed to do

    Janae's Philosophy of Education

    I believe that all people, regardless of background, have innate creative ability. Creativity is what makes us human. As a music teacher, it is my intent to show this to all of my students, whether or not they have previous music training. Even if a student does not play an instrument, compose or sing skillfully; basic music knowledge that leads to the appreciation of it as a form of expression is important to a well-rounded education. By studying music, all students gain

    Music for Life – 15 Ways Music Benefits Intellectual Health

    In the last "Music for Life" post, we learned about how music benefits us physically. Now, let's explore how learning music is good for our intellectual development. Music is beneficial to our brains. In fact, music is hardwired into us. Research shows that babies cry to the sound of common musical intervals. The sing-song chants of young children are often a series of minor-thirds. (Think "Rain, Rain, Go Away.") In the case of stroke victims, music aids recovery of verbal sk

    Learning The Way of Music

    A systematic approach is important when learning a new skill, especially one as intricate as music. Many people may only consider music to be an auditory skill. To be a great musician, you need an excellent “ear.” While developing your ear is crucial to musical success, music is also a visual and kinesthetic (physical) ability. A good method or “way” will lead you down the path to success by showing you how to “see” music, reading sheet music or chord charts, etc., and as wel
