Musical Intelligence

Dr Howard Gardner in his book “frames of mind” refers musical intelligence to the capacity to appreciate a variety of musical forms as well as for composition of music able to use music as a vehicle of expression. Musically intelligent people are perceptive elements of rhythm, melody and pitch.

In fact, music has not confined boundaries to make it limited only to musical instruments. There is music in nature. Water falls, rainy showers, blowing air, waves of sea producing sweet music.

In musically intelligence context when I discussed about the same with my class fellow Asadullah Mangi, he has given his opinion in these words “we may utilize music intelligence method while in our class rooms too to get better results.” He further said “first teacher may recognize students who possess same quality, than he/she make relative activities with the help of teacher course contents. That will help shy and passive students to get good chance to come forward and prove their performance based on music learning.”

Music intelligence is also not limited to poetry poetic prose. Many writers have celebrated the music of writings. Virtually there is music in words. Flow, softness, richness and harmony feel the reader just listening music. When I read the Sindhi Novel “Oondahi
Dharti Roshan Hath” (Dark Earth, Lighting Hands) of Agha Saleem and Bano Qudsia’s Urdu Novel “Raja Gidh” (King vulture) felt like I am listening master piece of music in form of reading. “I think all good writers hear the music of good writing they have read.” Knralt

Describing music from different aspect might be way to bring positive academic changes into classroom.
Musical intelligence into classroom, for better teaching learning process.
