Musical intelligence involves sound, rhythms, tone, beats, harmonies, and melodies. Children in physical education class naturally love to move to music. When we are exercising, often times I will play some upbeat, highly energetic music. It is cool to see the intensity level of the kids elevate to higher levels. I once thought that in order to have musical intelligence, one must be a great singer, composer, or musician. This is actually not true. According to Gardner, displaying musical intelligence could be as simple as tapping one’s foot to a beat, or humming along with a melody. I for one know that music enriches my life every day, and I try to give the students the same opportunities to enjoy what it brings.
