Good morning wonderful people, especially on
the LinkedIn newsletter. I'm beginning today
a series of talks and discussions, hopefully
it'll spur a lot of discussions, on the nine
different types of intelligence proposed by Howard
Gardner back in 1983, the book called Frames
of Mind. I believe this should be the right way
we should examine, check out and Hopefully explore
and make this the new norm of testing so -called
IQ or intelligence quotient. Because the way
we test it now with all this STEM education and
all this nonsense does not take care of the holistic
view of human intelligence. We are talking about
artificial intelligence. Let's get the human
intelligence straight, isn't it? So I shall begin
now. There are totally nine types and later on
after finishing this I'll leave resources on
a google drive you can check that out but first
let's begin the learning this one begins with
musical intelligence how to identify it earlier
on when i talk about musical intelligence i'm
not speaking only about children who can sing
beautiful or play instruments flawlessly i'm
talking about a deep cognitive orientation the
way the child's brain processes the world through
rhythm pattern sound tone cadence vibration and
resonance Musical intelligence is not talent,
it's a thinking style. And organized schools,
nations that recognize it will build more creative,
adaptive, and emotionally rich children, young
adults, and therefore next generations. So what
exactly are we talking about when we speak of
musical intelligence? It's characterized by oral
orientation, heightened listening sensitivity,
and accuracy. Patterning, an instinctive search
for patterns in sound, in language, in numbers
or movement. Resonance, the ability to emotionally
quote -unquote identify with patterns and rhythms.
These are children who are naturally inclined
towards that. Audiation, thinking musically not
verbally, processing information in terms of
sound. Children, strong in this intelligence,
seek patterns in new information, detect rhythms
in speech and tone. If their empathic child,
which many are these days, born in this new vibration,
they'll detect. Whether you're lying, whether
you're angry, they can sense it faster than the
adults born in an older energy were. Anyway,
back to. Move naturally to tempo. Observe languages
faster. Remember concepts using sound based cues.
They thrive on information that has cadence,
beats or sonic structure. This is cognitive architecture.
How to identify musical intelligence in children.
Now this I'm making mainly for the psychologist,
child counselors, everybody who's working with
children, teachers, parents, you know. Your precious
children you need to identify which one of these
intelligence is displayed more by your children
I shall go ahead later and explore the astrology
part bridge that and Hopefully do some more case
studies so that you get a more grounded approach
to this anyway back to Children who carries intelligence
tack on rhythms tables floors and toys You know
you can find them doing such things Mimic sound
patterns with uncanny accuracy. Repeat phrases,
jingles, language patterns effortlessly. They
show early interest in melody, beats and sound
toys. They learn new words or languages quite
fast. Use rhythm to self -soothe or focus. They
notice subtle difference in sounds or in tone
or cadence that adults seem to miss. how this
appears in young adults, creative pattern recognition
across disciplines, high sensitivity to tone
in communication, they can read your tone when
you speak. They get all that information just
by tone, something that you will take ages to
figure out by the root language, isn't it? Strong
memory when information is rhythmically structured,
ability to identify irregularities quickly, sound,
logic and environment. They have a strong intuitive
grasp of languages, poetry, beat based learning.
They have a preference for environments with
movement like flow, music, sound cues, something
like all the kids these days love Zumba, that
class where you move with the beats, isn't it?
It's getting very popular with young adults.
That's musical. That's a brain that cognitively
recognizes beats. What do we do to nurture this?
We need to first of all have pattern based learning
tools. Use rhythm blocks, pattern blocks, sound
pattern exercises for math, science and logic.
Sound awareness practices. Train the students
to hear environmental sounds. Identify different
bird chirping, for example. Identify tones. Symbol
to sound matching. Echo exercises. Sound awareness
practices, if you want to take it on a conscious
level, you can also say have exercises which
make them match the bird sounds. What is it really
saying? Is the bird angry? Is the bird sad, for
example? There's a difference in that. Movement
integrated learning incorporate rhythm based
movements, body percussion, kinesthetic pacing
to embed concepts. Visual pattern reinforcement.
They can use visual pattern drawing, code patterns,
rhythmic charts, structural visual auditory memory
tools. They can also have foreign language memory
that improves dramatically with cadence -based
teaching. So we need to establish this as the
basis for evaluating musical learning. Musical
learning is very important to evaluate as cognitive
science. To help our children who are coming
in with very high consciousness, a very different
generation is in it, even the Gen Zs. Musical
thinkers excel in careers that require deep pattern
recognition. emotional intelligence, fast auditory
processing, innovation driven by sensory insight,
linguistic sensitivity, high speed recall, empathy
and rhythm driven collaboration. I'll put the
full text of this in the LinkedIn newsletter
also. For those on my YouTube channel, you can
dive in, come to the newsletter on my LinkedIn
profile, you can check it out. Okay, this is
mainly for counselors, psychologists, parents
and teachers who are helping our beautiful children.
So, if you're not familiar with the work of Howard
Gardner, he has published a book back in 1983
called The Frames of Mind, which covers these
nine types of intelligence. This is the first
one. I'll see you in the next one. Meanwhile,
take care. Be safe.
