Texas MEA Convention | Multiple Intelligence in the Music Classroom with Lillie Feierabend

Description:

Multiple Intelligence in the Music Classroom: Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligence suggests that individuals do not have just one intelligence but, rather, possess a portfolio of intelligences, Music being one of them. What is becoming increasingly evident is that while developing our students’ music ability, we are also helping to support the other intelligences. When we invite our student to sing, move, play instruments, and respond expressively, we are helping to nurture, strengthen and develop their Verbal, Linguistic, Logical, Mathematical, Bodily, Kinesthetic, Visual Spatial, Interpersonal, and Intrapersonal intelligences, as well. Because our content is developmentally appropriate, almost everything we teach in the music classroom can have an equally significant impact on the general classroom. Feierabend will discuss the Theory of Multiple Intelligence and its implications and applications in the general music classroom, and also explore ideas and lessons designed to be shared with classroom colleagues in their classroom.
