I was not surprised to read the results of the test that we took on multiple
intelligences. As a music teacher I answer strongly on the music questions.

I would have thought that my Spatial and Visual learning would be higher. I often need
to see the music before I can play it as opposed to a certain type of musician who can
hear music but never bothers to look at composed music and has trouble deciphering
written music. I am generally low on the Naturalistic and that seems to be true. I am
big on moving and have a very difficult time staying in one spot especially when I am
learning something.
Linguistic Learner: At the beginning of the year I have my AP music theory students go
to Groves Music Dictionary Online. http://www.oxfordmusiconline.com/ Many of the
terms that we used can be defined there but also have multi-media that are attached to
them. Students can read, hear and see the definition of the musical term.
Logical Learner: There are many ways to learn about key signatures. One of my
favorites is on musictheory.net. It involves using a key signature calculation to add and
subtract sharps and flats to arrive at the right key. While the website itself may not be
for the logical learner they have a chance to see a logical approach to understanding
key signatures in a fast and fun way.
