Musical Intelligence : People who are strong in the musical intelligence like the rhythm and sound of language. Practice repeating English while clapping and chanting. Poems, songs, and jingles are also good exercises, enjoy humming or singing along with music. The difficult language, such as introductions in task one line and bar charts, can be sang out to help you remember.

Here are ways to work with this intelligence in your lessons:

• Use a familiar tune, song, or rap beat to teach spelling rules, or to remember words in a series for a test.

• Create a poem with an emphasis on certain sounds for pronunciation.

• Clap out or walk out the sounds of syllables.

• Read together (choral reading) to work on fluency and intonation.

• Read a story with great emotion — sad, then happy, then angry. Talk about what changes — is it only tone?

• Work with words that sound like what they mean (onomatopoeia). For example: sizzle, cuckoo, smash.

• Read lyrics to music.

• Use music as background while reviewing and for helping to remember new material.

• Use rhymes to remember spelling rules, i.e., "I before E except after C."

This intelligence has to do with rhythm, music, and hearing. Those who have a high level of musical-rhythmic intelligence display greater sensitivity to sounds, phonemes, intonation, rhythms, and of course music. They normally have good pitch and may even have absolute pitch, and are able to sing, play musical instruments, and compose music. Since there is a strong auditory component to this intelligence, those who are strongest in it may learn best via lecture. In addition, they will often use songs or rhythms to learn and memorize information, and may work best with music playing in the background.

Careers that suit those with this intelligence include instrumentalists, singers, conductors, disc-jockeys, and composers.
