Musical
4.86
Musical: You like the rhythm and sound of language. You like poems, songs, and jingles. You enjoy humming or singing along with music. You probably remember things well when they are associated with music or rhythm. Try to incorporate sounds into your lessons, such as using a familiar tune, song, or rap beat to teach spelling rules, or to remember words in a series for a test. Here are some other ways to use your musical intelligence:
* 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."

Just because these five are not in your top three doesn’t mean you’re not strong in them. If your average score for any intelligence is above three, you’re probably using that intelligence quite often to help you learn. Take a look at the Practice section to see how to engage all your intelligences.
