Tuesday, October 20, 2015

So this one’s for Cathy McGriff: Just How Does Music Hit All 8 of the Other Gardner Intelligences? 1. Naturalist: sensitivity to natural world features. 3. Logical-Mathematical: 32nd? 64th? 128th note. Think about the 8-bit computer chip! 4. Existential: Why are we… how’d we get here? Synthesizing idioms, metaphor, myth. 5. Interpersonal: Plays well with […]
