What is Musical Intelligence? How Can I Improve It?

Content: You were either born intelligent or not, and your education could do nothing to change that. As a result of this thought, not long ago people didn’t educate mentally deficient people because they saw it as pointless. Defining intelligence as a skill means that it’s an ability you can develop. Gardner doesn’t deny the genetic component. Instead he argues that these “potentialities” will develop depending on a person’s environment, experiences, education, etc. No elite athlete gets to the top without training, no matter how good their natural abilities might be. We could say the same thing about mathematicians, poets, or emotionally intelligent people. That’s why, according to the multiple intelligences model proposed by Howard Gardner, we all have the potential to develop our intelligence, supported by our abilities and our motivation.

Logical-mathematical intelligence
Gardner defines this intelligence as the ability to understand abstract relationships.
