Weekly assignments of visualizations, stories, and other projects develop spatial intelligence. Lateral creative thinking is used in creating, inventing, and in understanding the big picture. Those who possess genius in spatial intelligence may develop wisdom or the ability to learn from experience and have a strong sense of where they are. All people possess some musical intelligence if only to navigate their environment. We detect many kinds of environmental sounds.
Some people hum or drum to the rhythm of sounds they hear.
Most are able to detect patterns in the music they enjoy. Some can develop their musical intelligence to recognize the patterns individual performers and composers use. The expert can create patterns, recognizable by others. Some musical experts create notes, some create words, some create rhythms with movement such as dance and drumming. Students possess differing degrees of expertise, but all are affected, usually positively, by the addition of music to the environment, activities, assignments, projects, and evaluations in a Core Classroom.
