Musical Intelligence as a tool for mediating learning

When we mention the term intelligence, we immediately think of knowledge of maths and the Portuguese language. However, studies such as Gardner's (1995, 2010) point to intelligence as the ability to solve problems in a social environment. In this work, we invested in Musical Intelligence, looking for ways to contribute to student performance through strategies involving this type of intelligence. Thus, the aims of this research were to stimulate Musical Intelligence through the use of playful activities. To this end, activities based on the Theory of Multiple Intelligences were planned, focussing on Musical Intelligence, based on sound didactics.
