Multiple Intelligences

» Dan_Ellsworth - 7-no-8 Intelligences

Thanks for introducing me to the theory. Having had the kinds of intelligence that shows up best on IQ and similar tests, I had an uneasy feeling for a long time that others had forms of intelligence that I could barely comprehend - but could appreciate in action.

You might be right about these intelligences applying to music - and that maybe the allegedly unmusical just haven't been approached right. Although I usually describe myself as unmusical, in a car, with radio tuned to an "oldies" station, I'm likely to become Percussion Man - though only alone. I'm not sure what that all means. But I'm not ruling out "Geriatric Rock" some day.

» Deborah_Jeter - Hi, Dan

Long time no hear from. Sure glad to have popped in and caught your comments on multiple intelligences. It's an interesting concept to say the least. I truly believe that even if you don't consider yourself, "musical", that you have the capabability to develop more musicality in yourself no mater what age. I like the term Geriatric Rock! What could be better than that for the upcoming millenium!? We already have "geriatric classical". ;-)

Thanks again for dropping by. Don't make yourself scare! Come back next month when I'll be offering a whole new line of thought on how we learn best.

» Dan_Ellsworth - Hi, Gracie_Allen!

How did you decide on that name? I like it.

Talkin' bout my g-g-g-generation ...

Yes, I think we can learn something musical past 50 - though often it's the things we have to UN-learn that require particular attention. (Music and bad experiences; beliefs in one's ineptness; you could add a few things.) So next month, maybe I can walk in, chat a while, and walk away whistling.

I've been busy with the topic transition, but I think the worst of it is past. Expletive! Starting the "Christian Humor" topic has been serious business sometimes! But now the door's open and we're starting to rock the joint.

Maybe some Sunday School organizers could use a course in "Humorous Christian Music Education." (We haven't invented it yet.)

Or a few days camping.

Good to be back here.

» Deborah_Jeter - So, you have moved too?

The name, Gracie_Allen, is used by me here instead of my real name, due to the fact, that I resemble the "Gracie Allen personality" of the George Burns and Gracie show. That has been my nickname since I married my husband. In fact, the book about George and Gracie was a wedding present from me to my husband. Unbeknownst to me at the time of the purchase, there is a page in the book that shows Gracie wearing a dress and a hat, holding a dog, all of which resembled the wedding dress that I wore and our dogs were almost identical as well. Eeerrie, in a nice sort of way. :-)

I didn't realize that you would be writing under a different topic now. I haven't been that involved in Editor Talk for several months and so I'm late in knowing the Suite 101 Editor news. I'm pleased to know that you will writing about humor. We can all use more of that!

Hopefully, next month, I can leave whistling too. :-)

I'll be making the rounds to a few editor topics over spring break in March. I'll post a few messages to you then. Right now, I'm up to my eyeballs in graduate applications and federal aid forms. Sheesh!

Thanks for the visit! It was really nice to hear from you.
