Gardner’s Multiple Intelligence: Music & Symbolism
One doesn’t think of how odd sheet music is as a language. Ubiquitous and rather separate from other languages. Appealing no doubt to the musically inclined.
As Gardner (1999, p38) puts it, “Symbol systems may have been developed precisely because of their preexisting, ready fit with the relevant intelligence or intelligences.”
