Abstract

The author presents an overview of learning styles most pertinent to music education with the intent of heightening and facilitating educators’ awareness of various learning preferences and human intelligence theories. By highlighting and contrasting key models—Modality learning theory, Gardner’s multiple intelligences, Myers and Briggs type indicator theory, Keirseian temperament theory, and Golay’s animal personality temperaments—the author presents information educators may reflect upon and utilize while broadening their approach to providing students with optimal learning experiences through targeted, efficient, and effective lessons.
