ABCS OF NON-MUSIC USE OF MUSIC
A: Adapting classroom activities by focusing on musical elements such as pitch and rhythm as important tools for cognitive development through prescribed curriculum or text
B: Bringing in speech prosody, phonological awareness, micro-expressions of feelings and emotions through gestures and action singing as mediums of presenting lessons
C: Competence building of teachers and students to musicalize text of various disciplines through language art elements and pattern poetry as aptness in non-music use of music for cognitive (language processing skills) and non-cognitive (attentiveness, long-term memory) development of students
D: Devices like rap lyrics, crooning of micro-poems, recitation of syllabic poems, creation and rendering of pattern poems
E: Experimentation and evolution by teachers through lesson studies and jam sessions of students on text musicalization with review can be good ways to institutionalise teaching to enhance musical intelligence
