Michaela van Blerk
3/11/2013 The aim of this essay is to define and then discuss Vygotsky’s Zone of Proximal Development and Howard Gardner’s Entry Points as well as the Multiple intelligences and discover how these two philosophies can be used in conjunction with one another in the teaching environment. Then I will explore whether or not music can evoke real human emotions, what impact human emotions have in music learning and if/how these emotions enhance Vygotsky and Gardner’s philosophies of teaching and learning.
