Case Study Research

In 2004, statistical results of Dr. DiEdwardo’s case study research suggest that pairing music and linguistic intelligences in the college classroom improves students’ grades and abilities to compose theses statements for research papers in courses that emphasize reading and writing skills (DiEdwardo 2004).   In initial study in 2003, Maryann refined Howard Gardner’s (1993) definition of music as a “separate intellectual competence” and compared music intelligence to linguistic intelligence. Furthermore, through acknowledgement of MI Theory, educators infuse cognitive abilities of students by helping them “think” as one of her students suggested.  Her article, “Pairing Music and Linguistic Intelligences”  was published in the Record, Vol. 41, No. 3, Spring 2005.   Kappa Delta Pi, International Education Honors Society.

Dr. Maryann DiEdwardo writes about Practices to Heal

This week, I am writing about the arts as healing. Engage in writing a nature journal or taking a walk to collect photos as themes for watercolors. 

I write books about music and healing.

While you are walking, listen to favorite melodies if possible or hum these! Music changes us as does nature and change of thought pattern. 

Have a great day 
Maryann
