Sažetak
Modern science has shown that cognitive processes related to children involved in art, in this case in music, are directly related to other cognitive processes in the brain. All the more widespread view is that music affects other mental processes, but we still have no insight into the way of how the process works. To perform certain tasks requires different levels of certain types of intelligence and in this paper we deal more with the development of musical intelligence in relation to linguistic intelligence. It is not the rule that distinct intelligences are always related to each other. Therefore, we can conclude that different forms of intelligence are relatively independent. Gardner (Gardner1993, p. 41) states that there is no reason for two or more intelligences not to overlap or correlate with each other and therefore there exists a lower or higher level of mutual correlation. Furthermore, he affirms that "music can be a strong link of cognitive processes, especially in young people " (Gardner, 1997, p. 9). The empirical part of the work deals with the research into the process of language competence acquisition in students who attend secondary music schools or music education, compared to students who do not attend the music schools. Through research we want to examine whether students who have been tested and have developed "a musical ear” accomplish better results in acquiring language competence (in English and the mother tongue) compared to students who do not receive any music education and whose "musical ear" has not been tested. Part of this research was conducted with elementary school students in Split and Zadar.
