The student whose strongest area of intelligence is in the area of music, is the student who is always going around singing - that's me. This area of intelligence develops earlier in life then any other area of intelligence. Those who have high levels of musical or rhythmic intelligence hear the tone, rhythms and sound patterns in the environment.
For this student, poetry that has a rhythm is a natural, while other poetry does not sound right, like something is a missed. Use that natural ability to help them with the areas of school work that they struggle with. Have they got a word that they struggle to spell - make it into a sign song; ex. or - an -ge, break the words into the natural syllables within the word. ex under - stand - able.
Need help memorizing those silly math facts - there are multiple songs out there designed just for that - helping people learn those facts. It is a fun way to learn those facts. When it comes to fractions show them how music is full of math - whole notes, half notes etc etc etc. It makes that subject more relevant to the student and therefore easier to learn because there is a reason.
