Abstract
Despite the fact that we live in a welfare society, full of means and opportunities at hand, around us we can see a society besieged by stress and unsatisfied in achieving its aims.
Often, academic intelligence cannot solve the problems preventing us from being happy in our lives. There is an intelligence different from the rational one, which has a stronger influence in specific and constant situations of our lives: it is emotional intelligence, as named by Goleman.
This article reflects on emotional intelligence applied to musical training in special subjects in conservatories, based on different surveys showing the efficiency, need for and possibilities of improving pupils’ performance by using their abilities for self-knowledge, self-control, empathy, sociability and self-motivation.
