Abstract
Herein, we examine the development and measurement of musical creativity. Musical
creativity has been valued in what students bring with them and develops as students’ mature,
and yet to an educator this development mode remains tacit and phenomological. Past studies
of creative musical behaviors encompassed spontaneous behaviors, composition, and
improvisation. Musical creativity resides in Children’s early songs which show a sense of
ownership with creative experiences, inventive notation, and composition. However,
developing musical creativity measurements have lead researchers to examine the relationship
between musical creativity and various individual difference variables such as general
creativity, music aptitude, and academic achievement. The result has been limited success as
the construct of musical creativity remains ill-defined and tenuous.
