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.
