Abstract
The purpose of this chapter is to review key research in, and practices of, creativity in music education in order to assist the reader to better understand what is known about musical creativity in teaching, learning, and development between ages 12 and 18. The chapter aims to support teachers in promoting musical creativity in their classrooms. The choice of studies reviewed focuses on key research-based publications, mostly based in formal education settings, and embracing all types of methodological approaches. The first part of the chapter is devoted to an examination of some of the meanings attached to the word creativity, drawing on aesthetics, musicology, psychology, and education. The second part focuses on a conceptualization of musical creativity for the secondary classroom, incorporating a cross-cultural perspective. The chapter concludes with a discussion of promising practices and some final considerations.
