Abstract

This literature review examines the role of creativity in music education, synthesizing existing research to identify gaps and propose future directions. Recognized globally as a critical 21st-century skill, creativity's abstract nature makes it challenging to define. The review traces the evolution of creativity research, from Guilford's foundational work to Torrance's process-oriented definitions. Various models, including Rhodes' 4P model and Kaufman and Beghetto's Four C model, offer comprehensive frameworks for understanding creativity. The relationship between creativity and intelligence is explored, highlighting the need for educational approaches that nurture both. Creative thinking, characterized by divergent thinking, is crucial for generating multiple solutions to problems. Traits such as curiosity, flexibility, risk-taking, and intrinsic motivation are identified as essential for fostering a creative personality. The review emphasizes the importance of creative teaching methodologies and their impact on student development. It also explores music creation teaching through various educational systems, underscoring its role in cultivating students' imagination and creative abilities. Overall, the review highlights the necessity of integrating creativity into educational practices to enhance cognitive and emotional development in students.
