1.1. CreativityThe term “creativity” is used in different contexts (e.g. technical, scientific, literal) and over the past 20 years aseries of educational initiatives (National Advisory Committee on Creative and Cultural Education [NACCCE]1999; Robinson 1982) has explored a broad meaning of the term. Creativity is a very multifaceted aspect of humanbehaviour, and for this reason it is not easy to provide a universally acceptable definition. According to Rodhes(1961), Treffinger, Isaksen, & Firestein (1982) distinguished four general approaches to the issue of definingcreativity. “Some definitions view creativity as a fundamental description of a person. Within this definition, there isan emphasis on personality characteristics distinguishing highly creative people from their less creative peers. Otherapproaches he identified are more concerned with creativity as a process in which the stages of creative activity aredescribed, or in which the abilities which influence creativity are assessed and analysed. By contrast, some writerschoose to emphasize creativity as a product, defining and distinguishing among more or less creative people only onthe basis of the resulting products or accomplishments. Finally, some writers stress environmental press,emphasizing the role of social and cultural influences in the development and expression of creativity” (p. 5).Openness to experience (also in interpersonal settings) is related with different forms of creativity (Batey &Furnham, 2006); moreover, creativity is positively linked with positive affects (Davis, 2009). Whichever definitionof creativity is accepted, good teachers must cultivate the seeds of creativity so that they may blossom into divergentthoughts. Music creativity, in particular, showed in infancy a significant grade-level difference: Kiehn (2003)demonstrated a growth stage from grade 2 to 4, and a significant correlation with figural creativity. Moreover,creativity implied in musical participation has an intrinsically social nature, and this may have relevant educationimplications (McDonald & Miell, 2000).
