Musical Creativities in Practice explores the social and the
cultural contexts in which creativity in music occurs. It begins by
considering what constitutes creativity - taking a cross cultural
view of music, while also investigating creative processes far
beyond just the classical music genre - to include electronic
media, popular music, improvised music. In addition it looks at
creativity in both writing and performing.
A key part of the book focuses on the field of musical education,
considering why creativity is important within the educational
environment, and looking at how schools might sometimes stifle
creativity in their music teaching, rather than encourage it.
Throughout, the book makes extensive use of case studies and
real-life examples taken from studies across the world, offering a
powerful corrective to myths and outmoded conceptions which
privilege the creative practice of individual artists. It argues
the need for conceptual expansion of musical creativities in line
with vital contemporary real world practices. It explores how
different types of musical creativities are recognised and
communicated in the real world practices of a diversity of
professional musicians. It covers creative practice issues
underlying composing, improvising, singer songwriting, originals
bands, DJ cultures, live coding and interactive sound designing and
the implications of creativity research for music education and for
the assessment of creativities in industry and education.
This book will be valuable for those in fields of music psychology
and music education, from advanced undergraduate level upwards.
