Mapping research on musical creativity: A bibliometric review of the literature from 1990 to 2022

Exploring Spanish studio music teachers’ views on topics related to creativity

“…However, there is research that supports its significance within the specific domain of creativity in art education (Glăveanu, 2018; Mateos-Moreno, 2011). In addition, our participants regarded “innovation,” “originality,” and “adaptation to context” as indicators of creativity, which are typical constructs associated with creativity in any field (Ozenc-Ira, 2023). Interestingly, with the exception of “being empathic,” the absence of more codes in relation to the sociocultural perspective of creativity (Burnard & Haddon, 2016; Glăveanu, 2018) aligns our teachers’ views with an individual-centered process rather than other possible perspectives, such as a socially emergent phenomenon or a posthumanistic performative standpoint (Barad, 2003), thereby confirming its prevalence among music teachers as theorized by Burnard (2016).…”

“…Drawing on a sociocultural perspective, Burnard and Haddon (2016) proposed the existence of “diverse musical creativities” in relation to the individual (i.e., personal characteristics), the field (social systems in music and music education), and the domain (cultural systems in relation to music), where several musical creativity practices coexist, such as “individual,” “communal,” “collective,” “collaborative,” “performance,” “symbolic,” “empathic,” “interdisciplinary,” “computational,” “intercultural,” and “digital” practices. Also in regard to the study of musical creativity, a recent bibliometric review (Ozenc-Ira, 2023) unveiled eight primary topical foci: “computational creativity, processes of improvisation, improvisation teaching and learning, interactions/collaboration during improvisation, effects of improvisation practice, innovative music technology, [and] aesthetic aspects of everyday creativity and music therapy” (p. 1). As this classification demonstrates, studies on beliefs about creativity regarding music, albeit present, do not constitute a central topic in the field.…”

The bright future of research on creativity in music education

“…In research on musical creativity, the (educational) affordances of musical composition software have been well investigated (Özenç-Ira, 2023). Some key findings are that the software affords collaboration between students, because students have a joint 'canvas' they can work on together, and that can be saved to be worked on at a later time.…”

Demagog Hoaks Kapitalisme Digital Perspektif Theodor W. Adorno dan Budaya Massa

“…Adorno dan Horkheimer takut akan bahaya yang ditimbulkan oleh masyarakat totaliter dan kapitalis terhadap warganya. Mereka menegaskan bahwa kapitalisme menciptakan 'industri budaya' yang digunakan untuk membodohi dan menundukkan masyarakat dengan mengubah mereka menjadi massa yang tidak kritis (Ozenc-Ira, 2023).…”
