An Empirical Study On The Influence Of Improvisation As A Motivational Factor On Children’s Creative Thinking In Music

Creativity is often closely related to one’s imagination,association,and subconscious.Creativity itself is an ability,which is not only an important factor in a person’s level of achievement,but also an inexhaustible driving force for society to continuously explore and innovate.The generation of creativity must occur in a specific professional field.Creative thinking in music is a dynamic psychological process,established on the basis of alternating divergent and convergent thinking.The two will alternate in stages as individuals continue to learn knowledge and over time.The creation of music is a very complex process that requires multiple factors and conditions.The generation of motivation for music creation will be an important factor in stimulating music creativity.Music creativity is closely related to children’s cognitive and emotional development,and its value is increasingly recognized in psychology.The cultivation of music creative thinking plays an important role in improving children’s evaluation and understanding of music.By cultivating children’s music creative thinking,not only can they develop personal creative skills,but also enhance and cultivate their ability to evaluate and appreciate others’ works.The age of 7 to 12 is a rapid stage of children’s intellectual development,which is manifested by the ability to understand logical patterns and use them,and the ability to have a full understanding and understanding of what needs to be done.Research results have shown that around the age of 9 is an important period for children’s cognitive and self-development concepts of creativity.Children around the age of 9 can have a clearer definition of creativity.Therefore,the main subjects of this study will be children aged9-10 to conduct music creative thinking related tests.This study will adopt empirical research methods to solve some problems in the process of music teaching through psychological methods.Creative thinking in music is chosen as the dependent variable,and improvisation training is chosen as the independent variable.Under the premise of controlling for additional variables such as gender and personality,creative motivation is chosen as an important "hub" connecting improvisation training and music creative thinking.Through improvisation training,Encourage participants to gradually develop individual creative motivation during the process of achieving corresponding music creation goals,in order to enhance children’s creative thinking in music.This study is mainly divided into six chapters,which are: 1.Introduction;2.Literature review;3.Theoretical exploration of impromptu training to promote children’s creative thinking in music;4.A pretest study on the impact of improvisation training on children’s creative thinking in music;5.Posttest research on the impact of improvisation training on children’s creative thinking in music;6.Summary.The experimental results will be tested using the Webster Music Creative Thinking Scale from four dimensions that affect music creative thinking: music flexibility,music originality,music syntax,and music breadth.The experiment is divided into two parts: a pre test and a post test.The pre test only tests whether the levels of the dependent variables in experimental group a and control group b are consistent.The post test tests whether the four factors that affect musical creative thinking have improved respectively.It should be noted that both the pre and post tests control for the influence of external variables such as gender and personality.The experimental results indicate that impromptu training can stimulate children’s motivation to create music,and the four factor levels of experimental group a have been improved,while control group b has no significant changes in the four factor levels.In summary,improvisation training is superior to traditional teaching methods and can promote children’s creative thinking ability in music.
