Abstract

The purpose of this study is to conduct an experimental research to find out the influence of music training on student’s creativity. Students were classified into an experimental group and controlled group. Test of Creative Thinking was given to both the groups to determine their creativity. Then music training was imparted only to the experimental group for a period of three months by means of interventional music training module developed by the investigator. Thereafter, Test of Creative Thinking was again given to both the groups. In order to determine whether music training had any impact on the student’s creativity, t test was applied to find the mean difference between experimental group and controlled group in the pre-test as well as in the post-test. The outcome shows that no significant difference was found between the experimental group and the controlled group in the pre test while a significant difference was found at the post test between them at .01 levels. Comparison of creativity between the pre-test and post-test was also determined with the experimental group as well as the controlled group. Here, significant difference between pre-test and post-test among experimental group was found at .01 level while significant difference between the pre test and post test among the controlled group was found at .05 level of confidence. Therefore, it can be interpreted that music training given to the students does have a significant impact on their creativity.
