'... [a] useful and informative book.' Music Education Research 'Odena's reflections on the book as a whole lead him to four main conclusions: in brief, that the increased diversity of contemporary forms of musical expression in the mass media and online have not led to a clearer definition of musical creativity; that there is a great deal of local and international variation in the ways in which musical creativity is expressed; that emotion plays an important part in musical creativity; and that some clear practical implications for music education policy follow from these studies. I think that [...] the abandonment of the term may be the best way of dealing with this [conceptual overgeneralisation] but I wholeheartedly agree with Odena's second and third conclusions.' British Journal of Music Education 'This collection of reports in the Ashgate SEMPRE series is an excellent example of how cross-discipline research works... If you are looking for examples of how to conduct research on creativity, this volume offers many appropriate designs... Insights reported in this volume clearly contribute to the global importance of creativity and offer valuable suggestions for continuing the search.' American Music Teacher '[Webster contributes] a remarkable case study about guiding revision in composition.' Journal of Research in Music Education
