The Creative Music Strategy: A Seven-Step Instructional Model

The creative music strategy is a dynamic and flexible seven-step model for guiding general music students through the music concepts of improvisation and composition, followed by critical reflection. These are musical behaviors that cultivate the development of our students' deeper conceptual understandings and music independence by helping them think creatively, critically, and analytically, all while they are engaged as active music makers.
