I agree with Brophy when he says that we should not assess our student's creativity level/ process. I think that is is unnecessary. I do not think that I would ever need to test my student's creativity, unless it was on something to do with them composing their own piece. In that case I could assess their musicality.
I think that musical creativity is the way someone views music, and how they use it and work with it. The things that one does with music. I think that musical creativity is a major thing with music and my philosophy. I think that it is important to be creative when performing, and when doing anything dealing with music. I think that it is VERY important to put in one's own personal taste in their music.
I feel that I would be most comfortable teaching improvisation. I think that it takes a tremendous use of musical creativity and I think it is something that my students would enjoy. A way that I could assess this, would be to assess how well they performed their improvisation, how well they used their musical knowledge to it, and how well prepared they were. Possibly have a test on what improvisation is, how it came about, and how to perform it.
