Abstract

This study explores the evolving definitions of creativity within the context of musical giftedness and development, using a collaborative autoethnographic approach to analyze the life experiences of two musicians. Drawing from Sternberg’s WICS model, we propose a MwSIC Model of Creativity that places an individual’s life story at the center, surrounded by the interrelated elements of Intelligence , Creativity , and Wisdom for talent development. Our findings challenge traditional educational practices in music learning, which often emphasize product-oriented outcomes and rigid definitions of success. Instead, we advocate for a process-oriented approach that values the ongoing journey of creative development. We suggest a shift toward valuing ambiguity and the creative process which can cultivate more adaptable, innovative, and reflective musicians. This research contributes to the broader discourse on creativity as a development over time, offering insights that can enhance the development of musically gifted individuals.

音乐天赋内外的创造力：提出一个MwSIC的创造力模型

本研究探讨了在音乐天赋和发展的背景下创造力的不断发展的定义，使用协作的自我民族志方法来分析两位音乐家的生活经历。根据斯滕伯格的WICS模型，我们提出了一个MwSIC创造力模型，该模型将个人的生活故事置于中心，被智力、创造力和智慧等相互关联的要素所包围，以促进人才发展。我们的研究结果挑战了传统的音乐学习教育实践，这些实践通常强调以产品为导向的结果和对成功的严格定义。相反，我们提倡以过程为导向的方法，重视创造性发展的持续旅程。我们建议转向重视模糊性和创造性的过程，这可以培养出更具适应性、创新性和反思性的音乐家。这项研究有助于更广泛地讨论创造力随着时间的推移而发展，提供了可以促进音乐天才个人发展的见解。
