CREATIVITY IN ARTS EDUCATION, PHENOMENOLOGY OF MUSIC AND EINSTEIN’S SCIENTIFIC INSIGHT INTO THE RELATIVITY OF TIME

It has become increasingly important to seek connections between creativity in arts education and scientific insights. These have important implications for any curriculum relating to arts education and science. Thus, there are interesting and complex connections between major scientific discoveries and creativity in the arts. An important question in this regard is how does it happen that a major scientific insight may be perceived to be an outcome of creative activity or insight associated with the arts? As this is obviously a vast area I will focus on a specific example that has historical and factual antecedents; i. e., Einstein‘s theory of relativity of time.
