Child music production: A creative and autotelic aspect

Sa？etak Considering the great significance and importance of creativity that is being sought today in all areas, not only in the artistic one, the aim of this paper is to point to the importance of performing musical-creative activities from the child’s early and pre-school age. As the basis of the child’s musical and musical-creative development, the phenomenon of communicative musicality is emphasized. By encouraging children’s spontaneous musical expression, the child expresses and creates an active music experience that contributes to the development of self actualization and creation of optimal experience (flow) in creative process as well as special aesthetic experience of the individual that contribute to the development of his creativity, sensitivity and aesthetic values. The significance of musical-creative activities and the numerous benefits of music in the child’s holistic development are increasingly emphasized for the realization of greater economic and social achievements. The paper attempts to highlight the importance of music and the creative process as autotelic activity which is, instead of on the result of creation, focused on the creative act itself that is eventually a purpose in itself
