How Teachers Think and Act in Promoting Young Children's Musical Creativity The aim of the project is to have an overview of a group of kindergarten teachers' understanding of how they think and act in supporting musical creativity in young children. The instruments for data collection include Focus Group Interview, Interview Questinnaire for teachers, and video recording to capture teacher's interaction from the focus group interview. The interview schedule covered three main topics: the definition and examples of musically creative processes, people (adults and children) and products. Different perspectives were expressed by the teachers. They provided rich and a great deal of information about the strategies in promoting musical creativity in children.
