ENThe article presents the research results of the project ‘Development of Senior Pupils’ Musical Creativity Using Musical Computer Technologies (MCT)’ (No. MIP-13081), which was carried out by groups of scientists and financed by Science Council of Lithuania. In the introductory part of the article the concept of creativity is presented, the factors influencing it are discussed together with the possibilities of MCT in development of musical creativity. The main part of the article introduces the methodology and the results of the research on the development of senior pupils’ musical creativity using MCT in a music lesson. During the research 20 music lessons conducted by 10 music teachers were observed. The research revealed that the greatest influence on senior pupils’ musical creativity had the experience in application of MCT. Pupils who accumulated some experience were given freedom of creation. Meanwhile education of the ones who did not have it, was planned consequently presenting creative tasks from the simple ones ( f.e. create rhythmic accompaniment) to quite complex tasks (to create a musical composition consisting of several parts). Evaluation criteria in most cases were not named, though in the process of creation pupils were provided with suggestions on how to improve their musical compositions. Most often the Magix Music Maker programme was used for creation. [From the publication]
