Creativity is important for a person as well as the mean of survival and adaptation in an always changing world according the speed and character of changes. Creativity is also related with permanent looking for personal individuality, personalization of authentic human nature, resistance to the deprivation of individuality under the uniform mass influence, pragmatism and standardization.

The fields of musical activities in which creativity could be revealed were defined: interpretation, composition and evaluation. On basis of works of music pedagogues, practice of musical education in Lithuania, practical experience of the author some empirical features were determined. The result of investigation is the theoretical and empirical model of creativity in musical activity, which is presented at the end of the article. [From the publication]
