The diploma thesis is divided into two parts. The first part summarizes the theoretical knowledge of musical-psychological categories, which also includes musicality. The next chapter of the theoretical part is also focused on this theme. The last chapter is creativity and its characteristics and specifics in use in primary school. In the practical part was used the method of parallel group technique. Twenty two pupils took part in the experimental teaching and the same number of pupils represented the control group. The respondents were from two 4th grade classes of primary school. Moreover, in the practical part there is an analysis of the results of empirical research, which was realized by collective screening of musicality. Research has shown that pupils developed through creative intonation achieve better musicality than pupils trained in conventional music education. KEYWORDS musicality, musical creativity, creative intonation, screening of musical creativity, music education, primary school, experimental teaching

My thesis focuses on role of musical tools in pre-school education. It explores their history as well as historical significance but also current situation on the market and their use in practice. My goal is to define the very notion of musical tool and set general categorization in relation with musical capabilities it helps to develop. My work also maps the availability of musical tool in selected pre-schools and their use in these environments. The next task is to research how the tools designed by children themselves are helping develop their own musicality, especially those tools trying to visualize basic musical elements, while guiding them towards creativity. This was achieved by observation of two groups of fifteen children from age 4 to 6. KEYWORDS musical tools, musical creativity, musicality, pre-school education, pre-school children.

The dissertation entitled Children's Musical Creativity in the Context of Pedagogical Creativity focuses on formal pre-primary music education. A part of this education is the development of children's musical creativity influenced by their teachers. Therefore, this research problem is viewed from a dual perspective; one of pre-school children and the other of pre-primary educators. A theoretical part of this thesis describes children's musical creativity in the music education context o in terms of historical, international, and national development. Similarly, this thesis deals with the research context and presents constructed tests of children's musical creativity. Subsequently, the terms of musical creativity, children's musical creativity, and pedagogical creativity are defined. The children's musical creativity is viewed from the perspective of internal and external influencing factors. Finally, the role of the pre-primary pedagogue and their creative pedagogical work in the development of children's musical creativity is characterized in more detail. A practical part of this thesis contains a description of a research project. The first part of the research is devoted to musically creative experimental teaching of pre-school children, which also includes musical creativity testing, musical...

Tato diplomová práce se zabývá rozvojem hudební tvořivosti žáků pěveckého kroužku prvního stupně ZŠ. Věnuje se nejprve problematice obecné tvořivosti a jejímu významu a důležitosti pro život člověka. Dále podrobněji specifikuje téma tvořivého myšlení, od něhož odvozuje termín hudebně tvořivého myšlení. Neopomíjí nepostradatelnou roli učitele hudební výchovy, navrhuje systematický metodický postup a nabízí rovněž několik konkrétních typů cvičení vhodných k rozvoji hudební tvořivosti žáků. V rámci výzkumné části pak zkoumá a porovnává úroveň rozvoje tvořivých schopností žáků pěveckého kroužku prvního stupně ZŠ v Čerčanech (ve školním roce 2017/2018 a 2018/2019) v souvislosti s osvojovanými písněmi (jejich obsahy a hudebně výrazovými prostředky). Cílem práce bylo především potvrzení skutečnosti, že výuka s využitím hudebně tvořivých prvků má zásadní vliv na rozvoj hudebních schopností žáků - včetně schopností tvořivých.

In diesem Artikel wird das Konzept des Tonsatzseminars an der Technischen Universität Dortmund vorgestellt, das Brücken zur Komposition bauen will. Jedes Semester endet mit einem Tonsatz-Konzert, das von Studierenden mit eigenen Kompositionen bestritten wird. Die Stücke entstehen in den Tonsatzseminaren. Seminar und zugehöriges Konzert sind jeweils einem bestimmten Thema gewidmet. Die Tonsatzseminare wurden umfassend dokumentiert: Die Stücke aller Teilnehmer*innen liegen schriftlich vor, wurden im Konzert aufgenommen. Begleitet wird der Kurs in den letzten Jahren von musikpsychologischen Tests zum Kreativitäts-Selbstkonzept, die Datenmaterial für statistische Auswertungen geliefert haben. Vor dem Hintergrund musikästhetischer Diskussion im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert hinsichtlich der Anteile von ›Inspiration‹ und ›Arbeit‹ am Kompositionsprozess werden musikpsychologische Untersuchungen zur musikalischen Wahrnehmung (Carl Stumpf) und neurowissenschaftliche Grundlagen der Kreativitätsforschung dargestellt. Diese Forschungen werden im Hinblick auf ihre pädagogische Bedeutung für das Tonsatzseminar reflektiert. / In this essay, we present the concept of the Tonsatz seminar at TU Dortmund University. This seminar aims to include the idea of composition. Each series of lessons concludes with a concert with students performing their own compositions created in the Tonsatz seminars. The seminars and the recorded concert are dedicated to a specific topic. All scores and the recordings are available. In recent years, the seminars have been accompanied by psychological tests on a self-concept of creativity providing data for statistical evaluations. Against the background of music-aesthetic discussions in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries regarding the relation between the concepts of »inspiration« and »work« in the compositional process, music psychological studies on musical perception (Carl Stumpf), and neuroscientific foundations of creativity are presented. These insights are reflected in terms of their pedagogical significance for the Tonsatz seminar in compositional techniques.
