The National Education Philosophy has emphasized efforts to produce creative and innovative individuals to develop the nation. Therefore, creativity should be established early in the development of children through systematic and effective education. Music education in Malaysia is seen one of the way to prove to the public that music has the mean to strengthen and develop human creativity and cognitive. This study involved 45 music teachers who are currently teaching music in primary schools in Malaysia. The results showed that the majority of the music teachers perceive creative thinking as an important outcome of music education and their role as a music teacher involves the facilitation of pupils’ creative thinking skills in music. Music teachers frequently engage with creative `thinking experiences by doing some activities with the pupils such as improvisations with classroom instruments and improvising rhythms to play as body percussion. All the teachers indicated that they had put a lot of effort in applying creative music teaching in the classroom. They also advocated that creative teaching in the classroom could potentially attract pupils to be interested in learning music. Teachers also agreed that the development of the student's interest in music depends on the teachers' expression of interest in these music activities, on the choice of music activities, as well as the contents of the music. This study also discovered that pupils with a musical background could enhance their creativity when given more challenging creative thinking experiences while exploring new musical activities. It is hoped that the findings of this research will offer new ideas and insights and help in the process of improving existing instructional techniques and methods of teaching music in school.
