ABSTRACT
What do the following have in common? A poem entitled ‘Goldfish in my flask’, the third movement from Mahler’s First Symphony, a tree and a stuffed otter. Of course, they are not obviously linked in any way but each plays a role in an innovative programme that I teach at the University of Strathclyde called Musical Creativity Works. Creativity(ies) is high on the agenda in Scotland and yet we have made no systematic attempt to include approaches to creativities in Initial Teacher Education (ITE).
