At all stages of the evolutionary development of society, people aspired to creativity and admired the ingenious creations of masters in various spheres of activity. Numerous works in the fields of philosophy, psychology and pedagogy, as well as art history, are dedicated to highlighting its features. Developing and enriching her knowledge, scientists tried to explain this unique phenomenon. In the field of art, creativity has its own characteristics. In particular, music psychologists and teachers emphasize that in this field of activity it always manifests itself individually. Such a feature of creativity is determined by the tasks of art - to reflect not just the surrounding world, but the world as the artist sees it. Creativity is a process of activity in which qualitatively new material and spiritual values are created. The main criterion that distinguishes creativity from manufacturing or production is the uniqueness of its result. The fruitful flow of the creative process is facilitated by creative abilities - individual characteristics of a person, which are subjective conditions for the successful implementation of a certain type of activity. They are not reduced only to the accumulation of knowledge, abilities and skills, but are manifested in the speed, depth, strength and duration of mastering the means and methods of activity.
