This chapter presents a snapshot of the literature on the empirical study of musical creativity, with a focus on children and adolescents’ processes, and outlines a number of factors that impact the creative process in music and contribute to individual differences in musical creativity outcomes. These factors are then illustrated through the presentation of an empirical study exploring the relationship between the musical processes and products of novice adolescents’ composers. The chapter concludes by outlining the critical role of “intention”, and therefore the role of the composer’s agency, as a fundamental and primary requirement for a successful musical creative process, as well as the critical role of creative opportunities for this process to take place.
