This article examines modern pedagogical technologies for developing creative abilities in children through the process of learning to play musical instruments. Emphasis is placed on the integration of interactive and creative methods in music lessons, particularly for primary and secondary school students. It analyzes the role of improvisation, composition, and digital tools in enhancing musical thinking, emotional expressiveness, and motivation. The study highlights how creative approaches not only improve musical proficiency but also nurture a student’s personality, fostering problem-solving skills and artistic imagination. Empirical data collected from music classes is used to evaluate the effectiveness of creative music instruction.
