Abstract

The objective of this work was to analyze the relationship between creativity, attention and its repercussion in academic results in professional music education. For this, a sample of 84 students between 12 and 18 years of age (M = 14.79, SD = 2.29) who study Professional Education in a public and regulated Conservatory of Music has been selected. The Creative Intelligence Test (CREA, Corbalán et al., 2003) and the Attention Test (d2; Brickenkamp, 2004) were used as measuring instruments. Positive and statistically significant correlations were found between (a) attention and creativity and (b) musical attention and academic results. On the other hand, negative and statistically significant correlations were found between creativity and musical academic performance. After the results can be established preventive programs or enhancers of creativity and care, in order to encourage the totality of conservatory students reach their maximum potential and high performance, as these are the reflection of a more effective learning.
