Abstract
Encouraging musical creativity in primary schools in Montenegro and Slovenia is determined by the course programs for music education, according to which music teaching in two countries is realised through three musical activities: performing, listening and creating. The similarities between the two primary education systems are characterised by the nine-year duration of primary school, which is divided into three threeyear cycles. Programme for the course Music Culture in Montenegro, dating from 2003, has been developed in collaboration with Slovenian experts. Thus, creation, as an activity, was clearly defined and has been represented in all the revised and new programs that followed. The aim of this paper was to analyse the representation of creation as an activity through which some of the important goals and learning outcomes are achieved in both general primary education systems. The obtained results show that this activity is more concretely represented in the Slovenian programme, and that a higher level of systematicity in its definition has been achieved. Comparative analysis can also serve as a guideline for future improving the programmes and a clearer definition of what is meant by musical creativity in the teaching of music in primary schools of two educational systems.
