Abstract: Human functioning in a dynamically changing reality requires creativity. In this context, the author draws attention to the potential of music education in building a creative attitude among the young generation. The author also mentions activities that stimulate students’ creative potential through musical activity, the inspiration for which can be found in recognized concepts of musical education, the achievements of R. Steiner, R. Laban, C. Freinet and M. Montessori, as well as in art therapy and pedagogy of play. Referring to the four-aspect paradigm of creativity, the author presents her own proposals for activities (group instrumental improvisation Music That Will Scare the Lion and the socalled "painting music" to Spring from the Four Seasons series by A. Vivaldi) stimulating the progression of creative skills on musical material and their evaluation. Noticing the difficulties and pitfalls in implementing the process of music education aimed at developing creative potential, she calls for changes in the existing school practice in Poland in the field of music education for the young generation.
