Abstract

This study starts with the area of arts and humanities, integrates sentiment and rationality, and emphasizes fostering the abilities of creative thinking. Quasi-experimental research was adopted to examine the effects of the Orff music teaching method on creative thinking abilities, and the method was implemented on the experimental group. The Torrance Test of Creative Thinking was used for the pre-test and post-test, and it was found after analyzing the covariance data that the Orff music teaching method has positive influences on children’s creative thinking abilities. The fluency, flexibility, and originality of their creative thinking increased significantly. There are suggestions for future research.
