When designing creative teaching approach in music education, the approach itself should be student-oriented, and topics should be developed from students’ life experiences. Teachers would emphasize what process is, accept various ways of presentation, facilitate group work, and revise process procedure depending on the situations of the activity. 2. The goal for using creative teaching approaches in music should work through creative oriented music instruction in order to stimulate students’ interest in music, to enhance students' understanding in musical concepts and to develop the ability to explore and the think. 3. The curriculum activities should be arranged according to the degree of difficulty in teaching materials. It should be organized from easy to difficult, from simple to complex and thus from the implementations to understand the concepts. 4. Creative Oriented teaching activities should be integrated into various teaching contents: musical knowledge, vocal instruction, musical performance instruction, and music appreciation; all integration should not be implemented in one lesson. 5. Through free and flexible guided practice in the teaching activities, students will learn effectively. During the activities, teachers would encourage and compliment on the creative performance of the students, guide students to perform actively, and thus to create some opportunities for learning by demonstrations and reflections. Finally during the sharing activities, teachers would give appropriate feedback and compliments and accept different opinions expressed by the students to enhance their sense of fulfillment and participating in the activities. 6. Multiple evaluation methods should be used for the creative teaching approaches in music. Evaluation should focus on the process not the result and on the uniqueness and originality of the creations. Assessment standards and teacher’s teaching objectives should be closely linked together. Based on the above conclusions, this study made numerous of recommendations for music education and future research.
