Creativity is an important domain in music teaching and learning and also recognized as the most difficult discipline to teach. Music educators in Taiwan recently reevaluate the status of music creativity and let it take place in music teaching and learning, although “what to teach” and “how to teach” are still the problems for the teachers. Among various elements in music creativity, language plays a significant role by its unique characteristic. Chinese is known as “one word, one syllable” and belongs to the family of tonal languages therefore the intonation of Mandarin or Taiwanese usually implies intervals and melodies while inappropriate words in a melody can cause misunderstanding. From musicians’ point of view, the application of Mandarin could be a road leading to music creativity, and Kodaly approach makes a logical procedure to help music learners foster their comprehensive musicianship. From cultural context to music literacy, from part to whole, music educators start with Mandarin words and intervals, and step further to phrases in musical form, eventually achieve a complete song in music writing. Mandarin and music play a perfect match in music creativity. This paper presents step-by-step Kodaly teaching procedure in music creativity while characteristics of Mandarin are emphasized.
