Abstract
The current project aim was to analyze the relationship between creativity and attention and its impact on academic performance in professional music studies. For that purpose a sample of 84 students has been selected between 12 and 18 years old (M = 14.79; SD = 2.29) from a public Conservatory of Music. The measuring instruments were Test de Inteligencia Creativa (CREA; Corbalán et al. 2003) and Test de Atención (d2; Brickenkamp, 2004). Positive and statistically sinificant correlations were found between (a) attention and creativity and (b) attention and musical academic performance. In contrast, negative and statistically significant correlations were found between creativity and musical academic achievement. After the results, preventive programs or programs to boost creativity and attention can be established in order to encourage all conservatory students to accomplish their full potential and high academic performance, as they are a reflection of an effective learning.
