The chapter Little music makers & producers: Designing and integrating technological-musical educational scenarios for musical creativity development in an elementary school in Greece was published by Helbling in the international edited volume Liberty–Equity–Creativity: Innovating and Inventing Music in the Classroom. The teaching intervention Little Music Makers & Producers is examined as a framework for developing musical creativity among children aged 8–11.
Activities are organised around music production, maker culture, music programming and technological-musical scenarios. Children take on the role of creators who compose, experiment and refine their own musical ideas, while the study also incorporates their evaluative responses to examine how they understand the creative experience. Musical creativity is considered through authentic musical tasks rather than solely through assessment of a final product, allowing attention to choices, revisions and decisions made during the process. The combination of music production, programming and making expands the ways in which children can develop, transform and present musical ideas within a school environment.
