DESCRIPTION:The primary purpose of this philosophical examination was to d
 efine and place the construct of creative identity in music teaching and l
 earning within the framework of identity. To achieve this goal the author 
 mined the ideas of scholars' work in storytelling\, psychology\, education
 \, and music education philosophy. The life of the music teacher and stude
 nt\, as well as the creative process\, can be considered in terms of being
  a hero's journey\, what Joseph Campbell calls the monomyth\, following th
 e stages: (1) The Ordinary World\, (2) The Call to Adventure\, (3) Refusal
  of the Call\, (4) Meeting With the Mentor\, (5) Crossing the First Thresh
 old\, (6) Tests\, Allies\, Enemies\, (7) Approaching the Inmost Cave\, (8)
  The Ordeal\, (9)The Reward\, (10) The Road Back\, (11) The Resurrection\,
  and (12) Return With the Elixir. Carl Jung's archetypes of the collective
  unconscious can be applied to the identities of music teachers. The autho
 r synthesizes existing work regarding the nature of creativity\, theorizes
  about how the hero's journey metaphor can be a powerful one for music edu
 cation identity theory\, and introduces the construct of music teacher as 
 "producer."\n\nClint Randles is Assistant Professor of Music Education at
