In recent years we can see a growing interest in studying creative people from different viewpoints and perspectives, as well as the role and function of the school at all educational levels for the development of creativity. Creativity is approached and studied not only by psychologists, but also by educators, artists, philosophers, biologists, entrepreneurs, among others. In the first two decades of the 21st century, creativity has become synonymous of education, because there is an urgent need to educate our children and young people in a creative way, to change conventional schemes by divergent, creative and original thinking schemes which encourages the study and development of creativity.

The development of creativity depends on the opportunities the child has to experiment with his fantasy and imagination. Listening to the musical story as part of artistic education activities within the school curriculum is a very valuable tool for the development of this potential. The results analysis of the study carried out with 582 children from 1st to 6th grade of a public primary school in the Puebla city, leads to the need to include the musical story as part of the curriculum of artistic education. Despite a great variety of literary-musical heritage that has left us the history, especially in recent years, the musical story, for various reasons, has not yet been explored and used for educational purposes in elementary education. Therefore, this work raises the need to generate specific research lines, focused on the study and development of creativity based on the arts that allow the integral children development in basic education at primary level, demonstrating that the recorded musical story motivated a statistically significant transformation of the average of the creativity score (which increased in a statistically significant way in the post-test) in grades 1, 2, 4 and 5 in specific, and bringing together all The children of all grades (1st-6th) who took the test after the musical story.
