"The Production of Broad and Strict Senses in the Discourse on Musical Creativity and their Influences on the Self-concept of Musicians as Creative," authored by musician Luciano Nazario and psychology students Leonardo Ultramari and Benjamin Pacce, has been published in the journal Psychology of Music (UK), one of the most internationally impactful journals in the field of music. In this article, we present an analysis of the belief and value systems that individuals apply regarding musical creativity. Through the perspective of discourse analysis proposed by Fairclough, we seek to understand how individuals construct the strict and broad senses of creativity and how these senses impact their self-conceptions as creative subjects.

The article "Freedom as a Trigger for Musical Creativity," written by musician Luciano Nazario, has been published in the journal Research Studies in Music Education (UK), ranked sixth in the world in terms of impact factor in the field of music. This article presents compelling data indicating that freedom in music can stimulate the creative development of students, minimizing dysfunctional thoughts, and promoting a more positive self-concept.

In our recent studies, we have found that there are many situations that can instil values and influence individuals' creative behaviour. For this reason, tracking, identifying values, thoughts, and beliefs that students bring with them is essential in a pedagogy that seeks knowledge through consideration of the subjective constructions that individuals carry with them. This research group proposes an innovative pedagogical approach by presenting Beck's cognitive model as a tool that will help students reflect on and question any dysfunctional thoughts they may have about their musical abilities. The article 'Beck's Cognitive Model as a Tool for Identifying Beliefs Related to Creative Inhibition in Music,' written by Luciano Nazario, Alex Martins, and Eduardo Martins, is available in the leading music education journal in Brazil: the journal of the Brazilian Association of Music Education (ABEM), in volume 27, issue number 43.

Published in December 2018, the article discusses the Grounded Theory methodology and its application in music. The use of this methodology in the field of music is still uncommon in Brazil. Access the link below to read the article:
