The purpose of this investigation was to apply the K-J method to groups consisting of individuals both musically−minded and not, by encouraging dialogue based on a single theme through which all individuals can relate, thereby increasing their collective creative activity. The first study was conducted in March 2009 with JHS Grade 2 students using the theme “Dreams”. The second study was in March 2011 with first grade students using the theme “School”. Applying the K-J method from the viewpoint of creative input, it was clear that both musical students and non−musical students co−operated well to perform the project and to develop the subject matter. Therefore, I would like to consider the positive effects of the K-J method on groups consisting of musically−minded and non −musically−minded subjects, and how those effects work in these groups
