Music Is Creatve -- The 2nd Winter Mini-debate 冬季第２のミニ討論 (updated)

Proposition: Music is creative. [very lightly edited]

Pro:

Even if it's the same song, it changes the atmosphere according to the player.

Con:

Music is not creative because it just imitates other's songs.

Pro:

Music is creative. Even if we use a score, we have to think about the expression of the music. For example, when there is forte in a score  we have to think how loud we play it.

Con:

I think music is not creative, for example, singing. When you sing a song which you can't understand the meaning or you can't imagine its background, it's not creative.

Pro:

I think music is creative because it makes many people happy, and we can express ourselves. And,, if you sing you don't need equipment.

Con:

I think music is not creative. For example, studying music theory is not creative. Music theory is the rules of music, so we can't change it.

[I think the students were pretty creative, so I don't want to "fix" their sentences. But they need to study for the tests, so the following is edited heavily to match standard American English:]

Pro:

Even when people perform the same song, there is a creative atmosphere that changes according to the performer.

Con:

But performing music is not really creative because performers just imitate other's songs.

Pro:

But even if we follow a score, we have to think about the expression of the music. For example, when there is a forte in the score, we have to think how loud to play it. That thinking is a creative activity.

Con:

But many people do not sing expressively, and when you sing a song with a meaning that you can't understand or a background that you can't imagine, it's not creative.

Pro:

I think music is creative when it makes many people happy and we can express ourselves. Also, when you sing, you don't need instruments.

Con:

But there is much about music that is not creative. For example, music theory is the rules of music, and we can't change them, so that's not creative.
