Creativity in Education and Neuroscience

The two authors are members of punk rock trio the Eruptörs.Both also teach in higher education -one in popular music, and the other in management and marketing.Writing from experience in the Eruptörs, we present a case study of the band, and draw on theoretical perspectives from our respective, intersecting fields to explore the Eruptörs' entrepreneurship, collaborations, networks, and creativities in the "DIY" underground punk rock scene.The paper provides cross-disciplinary insights into internal and external cultures of the Eruptörs.Proposing this as a teaching case, the authors conclude that students, scholars, and practitioners in music education, popular music studies, and related disciplines and fields involving entrepreneurship could benefit from engaging in reflexive and entrepreneurial practice which explores and incorporates ideas, models, and syntheses discussed in this paper.
