Summary/Abstract: Topic discussed is the theory of flow and its significance in the context of the teaching of musical improvisation in elementary music education. The theme is closely related to musical psychology and deals with the experiences, feelings and psychological conditions associated with interpretation. The flow condition helps to cope with stress situations, increases concentration and brings joy or feelings of musical activity, thereby improving the quality of life. It is a musical improvisation and is a suitable form to achieve a flow condition. This is one of the important arguments for introducing music improvisation into the music school syllabus.
