The cultivation of innovative talents has always been an important strategic goal in the field of education. Creation is deemed as the basis of innovation. Especially for the cultivation of college students' innovative ability, thinking is the most important cognitive process to promote creativity, while divergent thinking is at the core of innovation ability. With the “creativity” theory proposed by Guilford as the theoretical basis of this article, an empirical test was carried out for the operable educational program devoted to the cultivation of innovative thinking proposed by him. It proves that music has a certain relationship with divergent thinking ability in innovative education. This conclusion provides a new way to explore and cultivate innovative talents in a more scientific way. Keywords: Music education, Innovative thinking, Influence Mechanism DOI : 10.7176/JEP/10-3-17
