Abstract: The purpose of the study was to identify the difficulty of handling the music aspect of creative art and design at the junior High School in the Kabre South District, Ashanti Region. The research design was a descriptive survey design. The target population were 16 teachers from the junior High School in the Kabre South District, Ashanti Region. The primary instrument for data collection used was an interview. It was found out that the majority of the teachers at the junior high school level have degrees in other subjects other than music and this has affected their teaching of music because they are not specialist teachers. Major challenges teachers encounter when teaching music and dance include lack of teaching implements, negative attitude of teachers towards the subject, and lack of textbooks. It was recommended that there should be a workshop on creative art and design with more attention given to Music and Dance.
Keywords: Music and dance, creative art and design, Generalist programme, Specialist programme (GES), Ministry of Education (MoE), National Council for Curriculum Assessment (NaCCA).
