ABSTRACT

In the study, I investigated two things for the improvement of the teaching learning method in the primary music education. The one was to research the tendency of music education studies by literature, the other to clarify general trends that have introduced computer and synthesizer into the music instruction. For this purpose, I researched the present situation and future expectations of music instruction method which is recognized among teachers in Korea and Japan. In the research, survey tools were questionnaire. On the basis of it, I devised a teaching model which introduced computer into the music introduction. Findings of the study are as follows: 1. In the music education, the teaching method was concentrated upon the singing guidance. 2. Personal computers were diffused in school and children, Therefore, coursware has took great development and software of DTM was put into practical use. 3. In Korea and Japan, teachers have very similar recognizations for the practical use of computer and synthesizer in the music education. But they recognized imperfectly the relations among music education and computer. 4. In Korea and Japan, Teachers desired to operate dexterously digital machinery and tools as the object of self - innovation. 5. As the teaching model with computer, I suggested The process of computer utilization in the music education and tentative plan I, II. 6. There were good findings by tentative plan I. That is, we could: 1) achieve small grouping and individualization in the music learning. 2) teach correctly such musical competences of teacher and children as musical time pattern, interval, rhythm, and harmony. 3) make children participate willingly in the music learning who did not have self - confidence in music. 4) lead children to forming good habits of teaching themselves at school and home.
