The purpose of research aims to present desirable directions of music programs in annex lifelong education centers in universities and of the improvement of them through investigating the status of the institutions.For this purpose, this study let 250 participants in the annex lifelong education centers in 6 universities at Seoul reply a questionnaire, and perform statistic process using SPSS.The conclusions of this study are as follows. First, most of the participants in the lifelong education are housewives, which means there is preponderance in participants ' occupations and genders. Time tables of the programs are biased to daytimes on weekdays. For this reason, the programs do not accommodate participants from various classes. The length of the educational courses is uniquely once a week during the whole 16 weeks of education.Second, considering the curriculum, the participants are generally satisfied with the contents and methods of the courses, and the courses proceed according to the syllabuses. The participants have replied affirmatively about the understanding of the contents of the courses. However, for the use of educational media, only about half of the participants have replied that the educational media are used in class, which suggests a low degree of lecturers'use of the media.Third, the lecturers have replied affirmatively to the questions about enthusiasm and observation of class time, which shows that they lead class faithfully. Furthermore the participants appear to want versatile lecturers with high teaching quality talents rather than to want lecturers with a simple teaching technique and property.Fourth, considering the management of courses, the centers let the applicants participate in the programs without any placement test according to the purpose of lifelong education. Most of the participants reply negatively about the necessity of entrance limitation, but 70% of those participants who replied affirmatively give the reason that classes should be divided in accordance with the level of participants. This means that the participants want level-oriented class but show negative attitude to the entrance test.Fifth, only 60% of the participants have replied that the evaluation is performed, which means that 40% of the courses proceed without evaluation. Thus, more interest should be attached to evaluation for the development of high quality class.Sixth, the participants !X)int out the sides of facilities and programs as the most serious problems. This result conflicts with their anterior replies but suggests that most of the participants are potentially not satisfied with lecture rooms and practice rooms. They also require more various music programs, but have negative attitudes against those programs biased to the part of singing and the performing instrument. Partly, there is need of level-oriented classes and deepened classes such the establishment of advanced level classes.
