The Music Education Graduate Curriculum Inventory(MEGCI) was developed for investigating the curriculum satisfaction level and the perceived solutions to problems of music education majors in Korean graduate schools of education. The participants indicated that the professor's expertise, and the professor's teaching, and the usefulness of each class were perceived as the most influential factors impacting the curriculum satisfaction level of music education majors in Korean graduate schools of education.
