ABSTRACT

In 2009 Revised national curriculum, which will be applied from 2011, the reduction of music subject is expected because of a strengthened education system focusing on college entrance exams which is caused by the expansion of an intensive course completion system and 20% increase or decrease of instructional hours, music class is an elective choice subject in high school while music is integrated with fine art as a subjects cluster. Although instructional hours per week of music are little and music is not a subject for the entrance exam, it is an important subject for students` holistic growth. Such as subject has to be managed by fixing instructional hours except for 20% increase or decrease. The intensive course completion system has to be applied suitably to trait of subject. So the Korean education would not be sunk into the education system that focuses only on college entrance exams. Nevertheless, it is essential for music teachers to do constant efforts and research for saving professionalism of music education in school site as a music education specialty program for music education.
