ABSTRACT

This study is for violin beginners to learn firm basics and raise their interest and educational efficiency through visual materials and arts activities by practicing experiments analyzing their effect. Many violin teachers especially feel limitations when they teach beginners. This can be solved by using visual ingredients which students can feel violin intimate with. Children’s arts education references have also been referred to. This study has been conducted to students whom teachers of Seokyeong Music School, including myself, teach in a youth orchestra and in public schools. These teachers participated in conducting this study. The participating teachers and I collected and analyzed the results from students and teachers who have participated in this experiment. As a result of this study, it has been found that arts activities help students express students’ creativity and the sense of arts. Teachers have been able to find student’s hidden talent besides the sense of music and began to encourage their potential. These activities as well as visual materials and teachers’ encouragement have raised their concentration and interest in instruments. Thus, after students have utilized the products of these arts activities, their technical skills have been improved. Through this study, integrated education, which is that visual materials and arts activities combine to music education that mainly needs the auditory sense, can be implemented. It is hoped that this study will be able to be utilized as a basic method for developing contents of effective instrumental classes in various educational fields where group lessons are conducted.
