ABSTRACT

Instructional contents for Korean music creation in the expression area of the middle school music textbooks under the 2015 revised music curriculum mostly centered on making melodies or variational rhythmic patterns using the tori and rhythmic patterns of Korean folk songs. It is believed that, however, educators cannot properly teach the characteristics of Korean music if teaching and learning take place without a full understanding of rhythmic patterns of Korean music and mal-buchimsae corresponding with each rhythmic pattern. Thus, this study examined the compositional techniques embedded in Jeongak <Yeongsanhoesang>, <Dodeuri>, <Gagok>, etc. that were completedthrough having been played, altered, and refined by a good number of performers over several generations, not by one composer. In order to make it applicable to Korean music creation education through the use of the compositional principles of Korean music pieces, this study also examined instructional contents for Korean music creation through the categorization of ‘how to use transposition and modulation,’ ‘how to use constituent notes,’ and ‘how to use rhythmical patterns and beats’ and suggested the instructional examples.
