ABSTRACT

Instrumental music is not easy to deal with the appreciation education because the musical content is highly abstract. Moreover, since the phrase "appreciate music" is often used in schools, there is a tendency to immediately encounter difficult instrumental music as objects of appreciation rather than objects of listening. This study highlights the terminological relation between appreciation and listening and suggests that teachers make use of narrative materials which enable to show the musical structure of the piece. As exemplified in Beethoven's "Fate" Symphony, the value of the work can be appreciated by examining the entire flow of the piece. In order to lead listeners to musical imagnation, there are already some narrative materials in visual forms for this piece, but pictures tend to hinder students from chasing musical expression. Therefore, the researcher instantiates how to develop narrative materials in wording. This approach enhances cohesiveness of listening to music and contributes to conducting comprehensive appreciation of understanding, enjoying, and evaluating.
