This research has aimed to verify the effect of musical tea ceremony play program on child character development. The subjects have been aimed at the experiment group of 51 children who wanted to participate in the character education program through children music and tea ceremony play program among 5-year old kindergarten children of B kindergarten in Chuncheon, Gangwon-do. As for the measurement scale, evaluation sheet about the basic life styles of Korea Education Institute(1995) was reconstructed by the researcher appropriate for children character behavior based on previous researches of children character education. It is composed of total 30 questions for pre and post questionnaire; 18 items of parent observation about children character behavior and 12 items of teacher observation notes about children character. T-test has been performed for data analysis to examine the effect of musical tea ceremony activity program on children character behavior. Second, empirical analysis has been done in significant level P<.05, P<.01, P<.001 and data has been analyzed using SPSSWIN 12.0 program for statistical processing. The results are as follows. First, T-test of children character behavior degree after programs depending on groups has been performed with covariate of children character behavior degree to verify the improvement effect of children character behavior degree. As a result, there are significant differences in all 6 factors regarding the effect parents recognize on children character behaviors. Holistic self-esteem showed the highest mark(t=5.309, p<.001) and social responsibility education(t=5.087, p<.001), the education of sympathy consideration behavior(t=4.370, p<.001), patience education(t=3.201, p<.01), creative inquiry(t=1.970, p<.05) in order; generally it was high as seen t=5.512, p<.001. This suggests that the program of musical tea ceremony has a meaningful effect on children character education. Second, the effects of musical tea ceremony program teachers recognize on children character behaviors have significant differences in all factors as a whole. Depending on factors, social responsibility education had the highest mark(t=-4.052, p<.001) and sympathy consideration education(t=-3.806, p<.001), creative inquiry(t=-3.583, p<.001), holistic self-esteem(t=3.600, p<.001), patience education(t=-3.381, p<.001) in order; it was high as t=-4.091, p<.001 as a whole. This implies that the play program of musical tea ceremony has a meaningful influence on children character education. Third, when it comes to the effect of musical tea ceremony play program on children character behaviors, the result of parents recognition in <Table 7> showed the highest mark in holistic self-esteem (t=5.309, p<.001), while teachers did so in social responsibility education(t=-4.052, p<.001). On the other hand, parents' recognition was lowest in creative inquiry(t=1.970, p<.05) and teachers' recognition was lowest in patience education(t=-3.381, p<.001). This huge differences of recognition between parents at home and teacher in kindergarten come from parents' and teachers' and recognition on education. Korea now has the majority of hang tea ceremony programs with theories and forms but this research has considerable significance in that it united, introduces and applied music, character and tea ceremony each other.
