The purpose of this study is to find out programs and teaching methods for developing babies' and infants' musical comprehension ability and to test the developed program based on the musical comprehension ability.
76 babies' and infants' are the objects of this study who are at S Culture Center in Kwang-Ju City. In the previous test, it was performed that the auditory-sense test developed by Gorden(1979) to test the basic auditory ability was used. They had no difference in the basic auditory test. So they were classified into two groups; A experimental group which were input the overall music appreciation programs and a controlled group.
The results of this test has some features.
First, the overall musical activities based on the babies' and infants' music appreciation have a positive influence on their auditory ability. This is a same result as the Kim Chun-Hee's test(1994) which showed infants who were educated the overall music appreciation had high scores.
Second, there is no difference between male and female in the levels of the babies' and infants' auditory ability.
Through this study, it becomes clearer that the overall musical education effects on the babies' and infants' auditory ability.
As a result of this study, several Suggestions are extracted as follows;
First, to develop babies' and infants' auditory ability, the overall musical activities through music appreciation should be performed and generalized.
Second, It's necessary to develop music educational programs with regard for the levels of the babies' and infants' auditory development.
Third, it is reaffirmed that the music appreciation education is truly significant and should educate teachers properly to be efficient at these activities.
Forth, The necessity of systematic teaching methods and the development of programs should be recognized at home. The early music education is surely vital.
In conclusion, the study on this thesis through six weeks shows that throughout the music education method could be realized through proving the practical effect of the music appreciation education. Therefore, it should be required that the further researches focus on the various music appreciation education and should have more deep and extensive studies in this part that haven`t studied before.
