Music had been very close to all people's mind and behavior. Through music lesson, we will continuously teach the students about the attitude to respect our culture.
The subject of this study is to propose the efficient teaching method of Korean Traditional song, based on Professor Kodaly study. Professor Kodaly study is to emphasize the needs of traditional music song by own language, and also to teach the student about the attitude to respect own culture. Traditional music will be easily absorbed to teenager who is sensitive and vulnerable, and this will help them to be more proud of own country, own blood.
In Year 2007 new curriculum, it emphasize the education of Korean Traditional music. However, music is not only minor subject to teach but also Korean traditional music is out of interest. So in school, they only teach some classic music from foreign countries. Most students consider that music is in boundary of classic music and itself is very boring and dull. The truth is that Korean education is only focused on university entrance and we treat Korean traditional music as the least important. Now it's time to let students know how Korean traditional song was developed and progressed. We will propose the method through music lesson.
We studied Professor Kodaly's life & philosophy, and also found out how to apply his study in real lessons. We made a teaching guideline for song 'Han O-bak-Nyun' (Korean East Traditional song), based on Kodaly study. This guideline is focused on activity of singing, playing, creating, listening which were proposed in 7th Curriculum, rather than just lesson of theory and singing. Also this guideline helps to practice in part of activity, understanding, living as well.
If this method follows correctly, this will give the chance to participate in more activity for traditional music and students will be more interested in traditional music as well. Based on this method, we need to organize various musical study program and training for better understanding & attention. It's music teachers' tasks to continuously study and maintain our culture.
