Outline of Final Research Achievements

Focusing on the United States and Australia where conduct pioneering education on multicultural music education, this research revealed the learning contents and approach methods by analyzing and reviewing the music curriculums and various local practices.
As a result, it became clear that the National Core Arts Standards (2014) in the United States has no longer specified the viewpoint of “multicultural” directly but evaluates music metaphysically and emphasizes grasping a music from its intention and context. And, through practice analysis and curriculum analysis in Australia, it was found that the curriculums consistently thinks musical experiences accompanied by musical understanding and aims to nourish musical ability in the level of human nature.
