루소의 자연주의와 현대 음악교육 사상

Abstract

Modern music education has vastly influenced by the thoughts of Emile Jaques-Dalcroze, Zoltan Kodály, and Carl Orff. Since 20th century their philosophy on music education and educational method became a standard of world’s music education with USA as a center. In Korea, too, from USA’s reign to revised curriculum in 2007, their music educational idea have greatly affected educational ideology and curriculum, educational content, educational method, and publishing the textbook. Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s thought on naturalistic music education is reflected in modern music educator’s education ideology and method. Jaques-Dalcroze from Switzerland used physical activity as a music rhythm. Kodály from Hungary developed music teaching based on child development. Orff from Germany combined music and physical activity and pursued music education through drama music. They have a different interests on some musical facts and educational activity but they have a common in putting a value in a child-centered approach to teaching, education regarding to a developmental stage, education by a direct participation and experience. This is a result from Rousseau’s nature education which applies passive education at early childhood and childhood, and active education after adolescent period. Rousseau suggest big issues to modern music education methods which is led by a teacher unilaterally in a limited space with desks and chairs.
