GENERAL MUSIC EDUCATION IN UNIVERSITIE OF KHANBAT AND TV-PROGRAMMES: ABOUT NEW APPROACH PROVIDES

Nowadays the problem of general music education is very relevant. The majority of population isn’t acquainted with classical music. The same situation is seen in the Republic of Korea. According to the programme, established by Ministry of Education, the subject “Understanding of Music” was added to Korean universities’ curriculum as an elective course. However, the problem of how to teach this subject emerges. In most cases, they try to teach it as a traditional musical-theoretical discipline, for instance, “Elementary theory of music”. However, this way of teaching doesn’t provide appropriate results as students must be involved in the subject. I have therefore developed a new method of teaching this subject. Since 2006 it has been applied practically in Khanbat university. My students are future lawyers, economists and representatives of other majors. The innovative approach of teaching is mostly based on parts of different TV-programmes where classical music can be heard and which my students constantly watch being integrated into the educational material. I appeal to different genres of media – from commercials to music movies. This new approach provides very good pedagogical results. Students begin to be interested in classical music, become keeon on going to concerts and develop an interest in academic arts.
