The objective of this study is to examine the content of the domain of ‘music in daily life’ presented in the music textbooks in accordance with the 2015 Revised National Music Curriculum. The patterns of activities related to ‘music and events,’ ‘music and play’ and ‘Korean music in daily life,’ the components of the content in the domain of ‘music in daily life,’ were extracted from nine music textbooks for third and fourth graders in elementary schools for analysis. The findings of the study are summarized as follows. Firstly, activities related to ‘music and events’ were classified into three patterns: ‘planning and preparation’(52%), ‘event participation’(27%) and ‘post event participation’ (21%) under the categories of home events, school events and social events. Reflecting the result that the activity of ‘planning and preparation’ was well realized whereas the activity of ‘event participation’ and the activity of ‘post event participation’ were relatively less realized, there is a need for a narrative method that encourages students to actively participate at events and a need for developing a program for event participation appropriate to the level of students. Secondly, activities related to ‘music and play’ were classified into four patterns: ‘play and exploration’(13.2%), ‘integrated activities of singing and play’(70.3%), ‘play using music for appreciation’(2.2%) and ‘presentation of students’ feelings and thoughts’ (14.3%). The activity of ‘play and exploration’ was realized in terms of promoting students to get interested in music used in various types of play. The activity of ‘play using music for appreciation’ was realized in link with Pogurak(抛毬樂). However, although the activity of ‘presentation of students’ feelings and thoughts‘ is clearly listed in the achievement standards, the frequency of the activity was small and the differentiation of the activity for each textbook was not presented. These indicate a need for improvements for those specific areas. Thirdly, activities related to ‘Korean music in daily life’ were classified into five patterns: ‘sharing of Korean music experience’(5.8%), ‘expansion of Korean music learning in other fields’(23.1%), ‘understanding of the use and roles of Korean music’(48.1%), ‘research on Korean music by media and space’(17.3%) and ‘utilization of Korean music’(5.8%). As the 2015 Revised Music Curriculum has set ‘utilization of music’ and ‘attitude of enjoying music’ as the core concepts of the domain of ‘music in daily life’, the issue of how to make use of Korean music in our life has also become critical. In order to address this issue, students should be first provided with sufficient experience and opportunity to enjoy Korean music at home, schools and society. In addition, activities that can be performed based on students’ experiences should be included in music textbooks.
