초록

The aim of this study was to find a way of recovering more desirable humanity through utilizing traditional music in the primary and secondary school music education based on researching concerned literatures. The result of this study can be summarized as follows.
As a corner stone for the future music, traditional music has faithfully played an important role of bridging the past, the present and the future music. A lot of traditional musical pieces could have been transmitted up until today and the traditional musical elements could be revived in the music of next generation for that reason. The traditional music of Korea and China based on Confucius’ idea has headed for the harmony between human beings and all things in nature. This harmony is deeply related with cultivating humanity. It can be said that the traditional music of Korea and China, which is based on the spirit of Confucius and gentle literati who loved music as a means of cultivating humanity, is the valuable source of cultivating humanity. This kind of musical spirit can be found in the ancient Greek music, the music by the Church Fathers of the Middle Ages, the Renaissance music, the church music by M. Luther and others. Naturally this kind of musical spirit can be found in the traditional music of non-European countries and peoples.
It can be said that the power and energy for cultivation humanity are included in the spirit of traditional music of each country. The traditional music of every country and people contains linguistic characteristic which delivers valuable musical meaning for cultivating humanity as well. It is strongly needed to utilize the linguistic characteristics of traditional music and the restoration of traditional music and the spirit in it for the future music education. The conversion of consciousness is strongly needed from the present music education which is concentrated on the Western music for the future music education, too. The music education which only loves and follows the tradition of the Western music is not good. Every traditional music of the earth is contributes to establish the musical diversity of the world. This diversity naturally should be respected. Consequently the diverse humanities of every people which have been generated in the typical context of culture and music, especially in the context of traditional music, also should be respected. All the traditional music including restored traditional music should be the center of the future music education and the traditional music should be taught on an equal footing with the Western music, and in addition to these we should teach the Western music as the master of it. Students can get a chance to form the humanity of her/his tradition, then. The international mutual assistance is indispensable to accomplish the aim of recovering humanity through the traditional music education.
