context. The author sheds light on political, economic,
sociological and cultural influences on the history of Korean
middle school music education between the years of 1945 and 2005.
This book divides the history of Korean school music curriculum
into four periods: (1) Immediate Post War Period (1945-1960); (2)
National Development (1960-1979); (3) Stability Period (1980-1987);
and (4) Towards the 21st Century (1988-2005). Each period is
contextualized along political and socioeconomic lines, and
includes a thorough discussion on the musical philosophies and
repertoire used in the specific time frames. Adding a vivid
dimension to the school music experiences across time, the book is
also analyzed the content of schools songs contained in textbooks.
Music educators should be responsive to this issue, and the book
discusses some interesting issues that are relevant to musicians
from different parts of the world.
