Abstract
This research explores the content development, execution, observation, and assessment of cultural arts education programs, in this case a series of orchestra educational performances combined with curation. The purpose is to determine the best direction for cultural arts education performances in school environments. From April to November 2019, a 30-member orchestra performing on classical instruments visited various types of schools in Seoul. The target schools included six elementary schools and two special schools, with a total of 2,095 students.
The project was executed in three phases: planning, execution, and assessment. Planning began with program organization and content development, defining the participants, and repertoire selection. Schools and performance dates were then selected and the logistics for the orchestra visits were determined. The orchestra then held school performances four each in the first and second halves of the academic year. Assessment began with analysis of the field response, the appropriateness of the content, and any adjustments made during performances, followed by additional interviews with repertoire selection committee members, advisors, managers, and performers.
Positive impacts of the Moving Instrument Museum project included improvements in students’ understanding of classical music, educational effects of school-visit performances, demonstration of diversity in classical music, and provision of field experiences for potential cultural arts educators. More work is needed on the development of initiatives to diversify school visit-oriented cultural arts performances and to improve the educational content and value of music appreciation programs.
