Abstract

This study begins with the issue that existing models of concept-based inquiry processes generally fail to capture the distinctive characteristics of music education, which involves creation, practice, immersion, and expression. The aim of this research is to develop a music class model applicable to concept-based inquiry learning. To achieve this, we examined the features of concept-based curricula and the unique characteristics of music education, analyzed existing related instructional models to derive their features, and then developed a seven-stage instructional model. This model, which incorporates feedback from a music education research group and expert reviews, was applied to music classes centered around the concept of "change". The seven stages include: 'Observing', 'Exploring Contextual Information', 'Refining', 'Immersing and Expressing', 'Meaning Constructing', 'Transferring', and 'Reflecting'. The focus on 'Immersing and Expressing', a core characteristic of music education, is central to this model, with the structure allowing for flexible transitions to 'Immersing and Expressing' from other stages as needed. This model is suitable for forming music concepts and transferring them to other musical areas, thus promoting enriched musical experiences and practical applications in life. It is expected that this model will contribute to discussions on various applications of concept-based inquiry learning in music and practical approaches to instructional methods in the future.
