Abstract

Objectives This study examines the problems in the contents of high school textbook Music Appreciation and
 Criticism, and proposes improvement directions accordingly.
 Methods For this purpose, the 2015 revised textbook Music Appreciation and Criticism's unit composition, organization,
 and Gugak contents were analyzed.
 Results The problems of high school music appreciation and criticism education are, first, that Gugak is not universally
 covered in music. Second, the majority of music pieces overlapped with general Music textbooks, and
 third, the fact that the description of Gugak was remarkably lacking compared to Western music history, and
 fourth, there was no concept and critical awareness of Gugak criticism. Since music appreciation and criticism education
 is a special subject for students majored in music, it should have more advanced content than general
 Music textbooks, but there was room to instill musical prejudice.
 Conclusions The improvement direction for these problems is, first, to understand Korean traditional music
 universally. Second, a critical mind about the criticism of Gugak will be preceded. Third, future-oriented education
 with the context of the times was to be pursued. Fourth, appreciation music was to be presented in a more diverse
 way and learning contents were to be converged. When these suggestions for improvement are fully considered
 and improved, the appreciation and criticism of Gugak can also develop in a creative direction.
