A Critical Study on the One-Line Picture Music Score in ‘Pleasure Life’ as Integrated School Subjects of Elementary School

The score of music must have the ease and accuracy in conveying musical expression. The picture scores shown in the integrated curriculum of ‘Pleasure Life’ of the elementary school curriculum consider the ease of musical expression relatively well, but there are somewhat lacking in the accuracy of expression. That is because the presentation of musical elements is not sufficient. Music elements appear in the length, height, harmony, speed, form, and color of sound based on the physical phenomenon of sound. As such, the picture score must contain the characteristics of these musical elements well. Although it is certainly difficult for the ‘Pleasure Life' textbook for the lower grades of elementary school to fully consider these musical elements, the length and height of sound, which are the most basic musical elements, must be accurately marked. If these are ignored, it is greatly hesitated about how to express the music. No matter how much the picture score is for the lower grades, especially the sense of length and height of sound must be sufficiently developed in the lower grades of elementary school, so only this criterion must be clearly presented. This is because the acquisition of musical senses and concepts during this period has a great influence on the subsequent expansion of musical expression ability and musical growth. Therefore, the picture score for the lower grades of elementary school should be presented with sufficient consideration for sensory feelings along with basic musical elements such as the length of the note, the height of the note, the color of the note.
