A Study on the Plans of Music Education through Martin Seligman's Positive Psychology

Objectives For the purpose of restoring the value of music education and forming citizens who can express the arts as a society Positive psychology was reviewed and a plan to apply it to music education was presented. Methods The background of the emergence of positive psychology and the concepts and contents of Optimism Learning, Strengths Development, Well-being Theory, and Flourish, which constitute positive psychology, were explored, typified, and considered. Based on this, a plan that can be used for music education was presented. Results As a result first, the degree of optimism of learners for music classes is identified in the form of a basic survey, second, it can be used as a survey of learners' musical strengths, third, a method of reconstructing music classes by reflecting on strengths, and fourth, a way to examine learners' happiness after class using the well-being theory was presented in the form of checks and descriptions. Conclusions In the current educational environment, the proposal of a music education plan using positive psychology for educational practice for learners to discover music emotion and make it strength through music education shows another possibility.
