These days there are so many music school graduates. There are also many private music education institutions. Therefor the competition in music private education market very tight. In old days people working in education music market had made big money and many parents wanted their girls and boys to learn piano and other musical instruments. However recently birth ratio in Korea has been dramatically dropped and not many parents wants their kids to learn musical instruments because of economic depression and negative music market. Eventually the size of the music education market is decreased dramatically and the competition in music education market is very hot. Therefor without the upgraded management system it is hard to expect over performance in music education market aspects. The purpose of this study was to find out what are the main factors that affect on business performance of the music education institutions. The main areas that researched in this study were success factors, reason of the start-up, and factors of management success. The research was conducted on the owners of the music education institutions. The factors that affect on the outcome of the business performance were diverse. Therefore the management of music education institutions also need the systematical analysis on the location, environmental factors, people nearby areas, differentiated market strategy and other analysis the same as corporate and business management.

The purpose of this study was to convergently investigate the perception of home-visiting music therapy services. For this, a survey was conducted on 74 persons divided into two groups, which are pre-service music therapists attending the graduate schools of music therapy and professional music therapists with certifications. As a result, first, the awareness of home-visiting music therapy service was lower than that of preexisting home-visiting services, but the necessity and expected effect were similar to them. Second, in the operational plans, there was shown a higher ratio of 40-minute services twice a week held by governmental or public organizations. Third, there were significant differences in subitems of trends and expected effects of the home-visiting music therapy service according to whether or not to hold a certification and to have experiences in providing the services. This study could be expected to provide basic data for the home-visiting music therapy being utilized as a field of music therapy. Based on the study, the establishment of practical service strategy could be suggested.

Recently, since there appear the quality improvement in both educational and cultural level at the college campus also, thus the lecture room is requiring by the students where the intimacy degree among the students can be raised, also a smoother interaction between the professor and the student is able to be generated. Particularly in case of College of Music, the Practical Technique Training Rooms such as Orchestral Music Room, Pipe Music Concert Room, Music-Part Practice Room are more important for the interaction between Professor and Student or Student attends at the lesson, than the lecture rooms of any other colleges. Likewise, while such music practice room should be designed with consideration of the acoustic characteristics, so as to obtain the feel as if hear it performs at a music hall, but since the most of music practice room was designed with consideration of the convenience of construction work and its economical efficiency only, it has been exposed with many acoustic defects after the completion of construction. Therefore in this thesis, it has grasped the physical acoustic characteristics on the object of the two orchestral music rooms, pipe music concert room and ensemble practice room, among the newly constructed practice rooms of the Music College, W University, and it is considered that it could be utilized as the fundamental data on the base of this material when designing of the college music practice room, for the future.

Added value of music industry in Korea is not distributed and calculated properly, and this obstacle brings various problems in a creative environment. Meanwhile, a new business model such as Open Collaboration, Crowdsourcing and platform that makes decisions and innovation from external resources has been appeared in commercial area. This new model like a composer delivers to consumers directly through Youtube.com, and multi collaboration is applied to the music industry, and it enables a new type of mechanism for creation, distribution, division, and calculation of music. However there are not enough empirical study of the music market because existing relative researches has been centered around fundamental concepts and application methodologies. This research defines Open Collaboration Platform in the music industry, and studies affecting factors of Participation Intention for example Justice, Information System Quality and Perceived Value. For a survey we apply PLS(Partial Least Square) to analyse Equity, Information System Quality and structural equation between Perceived Value and Participation Intention. Analysis results show Distributive Justice and Procedural Justice affects Platform Trust, and Service Quality, Economical Value and Emotional Value affects Platform Usefulness. Also Platform Trust and Platform Usefulness affects Platform Participation Intention. We discussed academic and practical implication based on research results.

Ear training is said to be the ability to measure sound either in terms of musical scale or cord by listening to music acoustically. This is the most basic subject and the most practical technique in any music genre; also, the most crucial factor for individuals who are studying music. Ear training is an important skill to develop when learning to play the piano, or learning any kind of musical instrument. It is also the key factor in a successful music education. Everyone can develop their musical ability if ear training is provided during childhood. The aim of this study is to develop an ear training system whereby beginners or children can learn music with ease in terms of computer access which is part of their daily life. This system is devised so that children can practice ear training easily. This system is also beneficial to others who plan to major in music.

In 21C, computer is having a powerful influence on every fields. As music field is no exception, the computer music is regarded as a next generation music. Especially the focus of 21st century's music is now moving from MIDI of 20th century to the Realtime interactive music in which computer is used as a practical instrument. Most european countries and America are doing a lot of research and performing these music. But in Korea, known as a fairly strong IT country, there is no enough perception of the importance of this new outcome of the new media era, and introduction of this music is slow as well. In this paper, we suggest the possibility of using the new way of composition by realtime interactive music in Korea. This can be a strong merit for Korean composers who want to use Korean instruments which were limited to be used as international instruments because of their restricted registers, techniques and so on.

In this paper, we propose a system that recommends music through tempo-oriented music classification and sensor-based human activity recognition. The proposed method indexes music files using tempo-oriented music classification and recommends suitable music according to the recognized user's activity. For accurate music classification, a dynamic classification based on a modulation spectrum and a sequence classification based on a Mel-spectrogram are used in combination. In addition, simple accelerometer and gyroscope sensor data of the smartphone are applied to deep spiking neural networks to improve activity recognition performance. Finally, music recommendation is performed through a mapping table considering the relationship between the recognized activity and the indexed music file. The experimental results show that the proposed system is suitable for use in any practical mobile device with a music player.

Assuming that not all background music in advertising function as effective retrieval cues for the advertised messages, this study proposes that we should be able to distinguish the retrieval cue effect of music from the simple ad exposure effect. This study tries to identify which specific characteristics of music are related to the retrieval cue effect. Our experiment focuses on congruency and familiarity of music as key characteristics of music which affect the effectiveness of the music's role as a retrieval cue for the advertised messages. We used four groups of subjects to test the retrieval cue effect of the background music. Each group was exposed to one of the four different types of background music and was again sub-divided into an experimental and a control group (i.e., a total of eight independent sub-groups were included in the experiment.) The first two sub-groups were exposed to the experimental advertisement with the background music of high congruency and high familiarity. After the ad exposure, the background music was provided as a retrieval cue to only one of the two sub-groups. Comparison of the memory performance between the two sub-groups will reveal the net retrieval cue effect of the music of high congruency and high familiarity. Similarly, another two sub-groups watched the same ad but with the background music of high congruency and low familiarity. Also the same ad but with the music of low congruency/ high familiarity was shown to another two sub-groups and that of low congruency and low familiarity music was to another two. Among the two sub-groups with the same music, only one group had the music cue at the memory tasks. One hundred and seventy four undergraduate students at the college of one of authors in Asia participated in the study. Their ages ranged from 18 to 24 with a median of 20. The sample was composed of 51.7 percent male subjects. They were randomly assigned to each of the eight sub-group. The results show that the music highly congruent with the advertised message facilitates the message retrieval, while the low congruency music cue does not. It was also found that the low familiarity music cue improves memory performance only when the music is perceived as congruent with the advertised message. From a theoretical and practical perspective, this study provides boundary conditions for effective retrieval and suggests that the congruent music specifically created for the ad is a more effective retrieval cue than other types of music cues.

By employing in-depth interviews with a total of 14 television producers, the study seeks to investigate how the use of documentary background music has changed in the rapidly evolving media technology. This study reveals two major findings. First, the use of traditional compositional background music in TV documentary has been decreased for the last 20 years, while library music with various sound sources has been more likely to be used due to its artistic value, its digitalized formats, and its convenience. Second, the popularity of the library music use has changed the cooperative relationship between TV documentary producers and music directors, and their views on background music. Overall, compared to the past, the new media technology (e.g., much easier, faster editing process and communication through e-mails) has helped to come up with the current trend of using more library music. This trend however implies that the dependency of library music only may lose the unique value of television documentary as a work of creative art and eventually downgrade the quality of the programs. Further practical implications are discussed.

In , music becomes a passage of spaces in dreams and at the same time causes a problem of temporality between spaces with different time speeds. This paper aims to examine the temporality of the music through Bergson's concept of time. The music used in the film, 《Non, je ne regrette rien》, is divided into the original version, the slowed-down version, and the rearranged version with the slowed-down, and this study visually confirmed the characteristics and similarities through practical analysis. From the perspective of Bergson's perception and memory diagram, non-diegetic music of the actual(the rearranged version) in which diegetic music of the virtual(the slowed-down version) inherent, plays the role of film music and music signal simultaneously. Also, the original version and the slowed-down version are the relationship of durational identity with qualitative changes. We looked at the position in the inverted cone diagram and applied their relationship to the diagram. It is a great achievement of this study that we explored the temporality of music in the multi-layered structure of , based on Bergson's philosophy of coexisting with the present and the past.
