The Theory of Rodolf Steiner's Music Education: Implication for the Contemporary Education

This study is about the theory of Rodolf Steiner's music education that developed by new ideas of anthroposophy in the twentieth century and is about his achievement that gives implications to contemporary music education. Steiner's anthroposophic education has been implemented in Waldorf school even today from 100 years ago. Music doesn't exist separately in Waldorf educational courses, but music is melted in the entire process of education. In particular, Steiner thought musical experience in childhood was important and emphasized musical experience. Steiner's education goal is to be anthroposophic person. Steiner said methodological principles for anthroposophic education were depended on developmental stages and temperament of child. Ultimately, these principles help children's growth by the education according to children's individual characteristics. This anthroposophic educational principles have been applied in music education which is depended on developmental stages and temperament. And that principles have been done in Waldorf kindergarten and schools from that era to nowadays. Anthroposophic music education isn't separated education from music but integrated education. Music education and anthroposophic education by Steiner are interacting with each other rather than separated. Music education is a method and principle for anthroposophic education and anthroposophic ideas are melted as they are in music education. Especially since the 20th century, his music education philosophy and methodology have significant similarities with Orff's music education which opened a new era of music education. Their music ideas are recognized as a desirable aims for education that is still being used and pursued. So Steiner's music education also has enough educational implications.
