The Delphi survey and FGI also included a total of 20 music education professors and teachers. As a result of analysis, first, in the future, Korean music curriculum should include various music cultures from around the world and their contributions. Second, ethical content related to music should be added, and third, music content that develops creative skills and thinking skills in the music curriculum must be additionally included.
