Lastly, the possibility of introduction of Japanese traditional music into subject matter in school music education was prospected. The findings of this study include the following: (1) Sensuous education is given before skill training in Japanese traditional music learing processes. (2) The work of intuition is attached more importance to than the operation of symbol in Japanese traditional music education.
