Abstract
The purpose of this research is to illustrate the learning significance of “Musik-Erlebnis.” The structure of this research is an examination of “Musik-Erlebnis” as a musical activity based on Mori Arimasa’s concept of “experience (=Erfahrung)” and Susanne K. Langer’s symbolic philosophy, followed by a consideration of the learning significance of the musical activity. The results are as follows. 1) “Erfahrung” is distinct from “Erlebnis” and is important in defining humans. 2) “Musik-Erlebnis” is established empirically according to the appearance of the music and its form of feeling. 3) When those qualities are conveyed, “Musik-Erlebnis” is expressed as a unique “knowing how,” and the learning significance is presented therein.
