Abstract
This study aims to clarify how the subject contents are correlated in the cross-curricular learning of the music class and school play with a focus on expression. The research method is, first of all, to conceive and implement the research practice by deriving the viewpoint of the class development which relates the subject contents of the music classes and the school plays. Next, the class analysis of the learning situation of the students extracted as a sample in the music classes and the school plays is carried out. From the results of the analysis, I clarify how the subject contents of the music classes and school plays were correlated. In conclusion, by associating the contents of subjects studied in the music classes with the contents of subjects in the school plays, the extracted students learned to objectively view the contents of the music classes from the perspective of others. This led to a reconfiguration of learning in the music classes. At the same time, the school plays enabled students to acquire communication skills to transmit what they had learned. In this study, a correlation was found between the reconfiguration of learning in the music classes and the acquisition of communication skills, which is the content of instruction in the school plays.
