Abstract
The purpose of this study is to develop a practical music making program for junior high school students, which is drawn from "expression forming principles". To develop the program, the following three points were emphasized: (1) To combine musical generation, image development, and musical elements as part of the program. (2) To systematically incorporate "expression forming principles" into the program. (3) To devise an occupational method that can connect an individual with a number of societies. Eight projects and methods to promote these programs were developed, taking the above points into consideration. As a result, it was possible to develop a music making program that had clearly defined educational content. In addition, it was found effective to combine images and musical elements as part of the critical evaluation process in the project development process.
