The purpose of this paper is to verify the method of successfully incorporating the aspect of culture in the unit construction and to verify its effectiveness. The following three results have become clear by analyzing music lessons of appraising at the second grade of an elementary school. (1) If the information on the aspect of culture is given when children are perceiving/feeling the structure of music, the connection between the two is easier for the children to understand. (2) Providing the information on the aspect of culture that relates to the structure of music is effective in studying music. (3) Grasping the connection between perceiving/feeling the structure of music and the information on the aspect of culture enables children to move toward a deeper understanding of the music. These results made clear that incorporating the information on the aspect of culture in the situation when children are perceiving/feeling the structure of music is effective in music study.
