The purpose of this paper is to reconsider the philosophy and methodology of “music education as aesthetic ducation(MEAE) ” to identify problems as hints for teaching musical concepts today.
The investigation presents two points:
1. How Bennett Reimer, a standard-bearer of MEAE, incorporated John Dewey's theory concerning “aesthetic experience” in constructing his theory and method.
2. How Reimer was influenced by J.Bruner's “concept learning” theory in structuring his teaching method, especially in the textbook series “Silver Burdett Music(SBM). ”
As a result, two problems were revealed. First, Reimer separated “aesthetic experience” into “aesthetic perception” and “aesthetic response,” and saw the latter as being impossible to teach with his method, though he noticed they are indivisible processes in his theory. Secondly. Reimer didn' t incorporate the potential relationship between each concept, which Bruner emphasized in his method.
