Abstract:

The correct reading of a work of art is of great importance in all branches of art. That reading comprises a collective evaluation of many factors such as the period in which the artist lived; the phase of the artist in which the work of art was written; materials used; and the art movement that was embraced during the creation process of the work of art. The students and teachers, who are involved in art education, will have the opportunity to evaluate the mentioned artistic elements by being present at the environments in which the works of art are located. Museum education comes into prominence as an educational domain, certain principles of which have been established particularly in visual arts education, and arranged in accordance with the national requirements. Thanks to these features, museum education provides all visual arts educators and students with the artistic environments and the necessary environments for reading the works of art. When music course curriculums are examined, it is observed that there is no concert education like museum education, the principles of which has been identified, arranged and integrated into the teaching curriculum. The aim of this study is to discuss with suggestions whether or not the responsibilities laid upon the educators and administrators by the principles and objectives of museum education offer contributions to the field of music education; and the necessity of concerts or concert culture in the field of music education.
