Following facts were found based on the aforementioned changes in the education of Korean Traditional Music after the twentieth century. The professional education of Korean Traditional Music was started at the Institute of Joseon Classical Music(朝鮮正樂傳習所), the Lee Wang-Jik School of Classical Music(李王職雅樂部員養成所), and the Institute for Joseon Vocal Music(朝鮮聲樂硏究會) under the Japanese colonial rule over the Korean peninsula. Since the end of the colonial rule, the National High School for Classical Music (國立國樂高 等學校) (whose predecessor is the Training Center for Teachers of Classical Music under the National Center for Korean Traditional Performing Arts) and Korean Traditional Arts High School(國樂藝術高等學 校) founded in 1960 played a pivotal role in educating folk music. Based on those schools, the major of Korean traditional music was launched in Seoul National University in 1959, and the related courses of the major were opened in the graduate school of the university in 1963. Finally, doctoral courses were set up in the Academy of Korean Studies in 1980. The number of these kinds of institutes for professional education of Korean traditional music has increased to twenty-odd middle schools, twenty-three universities, and twenty graduate schools, and the quality of their education has also been improved. Especially, the doctoral courses opened in the Academy of Korean Studies, Seoul National University, Hanyang University, Ewha Womans University are expected to have other universities follow suit, and the increased number of such courses are expected to play an important role in professional education of Korean traditional music afterwards. Although the history of general education for Korean traditional music is relatively short, the weight of the general education for it in schools has become bigger than before as the proportion of Korean traditional music in curricula has been higher with reorganizations or curricula through seven phases. The general education has been improved both in quantity and quantity as postgraduate courses for Korean traditional music were launched in educational and musical colleges. Furthermore, the curricula for elementary school students and secondary school students have been divided as teachers colleges nationwide opened postgraduate courses, and it is an positive effects. It seems that the human resources and research results were behind the conspicuous growth in the general education of Korean traditional music. In sum, the education of Korean traditional music has been inherited in the two forms of professional education and general education, based on the tradition of the professional education under the Japanese colonial rule. And the dose collaboration between the two types of education is necessary more than ever. In this vein, framing pedagogy and producing teachers for professional education are needed as soon as possible.
