The purpose of this study is to explore the possibility of enhancing teachers' digital literacy and developing new teaching materials by creating an app for learning recorder in the third grade of elementary school using the app inventor. The Ministry of Education, Science and Technology has been implementing SMART education since 2012, and in the 2022 revised curriculum, related classes in elementary and middle schools are scheduled to double in preparation for the artificial intelligence (AI) era. In the meantime, smart education has been conducted at the level of using smart devices and mobile media-based virtual instrument apps in music education, so related research is needed to enable teachers to develop and use apps necessary for classes. Therefore, in this study, through App Inventor, a smartphone-based educational programming language, an application was actually designed and produced for 3rd graders of elementary school to practice the recorder on their own, and the coding process was provided in detail. Through this study, it is expected that teachers will design and develop themselves according to their needs in the field, laying the foundation for practical app production in music teaching and learning activities.

The opera Peppermint Candy (2021) composed by Lee Geon-yong and scripted by Cho Kwang-hwa was produced based on the film Peppermint Candy (2000), directed by Lee Chang-dong. In Peppermint Candy, Kim Young-ho, a 40-year-old male, experienced turbulent Korean modern history such as the IMF crisis, the May 18 Gwangju Democratization Movement in 1980, and the June 1987 Democratic Uprising. And in the opera, he wanders in reproach, shame, and anger, and ends up throwing himself into an oncoming train. The work asks the audience what eventually led to the tragedy of young Kim Young-ho's life. This article interprets what the opera Peppermint Candy wanted to convey through the tragic story surrounding a character named Kim Young-ho and, explores the way in which artworks think about human desires formed in the layout of society, based on the philosophical thinking of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, who conceptualized human desires at a social level rather than at a personal level.

Jeong Yak-yong’s 丁若鏞 (1762~1836) Akseo gojon 樂書孤存 (“Solely maintaining the Book of Music”) has boasted a dual reputation: that it succeeded in reforming all the distortions in musical theories of the past, on the one hand; and that it is full of fallacies and absurdities, on the other. The essay summarizes the work’s musical practical and theoretical subjects, especially musical temperament and organology, using a more general - or Western musicological – terms, and examines its practical fallacies, theoretical incongruities and absurdities, and metaphysical dogmas. To conclude, the essay suggests that Akseo gojon is more significant as a part of Jeong’s studies of the Classics, especially of the doctrine of Change (yi 易), than as a sheer musical theoretical dissertation.
