AB - This paper is about the study on the music education and choral activities of Chung Sin Girls’Academy which were implemented from the beginning of the academy until 1938, when the last principal was in office. The Chung Sin Girls’Academy, the first girls' school of the North Presbyterian Church, was founded in 1887 by a medical missionary, Annie J. Ellers (1860-1938) under the name of The Chung Dong Girls’Academy. Studies such as the Bible, arithmetic, and languages were taught in the academy with the goal of its students to be trained as well-behaved women with sound faith, then a middle school system was adopted from 1903. Their music classes started with hymn singing from the beginning of the academy and were conducted by female missionaries as basic singing and organ education, but the music subjects did not play a large part except in cases where they were beneficial to church ministry. However, more advanced music education was provided as the first graduate, Kim Pil-rye, who majored in piano in Japan, and Kim Hyeong-jun who was a former vocalist from Soong Sil Academy(Boy’s Academy in Peong Yang), taught music. As choir stages were set up at events such as graduation ceremonies and founding anniversaries that were held on campus every year. The Chung Sin Choir was naturally formed and it became known as the choir representing The Chung Sin Girls’Academy by participating in the events of Christian organizations that were popular between the 1920s and 1930s on and off campus. In 1922, as a missionary group practicing missionary work and sharing, they planned a nationwide tour for the first time as a domestic girls’academy to raise funds to build a library in the academy. The Chung Sin Girls’Academy was a representative Christian girls' academy where modern Western music began, and the music education and choir activities conducted there are important examples that allow us to examine the beginnings and aspects of the women's choirs in the early modern era.
