After melodicas were first imported from Germany around 1961, musical instrument manufacturers in Japan also began to manufacture and improve them. Educators in elementary and junior high schools soon began using the melodica experimentally, praising its musical possibilities but demanding improvements in quality. Musical instrument manufacturers immediately set out to improve the quality of the instrument in collaboration with elementary schools. As a result, in 1967, the melodica was approved as an educational tool by the Ministry of Education. Further, with an increase in the number of school children and the corresponding shortage of music rooms and equipment in elementary schools, when the Ministry revised its national curriculum guidelines in 1968 and stipulated the scope of“ basic” education, the melodica was considered a useful instrument for the attainment of this basic education, and elementary school students throughout Japan were soon carrying their personal melodicas. This paper shows that musical instrument manufacturers played a large role in the process leading up to the widespread introduction of the melodica into elementary school education.}, pages = {135--144}, title = {小学校教育へ鍵盤ハーモニカの普及を導いた楽器製造会社の戦略- 1960 ~ 70 年代における音楽教育雑誌の広告記事に着目して-}, volume = {4}, year = {2016}, yomi = {ツツイ, ハルカ} }
