Background: There is a need for index research on music therapy activities for the elderly in Korea. Purposes: This study aims to suggest application standards in music therapy by surveying the elderly's preference for music therapy activities. Methods: A survey of music-related actions and musical instrument preferences was conducted with 91 older people in 4 nursing homes. The questionnaire consisted of information about music activities, genres of songs, types of instruments, methods of movement, and purpose of participation in activities. Results: The preference for musical activities was for playing musical instruments, followed by singing, music appreciation, flowing movements, and concert-oriented activities. Music genres appeared in the order of popular songs, folk songs, and children's songs. The instrument type preferred drums, followed by shakers and woodblocks. As a movement application method, movement using themes is preferred. Participating in music activities was leisure, followed by stress relief and emotional cultivation. Conclusion: When applying music therapy to the elderly, it predicted that the treatment effect would be high when the elderly focus on playing musical instruments and singing activities preferred by the elderly. Music genres selected from popular music and folk songs, and musical instruments are drums and shakers. Therefore, if you use it, you can expect a more significant effect.

The cover song refers to live recordings or reproduced albums. This paper studies two-dimensional Fourier transform as a feature-dimension reduction method to search cover song fast. The two-dimensional Fourier transform is conducive in feature-dimension reduction for cover song search due to musical-key invariance. This paper extends the previous work, which only utilize the magnitude of the Fourier transform, by introducing an invariant from phase based on the assumption that adjacent frames have the same musical-key change. We compare the cover song retrieval accuracy of the Fourier-transform based methods over two datasets. The experimental results show that the addition of the invariant from phase improves the cover song retrieval accuracy over the previous magnitude-only method.

Computing music similarity is an indispensable component in developing music search service. This paper proposes a relevance weight of each chromagram vector for cover song identification in computing a music similarity function in order to boost identification accuracy. We derive a music similarity function using the relevance weight based on the probabilistic relevance model, where higher relevance weights are assigned to less frequently-occurring discriminant chromagram vectors while lower weights to more frequently-occurring ones. Experimental results performed on two cover music datasets show that the proposed music similarity improves the cover song identification performance.

"Gone with the wind"(1939, Directed by Victor Fleming) was produced in the stylistic conventions of the classical hollywood cinema, and thus the musical employment also followed the norms of the style, such as late Romantic musical style, serving the narrative, signifier of emotion, and giving continuity and unity. But, at the same time, the statement of the classical theory that the music hides and tailors itself to support the drama - invisibility, inaudibility, narrative cuing and so on - does not seem to explain the musical employment of "Gone with the wind." On the contrary, it hires music to put itself forward, and often times it stops the narrative to show musical spectacles for which the image is tailored to fit the music. These are more of music theatre or music drama features rather than the conventional underscore of the films in that period. In this study analysed the musical employment of "Gone with the wind" to see how it took full advantage of music to lead the narrative in a more active way and to make musical spectacles, by borrowing the technique and style of music theatre, such as, overture and entr'acte, similarities with film musicals, Wagnerism influence, and the use of songs.

It is crucial to a musical artist whether or not they have a musical identity. Major entertainment companies of Korea are strongly promoting a cultural product called 'Idol', where musical identity and musicianship are not important, with careful production and capital. It is important to take note of Prince, who remains to show clearly his philosophy and identity, in the state where lack of musical identity is being promoted. Many studies done on his musical brilliance and uniqueness can be a great incentive to rethink on the nature of music. As an arranger, Prince used tension notes effectively and even showed that avoid notes can be used to express a musical color. Studies on his musical brilliance and uniqueness must continue to be done and become an incentive to not just people who study music but for everyone to rethink the nature of music. There is no correct answer to music, but art has to be the essence of its nature.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of group music therapy program on alineation of adolescents from enmeshed or disengaged families. The Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scales III was administered to screen out subjects at a high school in Seoul. Based on the low scores, between 10 and 25, rated on the scale, 4 students were selected from 148 initial respondents. Subjects participated in group music therapy program for 7 weeks and a total of 14 music therapy sessions were provided for them. After the program, content analysis of the subjects' verbal and musical expressions observed during the program was conducted, with regard to the measures of the Student Alienation Scale. The results showed negative self-expression decreased while positive self-concepts increased. These results indicate that by providing the opportunity to experience group cohesiveness and group support, group music therapy program may effectively reduce alienation of adolescents from enmeshed or disengaged families.

This study aims to identify the effect of music psychotherapy on motivation for learning in the underachieving student. The study divided nine children into two groups and placed four children in a test group and five children in a control group. After conducting a pre-test, the researcher performed music psychotherapy with the four children in the test group for about 12 weeks, twice a week, totaling 18 sessions. Quantitative data were measured in pre-and-post tests using Mann-Whitney's U-test, and the effects of the therapy were analyzed using Wilcoxon. The findings of this study were as follows. Music psychotherapy was shown to be effective for improving all types of motivation for learning in underachieving students (p < .001). This was shown by assessing improvements in the experimental group across four sub-areas of motivation for learning (p < .1), and directly measured by examining the subjects' lingual responses related to motivation for learning. These results demonstrate that music psychotherapy is effective for enhancing motivation for learning in underachieving students.

Recently, digital music retrieval is using in many fields (Web portal. audio service site etc). In existing fields, Meta data of music are used for digital music retrieval. If Meta data are not right or do not exist, it is hard to get high accurate retrieval result. Contents based information retrieval that use music itself are researched for solving upper problem. In this paper, we propose Same music recognition method using similarity measurement. Feature data of digital music are extracted from waveform of music using Simplified MFCC (Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficient). Similarity between digital music files are measured using DTW (Dynamic time Warping) that are used in Vision and Speech recognition fields. We success all of 500 times experiment in randomly collected 1000 songs from same genre for preying of proposed same music recognition method. 500 digital music were made by mixing different compressing codec and bit-rate from 60 digital audios. We ploved that similarity measurement using DTW can recognize same music.
