As a means to support maternal transition, a home-based music intervention was employed to facilitate mothers' singing to their infants. Four mothers were recruited as volunteers for this study their typically developing infants ranged in age from 2 months to 11 months. Interviews were conducted after the completion of the intervention. An educational music intervention was used to introduce the benefits of mothers' singing to their infants and to encourage four mothers to perform regular singing to their infants for the two-week period. In the interview, mothers provided valuable information regarding their personal experiences, thoughts, abilities to carry out the daily singing, and additional support needs in singing. All mothers demonstrated positive experiences and needs for future intervention development. Overall, the results showed that music-involved educational intervention is beneficial for mothers to support their maternal transition. The need emerged for future studies to develop music-involved educational intervention to support maternal transition.

The purpose of this article is to argue that Arirang, Korean traditional music, could be used for healing purposes for Koreans. Music may be a medicine for curing both the body and mind. That is the soul of folksong. Arirang is a representative folksong in Korea. Koreans thought that listening to Korean traditional songs and singing them have healing powers because it makes people happier. When Koreans listen to Arirang, slowly as if they are mass hypnotized, Koreans calmed down because they think of mother's bosom while listening to Arirang. Also, Koreans find comfort in listening and singing to Arirang. The song's tune is catchy and its lyrics are moving. The song of Arirang was sung from long ago by Koreans. Therefore, it will continue forever as long as Koreans exist.

This study is a consideration of Xu Xiao-Bin(徐小斌)'s Sounds of nature(天?) in the mutual text point of view of Lee Cheong-jun's Sopyonje series. Xu Xiao-Bin's Sounds of nature shows similar motive to Lee Cheong-jun's Sopyonje series that is a story of a mother who damages her daughter's eyes and the daughter. however, it is accepted in totally different ways that the action of father/mother who damage their daughter's eyes. the mother in Sounds of nature is a composer as well as singer and the father in Sopyonje is a singer. The mother's behavior is not able to have duty in Sounds of nature due to it is focused in 'mother's action' rather than a singer but the father's behavior is focused in 'singer's action' in Sopyonje. therefore the action of the father, who is a singer, is considered not merely personal desire of father but also desire to preserve 'singing' as a national culture in public status. the length between two novels are clear in the two daughter's point of views. the daughter in "Sounds of nature" refuses her destiny made from her mother. The daughter's behavior of recovering her own volition, becomes frankly showing the falsehood of 'mother's love. In comparison, the daughter's voice is under the shade in Sopyonje. she surrenders herself to the fate made by her father, and she does not show her desire. This is the point that the difference is created by gender of writers.

This study aims to look for the proper directions of following and developing Gyeonggi sinawi dance in the fashion of Kim Sukja by closely examining its kinds and patterns. First, its characteristics and education reality were investigated. Second, the seven kinds of Gyeonggi sinawi dance Kim Sukja allegedly handed down (according to the 121st Report of the Intangible Cultural Assets) were concretely examined. Third, the composition of each dance pattern was studied. Fourth, various beats used in Gyeonggi sinawi dance were revealed. The late Kim Sukja had outstanding artistic talent and ability in Gyeonggi sinawi dance movements, musical composition, gayageum accompanied singing, and pansori episodes. Behind her were master singer Kim Seokchang (grandfather), father Kim Deoksun (belonging to Hwaseong Artist Board), shaman-mother Jeong Gwiseong, and great dancer Jo Jinyeong. Kim sukja's seven Gyeonggi sinawi dance types were bujeong nori, teo beollim, jinsoe, jeseok, kkaekkeum, ollimchae, and dosal puri (designated as Important Intangible Cultural Asset in 1990). Such beats as seopchae (dosal puri), mori, bal ppeodeurae, bujeong nori, ollimchae, jinsoe, and teo beollim (ban seoreum) were mainly used in Gyeonggi sinawi dance. In sum, Kim Sukja's dance was more than an individual's dance to represent the cultural types and life at that time in Gyeonggi-do and be a very important academic historic material. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the present generation to hand down and develop such invaluable traditional cultural materials.
