Although the current elementary music education in Japan complies with school
curriculum guidelines produced by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and
Technology in Japan in March of 2008, the accompanying guidebook does not contain any
methodology that would show the teachers how to teach basic ideas of music like pitches
and rhythms to their students. Just like math and language courses, music also needs to be
taught gradually and systematically from an easy-to-difficult and simple-to-complex manner.
In terms of developing “Music Literacy”（the ability to read and write music）, current
music textbooks are not accomplishing their purposes. In this study, the Japanese music
textbooks for first grade were analyzed and compared to the Hungarian music textbook
（“Ének-zene” Nemzedékek Tudása） from the viewpoint of the students in terms of systematic
music education to find ways to improve current music textbooks.
