ABSTRACT

Music and art disciplines are appropriate to connect each other since both bring about aesthetic experiences of learners. The purpose of this study is to design an interdisciplinary music and art program for upper elementary students. To do this, the writer examined the theories and issues regarding the interdisciplinary music education based on the suggestion of Munroe (2015). The program was designed to study the music and art of Polynesia based on a common theme of Westernization of arts. Through this program, it is expected that the students are able to understand the history and social contexts by expanding the breadth and depth of multicultural music learning.
