Abstract

Abstract In 1998, Japan's Ministry of Education amended the country's national curriculum to require the inclusion of traditional Japanese instruments in kindergarten through twelfth grade (K-12) music education. Over the last two decades, Japanese ethnomusicologists, music education scholars, and performers of hōgaku (musical genres with roots in premodern Japan) have begun to grow a body of literature and pedagogical techniques aimed at helping K-12 music teachers, mostly untrained in hōgaku, fulfill this requirement. In this article, I explore the innovations of this new hōgaku pedagogy and argue that coolness, a concept widely deployed in Japanese economic, political, and media discourse, is central to its understanding.

政府强制的冷静:日本的教育政策、Koto和音乐教师再培训

1998年，日本文部省修改了国家课程，要求在幼儿园到12年级(K-12)的音乐教育中包括传统的日本乐器。在过去的二十年里，日本民族音乐学家，音乐教育学者和hōgaku(起源于前现代日本的音乐流派)的表演者已经开始发展一套旨在帮助K-12音乐教师的文献和教学技术，这些教师大多未受过hōgaku的培训，以满足这一要求。在这篇文章中，我探讨了这种新的hōgaku教学法的创新之处，并认为酷是理解这种教学法的核心，酷是日本经济、政治和媒体话语中广泛使用的概念。
