The purpose of this research is to survey the practice of performance assessment in Music The survey was administered to 119 schools in Seoul and Kyunggi-Do, both of which were randomly selected. The findings are as follows. First, performance assessment constituted 70 percent of the total evaluation in the majority of schools. Second, performance evaluation was conducted with respect to singing, instrument, appreciation, and creation, with equal emphasis on each field. Third, only the results of education were evaluated. Fourth, the evaluation criteria were classified into "excellent, good, average, improvement needed, and improvement very much needed". More objective and fair evaluation methods are required. Fifth, a new view of evaluation is needed. Evaluation is part of education. Both teachers and students should consider evaluation as part of learning rather than as a form of competition. Sixth, all evaluations were conducted only once and only by teachers. A variety of evaluation methods should be developed to make the evaluation correspond to the purposes of education.
