This study aims to explore some instructional methods for the resting tone in music education, especially elementary general music education in Korea. Before exploring the instructional methods, the important role of the resting tone in the view of a western music history was investigated. Establishing the instructional methods, Music Learning Theory, a contemporary music education theory by Gordon was based upon and adapted to apply. Four integral applicable methods for elementary school music teachers to instruct the resting tone were introduced. First, through singing the last pitch of the patterns teacher uses, second, through singing the first pitch of the patterns teacher uses, third, through singing the resting tone of the patterns teacher uses, fourth, through singing the resting tone of a song teacher introduces. The four kinds of methods introduced in this study can be applied to any elementary music classes.
