Furthermore, the curriculum plan and materials design could be achieved by distinguishing the difference between “integrated curriculum” and “subject curriculum”. Finally, questionnaire and interview surveys were used as the research methods. Through arranging reference and processing data, the curriculum development project that combines the advantages of subject curriculum and integrated curriculum is proposed. Findings and conclusions of this study are as following: 1. Curriculum rationale: At present, Nine-year Consistent Curriculum matches the need of individuals in different environment, and offers the direction and guide on teaching. However, due to the difficulty of objectively understanding, the competence indicators can’t conform to the cognitive development of students and the approval of music teachers. Therefore, Ministry of Education should not only revise the competence indicators, but also state them by grades and subjects. 2. Curriculum plan: The survey shows that teachers think the “collaborative work” and “subject curriculum” are the most effective methods in teaching. Moreover, based on students’ abilities and content’s characteristics, the best teaching effect can be approached by expanding to other connective disciplines. 3. Teaching material design: According to the literatures and questionnaire, the content of the textbook have some problems that need to be solved, including the institutional framework, teaching materials, and teaching activities. Teachers and editors should devote themselves to modify these drawbacks and to improve the textbook quality. In addition, to satisfy actual demand in teaching, teachers should supply the relevant teaching materials which are designed by them. 4. Supplementary measures: The teacher-training organization should offer the opportunities of various domains. Besides, building multiple channels of further education and teacher qualification are necessary in this stage. Especially in performance art course, teachers are insufficient at present. 5. Curriculum development principles: The competence indicators should be stated by grades and subjects. Curriculum plan should follow the rules of integration and flexibility. Teaching material design should adopt the advantages of integrated curriculum and subject curriculum. Teacher competency should emphasize on professional and independent principles. Based on the research results, suggestions for music teachers and future researchers are offered, as well as suggestions for education policy.
