Summary/Abstract: Besides “World Music” is a music genre, it is also a definition which is frequently used in the related literature especially in the latest twenty years and assessed within the scope of multicultural music education by music educators. In providing a common ground for a globalized perception in music education, the definition of “World Music” and the related educational programs were also changed into a strategy regarding music education thanks to the facilities of popular culture. The aims of the present article are to assess some studies on the related educational strategies which progress in parallel with postmodern trends in Netherlands and in the light of these assessments, to perform some determinations related to the negative aspects that reflect or can reflect on our music culture.
