The subjects for this study were 130 students at "K" Art High School in Bundang, Sungnam-Shi for the trunk forward bending test and survey questionnaire. The results were as follows; 1. 56(84.9%) of 66 normal group and 46(71.9%) of 64 abnormal group belonged to standard physical type on the result of trunk forward bending test if their posture were normal or not(p>0.05). 2. The awareness of scoliosis was as follows; 1) To the questionnaire; "Have you heard of scoliosis?" 36(27.7%) answered "yes" and 94(72.3%) "no" .84.9% normal group and 59.4% abnormal group have never heard of the disease before(p<0.05). 2) Out of 52 how to were heard of the disease; 19(6.5%) heard of it through hospital and 14(2.9%) through their teachers, 63.5% were heard of scoliosis. 3. The awareness of posture and pain vs the necessity of education. 1) 60.8% of all 130 respondents, 56.1% of 66 normal and 65.63% of 64 abnormal group had the pain(p>0.05). 2) 64.6% of all 130 respondents were unsatisfied with their posture. 56.1% of 66 normal and 73.4% of 64 abnormal group were unsatisfied with their posture. No significant difference were shown between the two groups(p>0.05). 3) 53.9% of all 130 respondents spoke about the need of posture maintaining program. 29(43.9%) of 66 normal and 41(64.1%) of 64 abnormal group felt the need. The necessity of education program was highly appreciated on both sides(p>0.05). 4. The states of experience on posture education vs the management of posture after learning on posture. 1) 36.2% of all 130 respondent have experienced the education, 21.21% of 66 normal and 51.6% of 64 abnormal group experienced the education. This showed that the abnormal group had more experience than the normal group(p<0.05). 2) 66.0% of 47 who had the posture education were continuously making efforts to maintain the right posture, 42.9% of 14 normal and 75.8% of 33 abnormal group were making efforts. The abnormal were more concerned about the posture management(p<0.05). From the results shown above, it was concluded that the youth majoring in music were mostly unsatisfied with their posture and were in need of posture education program. However, school health education still neglects informing the student of scoliosis, which might do direct harm to their body and health. Therefore, the systematic scoliosis education is needed for teachers as well as students. The reason for choosing Art high school students in this study is based on the assumption that they are more likely to exposed to scoliosis than order high school students. However, this is not reliable completely the possibility of prevalence. Therefore, which is not enough to affirm "Scoliosis", this study is only hoped to serve as a basic material for scoliosis research on Art students who have news been practically studied so far.
