National Defense University is a college military academy in Taiwan. Learning curriculum in this university must contains not only general university courses, but also include military level education— the formation of a special schooling system versed in both literature and military affairs. The contents and indicators of the department core competencies are to show how the field of general universities and military academies both are oriented through curriculum design and learning. In the course, Graduation Exhibition and Performance, in the Department of Applied Art, an epitome and presentation collection of the knowledge and the abilities students have learned in their last four years of studying, are displayed. Students from three different departments (Music, Arts, and Drama) show their learning achievements by showcasing their works on stage, in the graduation exhibition and with performances. Applying practical situations to real life exhibitions is also an important process that numerous courses use to display students’ abilities and knowledge. Action research was the main research method in this study. Motivation, direction and purpose of organizing this concert by the Class 103, which included members of different music expertise backgrounds, were studied deeply from the process of organizing performances. Whether or not the process of “preparing for a concert” could promote learning, enhance the skills and strengths of participants, or what associations there were with department core competencies, were discussed from the students’ point of view. This process was done in order to examine the matchmaking degree and effectiveness of “department core competencies” and “the process from course learning to achievement of performance — the outcome of education.”
