Abstract

The learning of Art Music in Junior High School can be conducted in various ways, one of which is the use of innovative media. One of these innovative media is Perfect Ear as an Android application used to train aural skills and musical taste in a person who is eager to learn about music theory, specifically rhythmic training. Perfect Ear has been widely played and uploaded by a large number of people. This study aims to measure the effect of Perfect Ear on students' learning concentration level. The method used in this research is Classroom Action Research with a Quantitative approach and using statistical analysis (SPSS). The results showed that the independent variables X1: Game Based Learning, X2: Perfect Ear, and X3: Reading rhythmic notation have a correlation with each other on the dependent variable Y: Learning Concentration. Here are the research results: 1) Game Based Learning is 95% proven to significantly affect the level of learning concentration, 2) Perfect Ear is also proven by 95% in influencing the level of concentration, 3) Reading rhythmic notation has no influence on the level of learning concentration, but 4) Game Based Learning, Perfect Ear, and reading rhythmic notation have a 95% influence on the level of learning concentration when they are combined. And in the final measurement, the R Squared value is 31.80%, which means that the total percentage of the effectiveness of the independent variables (X1, X2, X3) on the dependent variable (Y) is smaller than the total percentage derived from other independent variables

Abstract

This study aims to examine the music genre preferences of Malaysian teenagers toward Indonesian music, specifically the Pop and Dangdut genres. The background of the research is based on the growing influence of Indonesian music culture among Malaysian youth. The method used is a quantitative approach with a survey design. The population consisted of 151 Form IV students at SMK Methodist Tanjong Malim, Malaysia, with a random sample of 106 students selected using the Isaac and Michael table. Data were collected through questionnaires and interviews, then analyzed descriptively and in percentages. The results show that 69.8% of respondents preferred Indonesian Pop music, while 30.2% preferred Indonesian Dangdut. These preferences were influenced by environmental factors and ethnic background; students of Chinese and Indian descent tended to be less interested in Indonesian music. The aspects of enjoyment, attention, and willingness toward Indonesian music were found to be high. Respondents favored melodies that are easy to enjoy and lyrics that are relatable to daily life. Their favorite singer was Keisya Levronka. The study concludes that Indonesian Pop music is more popular among Malaysian teenagers. This research contributes to enriching cross-cultural studies in music and international communication in Southeast Asia.
