Abstract

This study examines the integration of Sibelius, a digital music notation software, as an innovative pedagogical medium in teaching Dayak traditional rhythm patterns to enhance students’ musical creativity. Traditional music instruction, which predominantly relies on oral and imitative approaches, often lacks systematic structure and limits students’ conceptual understanding and creative development. Addressing this gap, this research employs a descriptive qualitative design conducted at Sanggar Panatau Kameluh Bulan involving 26 students. Data were collected through observation, interviews, performance tests, and documentation of students’ musical works. The findings indicate that the use of Sibelius significantly improves students’ cognitive understanding of rhythmic structures through visual notation, enhances psychomotor skills in performing rhythm patterns, and increases affective engagement toward traditional music learning. Moreover, students demonstrate notable development in musical creativity, as reflected in their ability to explore, modify, and create new rhythmic variations based on traditional patterns. The study also reveals that digital notation serves as an effective bridge between oral tradition and modern pedagogical practices, supporting both learning innovation and cultural preservation. Despite challenges related to technological access and varying levels of digital literacy, the integration of Sibelius offers a relevant and adaptable model for technology-based music education. This research contributes to the development of culturally responsive and innovative music pedagogy in the digital era.

Abstract

This study examines the pedagogical role of Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) in traditional music learning among students of the Music, Dance, and Drama Education Study Program at the University of Palangka Raya. The research aims to analyze the functions of digital media, the role of DAW in the learning process, student interactions, creative exploration, and the integration of traditional music into digital environments. A qualitative case study approach was employed involving 21 students enrolled in the Central Kalimantan Traditional Music course. Data were collected through participatory observation, semi-structured interviews, documentation of student arrangement projects, FL Studio project files, audio recordings, and field notes. Data were analyzed using an interactive model and thematic analysis. The findings reveal that FL Studio functioned as a medium for musical exploration, production, and evaluation by enabling students to repeatedly revise and refine their musical arrangements. The learning process was characterized by active collaboration, peer assistance, lecturer guidance, and reflective practice, indicating the presence of scaffolding and collaborative knowledge construction. Students demonstrated creative exploration through experimentation with rhythm, melody, layering, and instrumentation while adapting traditional musical elements into digital formats. The integration of traditional instruments such as Panting Dayak, Rebana, and Gong Dayak into digital arrangements further demonstrated the potential of DAW-based learning to support cultural preservation and revitalization. The study concludes that DAW functions not only as a music production tool but also as a pedagogical environment that facilitates creativity, learner autonomy, collaborative learning, and cultural sustainability in higher education traditional music learning contexts.
