Abstract

This study is motivated by the position of traditional music as a cultural element that not only functions aesthetically but also plays an important role in constructing social meaning, symbolism, and collective identity within a community. This article aims to examine the social meaning and function of Tagonggong music in the Tulude tradition of the Sangihe community in Londoun Village as a diaspora community. The research uses a qualitative method with a cultural ethnographic approach through participatory observation, unstructured interviews with traditional elders, Tagonggong players, and community leaders, as well as documentation. Data analysis was conducted descriptively and interpretatively using Alan P. Merriam's theoretical framework on the function of music. The results of the study show that Tagonggong music has a multidimensional function in the Tulude tradition, including symbolic communication, emotional expression, representation of cultural identity, reinforcement of social norms, and social integration and cohesion within the community.Tagonggong not only functions as an accompaniment to ceremonies, but also as a sacred musical instrument that connects the relationship between humans, ancestors, and God, while also marking the space and time of the ceremony. This finding confirms that Tagonggong is a living cultural archive that preserves the collective memory and ethnic identity of the Sangihe community in exile. Implicitly, this research enriches Indonesian ethnomusicology studies by positioning traditional music as an active social text in maintaining the cultural structure and solidarity of the communities that support it.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the role of liturgical music as the primary medium of spiritual expression in Pentecostal worship, which is characterised by expressiveness and participation. The purpose of this study was to analyse the presentation of liturgical music and examine how it shapes and represents the spiritual expression of the congregation in the worship services of the Indonesian Bethel Church (GBI) Light Corner in Gorontalo City. The research uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive-interpretative design. Data were obtained through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with worship leaders and congregants, and audio-visual documentation. Data analysis was conducted thematically with reference to musicology, liturgical theology, and cultural studies perspectives. The results of the study show that liturgical music at GBI Light Corner is presented in a structured yet flexible manner, combining contemporary music with conscious liturgical planning. Music serves as a medium for creating a sacred atmosphere, binding the structure of worship, and as the main means of expressing the spirituality of the congregation both personally and communally. These findings indicate that liturgical music not only reflects the spirituality of the congregation but also actively shapes the experience of faith in the context of the local Pentecostal Church. This research has implications for the development of contextual, theological, and reflective liturgical music practices in church life.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the challenges encountered in the degung gamelan music extracurricular activities at SMA Negeri Tolisu, particularly the mismatch between students’ techniques and the correct playing patterns of the bonang musical instrument. Students still require full instruction and intensive supervision due to inefficiencies in the practice process, which in turn affect their creativity and interest in music. The purpose of this study is to describe the implementation of the demonstration method in improving students’ ability to play the bonang among extracurricular participants. This research adopts a descriptive qualitative approach, supported by simple quantitative analysis to process students’ learning outcome data. The research subjects consisted of eight students from SMA Negeri Tolisu. Data collection techniques included unstructured interviews, direct field observation, and documentation in the form of photographs and videos of the activities. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that the implementation of the demonstration method over eight meetings led to significant improvement in students’ abilities. The learning process comprised preparation, implementation (introduction, demonstration, guided practice, independent practice), and evaluation stages. Based on an assessment rubric covering cognitive, affective, and psychomotor aspects, most students achieved the “Good” category, with achievement percentages exceeding the predetermined indicator of 75%. In conclusion, the demonstration method is effective in improving students’ skills in playing the bonang musical instrument, as it allows students to directly observe and imitate the techniques.

Abstract

Traditional dance plays a crucial role as a medium for cultural expression, representing the values, identity, and social structure of its supporting communities. However, academic studies often lack a clear gap between theoretical understanding and actual performance practices. In the context of the Giomu Dance, a court dance of the Kaidipang community in North Bolaang Mongondow Regency, previous research has tended to be descriptive-historical and has not yet explored its movement structure in depth as practiced by cultural performers. This study aims to systematically analyze the movement structure of the Giomu Dance by examining movement vocabulary, spatial design, and performance dynamics. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collection techniques including performance observations, in-depth interviews with cultural figures and dancers at the Mogusato Studio, and visual documentation. The results indicate that the movement structure of the Giomu Dance is composed of five main vocabulary elements interconnected through planned transitions and repetitions, four floor patterns that establish dramatic relationships between female and male dancers, and movement dynamics that emphasize gentleness, order, and resilience. These findings reveal that the movement structure of the Giomu Dance represents the values of unity, honor, and nobility of Kaidipang women, rooted in the local historical and socio-cultural context. This study concludes that the Giomu Dance functions not only as a welcoming performance art but also as a medium for articulating cultural identity that remains relevant and sustainable in the lives of the people of North Bolaang Mongondow today.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the process of learning the Monamor Dance through the peer tutoring method in the dance extracurricular program at SMA Negeri 1 Suwawa Timur and to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors. The limited time allocated to dance practice in formal classroom instruction has prompted the use of extracurricular activities as intensive training spaces to preserve local cultural heritage. This study employed a descriptive, qualitative approach with a single-case study design. The participants consisted of 10 female students, of whom two eleventh-grade students acted as tutors due to their higher level of competence, while the remaining eight students served as tutees. Data were collected through direct observation, interviews, questionnaires, and activity documentation. Data validity was ensured through reference materials, source triangulation, and technique triangulation. The findings revealed that the stages of learning through the peer tutoring method included identifying students' initial abilities, selecting tutors, forming groups, practicing movement sequences, adjusting movements to musical accompaniment and props, conducting full rehearsals, and performing in the final presentation. The implementation of this method was found to improve students wiraga (movement technique), wirama (rhythm), and wirasa (expression), while also fostering leadership skills and group collaboration. Supporting factors included students' high motivation, the comfort of practicing with peers, and the availability of facilities such as costumes and props. Meanwhile, inhibiting factors included students' initial reluctance to ask questions, a lack of seriousness due to close peer relationships, tutors" limited experience in providing guidance, and scheduling conflicts regarding the use of practice spaces

Abstract

This study aimed to describe the implementation of the peer tutoring strategy in the choir extracurricular program at SMA Negeri 1 Suwawa Timur. The research employed a qualitative descriptive method using observation, interviews, and documentation as data collection techniques. The research subjects consisted of 17 students participating in the choir extracurricular activity, divided into soprano, alto, tenor, and bass (SATB) voice groups. The peer tutoring strategy was implemented through several stages, including learning planning, tutor selection based on vocal ability, voice-group formation, basic vocal technique training, sectional rehearsals, combined rehearsals, dress rehearsals, evaluation, and reflection. The findings revealed that the peer tutoring strategy improved students’ musical abilities, including intonation accuracy, rhythm and tempo control, vocal technique, articulation, harmony, and group cohesiveness. In addition, improvements were found in non-musical aspects such as active participation, self-confidence, responsibility, and teamwork among group members. The presence of peer tutors created a more communicative, collaborative, and supportive learning environment, enabling students to understand the training materials more effectively. Therefore, the peer tutoring strategy proved to be an effective alternative approach for choir extracurricular coaching and is worthy of further development in music education at schools. ABSTRAK Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan penerapan strategi tutor sebaya dalam pembinaan ekstrakurikuler paduan suara di SMA Negeri 1 Suwawa Timur.

Abstract

The low level of students' basic technical skills in playing the traditional polopalo musical instrument at SMP Negeri 1 Tilongkabila is caused by the use of the ineffective lecture method in musical arts practice. This study aims to describe the implementation of the drill method to improve students' fine motor skills through extracurricular activities. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this study involved ten eighth-grade students as the main subjects. The systematic research stages included planning a practice-based teaching module, implementing intensive training for eight meetings, evaluating individual technical achievements, and conducting ongoing instructional reflection. The research findings showed a significant increase in skill mastery gradually; at the fifth meeting the success rate reached 50 percent and jumped rapidly to 70 percent at the sixth meeting. Students successfully mastered stick holding techniques, hitting accuracy, hand movement coordination, and rhythmic accuracy in a stable manner. In addition to technical aspects, the implementation of this repetitive practice significantly increased students' discipline, activeness, and self-confidence. The main conclusion confirms that the drill method is very effective in forming essential muscle memory for beginners in playing traditional instruments. This strategy not only optimizes students' musicality, but also plays a strategic role as an effort to dynamically preserve Gorontalo's local cultural heritage amidst the current modernization of arts education in order to fortify the national identity for the younger generation in schools. ABSTRAK Rendahnya keterampilan teknik dasar siswa dalam memainkan alat musik tradisional polopalo di SMP Negeri 1 Tilongkabila disebabkan oleh penggunaan metode ceramah yang kurang efektif dalam praktik seni musik. Penelitian ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan implementasi metode drill guna meningkatkan kemahiran motorik halus siswa melalui kegiatan ekstrakurikuler. Menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif, penelitian ini melibatkan sepuluh peserta didik kelas delapan sebagai subjek utama. Tahapan penelitian secara sistematis mencakup perencanaan modul ajar berbasis praktik, pelaksanaan latihan intensif selama delapan pertemuan, evaluasi capaian teknik individu, serta refleksi instruksional berkelanjutan. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan adanya peningkatan penguasaan keterampilan yang signifikan secara bertahap; pada pertemuan kelima tingkat keberhasilan mencapai 50 persen dan melonjak pesat menjadi 70 persen pada pertemuan keenam. Siswa berhasil menguasai teknik memegang stik, akurasi pukulan, koordinasi gerak tangan, serta ketepatan irama secara stabil. Selain aspek teknis, penerapan latihan berulang ini secara nyata meningkatkan kedisiplinan, keaktifan, dan kepercayaan diri peserta didik. Simpulan utama menegaskan bahwa metode drill sangat efektif dalam membentuk memori otot yang esensial bagi pemula dalam memainkan instrumen tradisional. Strategi ini tidak hanya mengoptimalkan musikalitas siswa, tetapi juga berperan strategis sebagai upaya pelestarian warisan budaya lokal Gorontalo secara dinamis di tengah modernisasi pendidikan seni saat ini guna membentengi identitas bangsa bagi generasi muda di sekolah.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the learning process of traditional dance movement material, particularly the Tidi Lo O’Ayabu dance, through the demonstration method among Grade VIII students of SMP Negeri 1 Kabila Bone. The background of this study is the ineffectiveness of previous dance learning processes that relied solely on audio-visual media, resulting in many students experiencing difficulties in applying practical material and failing to achieve the Minimum Mastery Criteria (KKM). This study employed a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through direct observation, unstructured interviews with the school principal, cultural arts teachers, and students, as well as documentation. The research subjects consisted of all Grade VIII students of SMP Negeri 1 Kabila Bone. The learning steps were organized into nine meetings, including theory delivery, visual observation, and direct practice through the demonstration method in which the teacher acted as a model. The results showed that the implementation of the demonstration method significantly improved students’ psychomotor skills, cognitive understanding, and affective attitudes. Students became more enthusiastic, were able to understand complex movement details more easily, and were capable of performing the Tidi Lo O’Ayabu dance in groups with assessment categories ranging from “Good” to “Very Good.” Through this method, students not only memorized movements but also understood their philosophical meanings and contributed to the preservation of Gorontalo’s local cultural heritage.
