Abstract

This study explores the symbolic meanings embedded in the lyrics of Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin through the lens of Roland Barthes' semiotic theory. The song was selected due to its rich symbolism and the profound philosophical messages conveyed through both its lyrical content and musical structure. The primary aim of this research is to uncover how Led Zeppelin constructs and conveys their artistic identity through symbolic elements that engage with themes of spirituality, existentialism, and critiques of materialistic culture. Employing a qualitative research method with a descriptive-interpretative design, this study draws data from official lyric documentation, musical references, and media archives. The analysis focuses on three layers of meaning in the lyrics: (1) denotation as literal meaning, (2) connotation as emotional and cultural significance, and (3) myth as an ideological narrative. The findings reveal that the symbol of the "stairway to heaven" functions as a critique of consumerism; the crossroads symbolize existential freedom; and natural imagery evokes a sense of spiritual connection to the natural world. Together, these symbols construct a modern myth that demonstrates how Led Zeppelin not only produced music but also engaged in cultural storytelling that is both philosophical and introspective. The song ultimately reflects the bands identity as an artistic entity that transcends entertainment, inviting listeners to contemplate lifes deeper meanings through metaphor and symbolic representation.

Abstract

The process of learning the piano involves more than the acquisition of technical skills; it also encompasses theoretical understanding, aesthetic appreciation, and adaptation to individual learner needs. This literature review examines the assimilation of piano learning through the integration of technique, theory, and technology, synthesizing findings from ten recent academic studies. The analysis reveals that effective assimilation occurs across five key dimensions: (1) multidimensional integration of technical proficiency, theoretical knowledge, and artistic expression; (2) combination of multiple memory strategies, including aural, visual, kinesthetic, and analytical approaches; (3) adaptation of teaching methods for learners with special needs; (4) interdisciplinary collaboration between music pedagogy and related sciences such as biomechanics; and (5) incorporation of technological innovations, ranging from adaptive visualisation tools to passive haptic rehearsal devices. The findings highlight that assimilation in piano learning is a dynamic, creative, and adaptive process that bridges traditional pedagogy with modern advancements. This integrated approach not only enhances skill acquisition but also fosters a deeper, more sustainable engagement with music. Future research is recommended to explore how these dimensions can be optimized simultaneously to achieve more inclusive and effective piano learning outcomes.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the lyrics of the song "Kawanen Saur" using a Peircean semiotic approach, focusing on understanding the signs contained in the lyrics and how these lyrics reflect the life experiences and cultural values of Indonesian society, especially during the month of Ramadan. The results of the analysis show that the lyrics of this song describe a person's concrete experience, especially the difficulty of waking up in the morning, through a combination of representamen, objects, and interpretants that produce a deep understanding of the behavior and situations experienced by the individual. The lyrics also describe the struggle between physical needs, social norms, and religious morality, by showing the internal conflict that arises due to the difference between desires and applicable rules. In addition, this analysis reveals that the lyrics function as a representation of Indonesian culture, by describing the experience of breaking the fast and conveying a profound moral message. Through the elements of representamen, objects, and interpretants, a humorous and reflective meaning is created that not only provides entertainment but also reflects a culture rich in spiritual and social values. In conclusion, the lyrics of the song Kawanen Saur not only represent a personal story, but also describe collective values in society, as well as showing the spirit of hard work and the hope for spiritual rewards through dedication and devotion.
