Inheriting traditional music is a cultural problem in the dynamics of human life.

The method in this paper uses a qualitative descriptive method, descriptive method is a method in finding facts about the status of a human group, an object, a condition, a system of thought or an event in the present with the right interpretation (Sedarmayanti., Hidayat, 2002). Qualitative research does not merely describe, but more importantly, finds the meaning contained behind it, as a hidden meaning or intentionally hidden (Ratna, 2010). The purpose of inheritance is generally to maintain cultural values from the past, as well as efforts to maintain the arts. This paper aims to discuss the inheritance system in Bia Music as an effort to preserve the existence of the art.
