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

Drama is one of the components of theater education that can be integrated with other art forms. Within the various elements of theater or drama, there is a collaboration of visual arts, music, dance, drama, and literature. Popular music has been developing in Indonesia since the colonial era, particularly in the 20th century. During this period, genres such a Krontjong, Jazz, orchestral music, and rock music began to emerge. In the world of popular music, rock music has carved out its own space among enthusiasts, symbolizing freedom, rebellion, and high creativity, marked by its dynamic melodies and rhythms, as well as its profound lyrical content. Rock music has become a medium through which listeners express themselves. This article aims to elaborate on musical drama as a form of performance conducted by secondary school students, who take on the dual roles of actors and production team members, in exploring rock music through musical theatre. Such an approach enriches the students’ acting experiences within a musical context. Integrating rock music into the performing arts provides a fresh atmosphere that can influence the students’ characteristics and experiences. This study employs an exploratory qualitative method, involving various stakeholders, to analyze the implementation and impact not only to enhance students’ experiences in acting, but also to stimulate creativity by encouraging the analysis of rock music characteristics, which are expressed through drama. This process supports the development of diverse ideas in musical theatre, ultimately contributing to the quality and elements of school-based musical performance

Abstract

This study investigates how a community-based art initiative—Reboan, held weekly by Bale Seni Tepa Slira in Banyumas, Indonesia—contributes to the social vitality of its participants. Emerging from grassroots artistic impulses, Reboan has evolved into a sustainable practice that bridges performance, learning, and cultural regeneration. Through a qualitative case study grounded in McMillan and Chavis’s (1986) theory of sense of community, the research examines how the dimensions of membership, influence, needs fulfillment, and shared emotional connection are manifested in the community’s everyday interactions. Data was collected through immersive fieldwork involving observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings highlight Reboan’s function not only as a platform for local artistic expression but as a space of belonging, emotional support, and mutual empowerment. As such, Reboan exemplifies the transformative potential of community art in cultivating inclusive, participatory, and socially resilient cultural ecosystems.
