Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of the vocalization method in improving intonation and articulation skills in early childhood. Vocalization as form of singing training is one form of training that is considered effective for use at all ages. This research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. The case study was conducted at Pre-School X with two vocal teachers. The result show that the vocalization method creates a very significant effect in improving intonation and articulation skills because this method gives freedom and feels fun for early childhood. On the other hand, this method also succeeds in improving children’s focus when learning intonation and articulation because they do not have to divide their attention with foreign meanings and words. Therefore, the study successfully showed that the vocalization method is very effective in improving intonation and articulation skills in early childhood.

Abstract

This study explores the integration of musical drama as a medium to strengthen computational thinking (CT) among high school students in Jakarta. Computational thinking, a critical 21st-century skill, involves problem-solving through decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction, and algorithmic thinking. Despite its importance, CT remains underutilized in art education. This research employs a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) to design and implement a project-based learning (PjBL) framework centered on musical drama. The study involved 35 grade XI students who participated in an 8-week musical drama project, divided into creative teams to handle various production aspects. Observations, interviews, and documentation revealed that students effectively applied CT components: decomposing tasks, recognizing patterns in performance elements, simplifying complex narratives (abstraction), and organizing systematic workflows (algorithmic thinking). Results indicated significant improvements in students' logical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and confidence. The study highlights the effectiveness of musical drama as an interdisciplinary tool to enhance CT skills while fostering emotional engagement and character development. It also underscores the teacher's role as a facilitator in promoting reflective and participatory learning. The findings align with prior research on PjBL and CT, suggesting broader applicability in art education. Future research could extend this model to basic education or incorporate digital technologies.

Abstract

This study examines the transformation of musical techniques that occurs in students who take part in big band training, from classroom learning to performance on stage. Big band as a jazz ensemble popular from the Swing Era of 1935 to the late 1940s offers a unique opportunity for students' musical development. This study observed changes in students' technical skills, understanding of dynamics, improvisation and confidence through a qualitative approach by observing 30 high school students during a six-month training program. Results showed significant improvements in the ability to read scores, instrument playing techniques, and aesthetic understanding of big band music. The main challenge identified was the adaptation of marching band playing habits to the big band context, especially in terms of playing dynamics. A training model combining regular practice, music appreciation, and professional guidance proved effective in transforming students' musicality skills from beginner level to being able to perform on stage with appropriate big band aesthetic standards.

Abstract

This literature review analyzes the transformative potential of digital learning media in revitalizing Indonesian traditional music, with a particular focus on Gambang Kromong innovation within the framework of Society 5.0. Traditional music, as the foundation of cultural identity, faces significant threats from globalization and modernization, resulting in declining interest, especially among the younger generation. This approach examines how digital technologies can serve as a catalyst for the preservation, learning and dissemination of traditional music, transforming it from a marginalized status to one of contemporary relevance. The report synthesizes existing literature to identify key trends, benefits derived from the use of technologies such as Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs), Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), Artificial Intelligence (AI), gamification, and online and social media platforms. In addition, the report discusses inherent challenges, including the digital divide, the need for increased educator competencies, and intellectual property rights issues, while highlighting opportunities for collaboration and global audience reach. The conceptualization of "Gambang Kromong 5.0" is proposed as a holistic model that integrates traditional essence with intelligent technological advancements in a human-centric manner, ensuring cultural survival and artistic relevance in the digital age.
