The musical accompaniment of the workshop songs used traditional musical instruments from Alor Regency, namely Gong, Tambur and added with piano instruments to determine the basic tone of the song and provide melody and harmonization to the song. Gong and drum instruments are traditional musical instruments from Alor district which are usually used to accompany traditional dances, pick up guests, demolish traditional houses and other traditional events. The character of the gong musical instrument is enthusiastic, builds an atmosphere of joy and joy. Gong Alor is played by striking, each gong has a different rhythmic pattern, but when combined or beaten simultaneously, it will sound so beautiful and make the atmosphere cheerful.
