Abstract

Traditional Indonesian music faces sustainability challenges amid globalization, requiring revitalization through formal education. This study aims to analyze the role of schools in revitalizing traditional music, identify supporting and inhibiting factors, and formulate a sustainable school-based revitalization model. Using a descriptive qualitative design, data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, documentation, and Focused Group Disscussion in three senior high schools in West Bandung Regency that implement traditional music learning, involving arts teachers, principals, and students. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis with triangulation of sources and methods. The findings show two dominant models of traditional music education: instrument-based learning (angklung, gamelan degung, calung) and technology-integrated learning using digital and mobile platforms. These models enhance students’ musical skills, cultural appreciation, character development, and sense of national identity, but are constrained by limited teacher competence, inadequate instruments, inconsistent policy and budget support, and the challenge of engaging digital-native students. The study proposes a four-stage sustainable revitalization model introductory, active learning, creative innovation, and dissemination evaluation and concludes that effective revitalization requires systemic and collaborative support from schools, government, arts communities, and society.
