<![CDATA[This study aims to explore the creativity of Primary School Teacher Education (PGSD) students in developing local culture-based traditional music instructional materials. The background of this research is driven by the importance of preserving regional culture through music education in primary schools, alongside the necessity for pre-service teachers to possess the creative capacity to design contextual, engaging instructional materials that align with students' characteristics. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach, involving fourth-semester PGSD students enrolled in the music education course as research subjects. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, documentation, and product analysis of the instructional materials developed by the students. The findings of this study indicate that the PGSD students demonstrate innovation in creating instructional materials by utilizing elements of traditional music, including traditional musical instruments, regional songs, and local cultural aspects processed in an engaging and relevant manner. The students' creativity is evident in their ability to adapt traditional music content into various instructional forms, such as learning modules, visual media, student worksheets, instructional videos, and practical music activities. Furthermore, the students exhibit the capability to integrate knowledge aspects, appreciative attitudes toward local culture, and technology. Challenges encountered include limited references, a lack of proficiency in playing traditional musical instruments, and the scarcity of traditional instruments as practical media in learning.]]>
