This study aims to describe the use of calung jinjing as a medium for local wisdom-based music education at Madrasah Aliyah Al-Ghozali. It employs a qualitative approach with a case study design. Conducted over one semester, the study gathered data through observation, interviews, and documentation. The subjects included the Arts and Culture teacher and students participating in music lessons utilizing calung jinjing. Data analysis followed the Miles and Huberman model, comprising data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that the use of calung jinjing fosters a learning process that is more active, contextual, and meaningful. Students demonstrated progress in traditional instrument proficiency, performance confidence, learning motivation, and collaborative skills. Furthermore, the instruction contributed to cultivating an appreciation for local culture and an awareness of the need to preserve it. The implementation was supported by teacher readiness, student enthusiasm, institutional support, and the availability of the instruments. Challenges encountered included disparities in students' initial skill levels, a limited number of instruments, and time constraints. Thus, calung jinjing is a suitable medium for local wisdom-based music education in Madrasah Aliyah.
