Abstract

This study examines the integration of Sibelius, a digital music notation software, as an innovative pedagogical medium in teaching Dayak traditional rhythm patterns to enhance students’ musical creativity. Traditional music instruction, which predominantly relies on oral and imitative approaches, often lacks systematic structure and limits students’ conceptual understanding and creative development. Addressing this gap, this research employs a descriptive qualitative design conducted at Sanggar Panatau Kameluh Bulan involving 26 students. Data were collected through observation, interviews, performance tests, and documentation of students’ musical works. The findings indicate that the use of Sibelius significantly improves students’ cognitive understanding of rhythmic structures through visual notation, enhances psychomotor skills in performing rhythm patterns, and increases affective engagement toward traditional music learning. Moreover, students demonstrate notable development in musical creativity, as reflected in their ability to explore, modify, and create new rhythmic variations based on traditional patterns. The study also reveals that digital notation serves as an effective bridge between oral tradition and modern pedagogical practices, supporting both learning innovation and cultural preservation. Despite challenges related to technological access and varying levels of digital literacy, the integration of Sibelius offers a relevant and adaptable model for technology-based music education. This research contributes to the development of culturally responsive and innovative music pedagogy in the digital era.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between local culture and voter rationality in the electoral contestation in Batu Bara Regency. The research aims to analyze how local cultural values influence the political behavior of society in determining their choices during regional head elections. As a multiethnic region predominantly shaped by coastal Malay culture, Batu Bara Regency possesses strong social characteristics rooted in kinship relations, traditional leaders, religious authority, and socio-political patronage networks. This study employs a qualitative method with approaches from political sociology and cultural anthropology. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies involving community members, traditional leaders, religious figures, and local political campaign teams. The findings reveal that voter rationality in Batu Bara Regency is not entirely rational-instrumental as described in modern rational choice theory, but is significantly influenced by local culture, emotional proximity, ethnic identity, patron-client relations, and the legitimacy of traditional and religious leaders. Local culture functions as a medium for the production of political meaning that shapes voter preferences in electoral contestation. In this context, voting behavior represents a combination of pragmatic considerations and cultural values embedded within society. This study confirms that local democracy in Batu Bara Regency cannot be understood solely through formal political approaches, but must also be examined through the cultural dimensions that shape public political consciousness.

Abstract

This study examines the pedagogical role of Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) in traditional music learning among students of the Music, Dance, and Drama Education Study Program at the University of Palangka Raya. The research aims to analyze the functions of digital media, the role of DAW in the learning process, student interactions, creative exploration, and the integration of traditional music into digital environments. A qualitative case study approach was employed involving 21 students enrolled in the Central Kalimantan Traditional Music course. Data were collected through participatory observation, semi-structured interviews, documentation of student arrangement projects, FL Studio project files, audio recordings, and field notes. Data were analyzed using an interactive model and thematic analysis. The findings reveal that FL Studio functioned as a medium for musical exploration, production, and evaluation by enabling students to repeatedly revise and refine their musical arrangements. The learning process was characterized by active collaboration, peer assistance, lecturer guidance, and reflective practice, indicating the presence of scaffolding and collaborative knowledge construction. Students demonstrated creative exploration through experimentation with rhythm, melody, layering, and instrumentation while adapting traditional musical elements into digital formats. The integration of traditional instruments such as Panting Dayak, Rebana, and Gong Dayak into digital arrangements further demonstrated the potential of DAW-based learning to support cultural preservation and revitalization. The study concludes that DAW functions not only as a music production tool but also as a pedagogical environment that facilitates creativity, learner autonomy, collaborative learning, and cultural sustainability in higher education traditional music learning contexts.

Abstract

The musical composition Sitolu Sada was created by adopting the concept of “triadic unity” found in the cultural system of Dalihan Na Tolu. The composer chose this triadic concept because the Batak Toba community is deeply rooted in the symbolism of threes. This triadic principle is not only present in Dalihan Na Tolu, but also in Debata Na Tolu, Banua Na Tolu, and Bonang Manolu, all of which are important elements of Batak mythology. The concept of three is embedded into the structure of the music—reflected in its rhythm, meter, key signatures, timbre, harmony, and more. This composition highlights traditional Batak Toba musical values while incorporating elements of Western music. Sitolu Sada was developed using Alma Hawkins’ creative process methodology, which involves three main stages: exploration, improvisation, and composition. The composer went through several phases—from the initial idea to a fully realized musical performance. These stages include ideation, the creative process (exploration, improvisation, composition), presentation in performance form, and interpretation by musicians from notation to sound, ultimately making it accessible to listeners. The composition Sitolu Sada consists of three movements: Sitolu Sada I, Sitolu Sada II, and Sitolu Sada III. Through the creation of this work, it is hoped that the complexity of Dalihan Na Tolu can be appreciated and expressed as a creative outcome grounded in local wisdom and the rich values it represents.

Abstract

This study examines how perspective and nirmana principles are integrated in imaginative drawings produced by Primary School Teacher Education (PGSD) students in visual arts learning. Previous discussions of students’ drawings in art education have often treated perspective as a technical matter and nirmana as a list of visual elements. This study addresses that limitation by positioning both concepts as an integrated visual literacy framework for reading spatial construction, compositional order, and pedagogical readiness among prospective elementary school teachers. A descriptive qualitative design was employed using visual artwork analysis, classroom observation, documentation, and literature study. Ten student artworks were selected through criterion-based purposive sampling because they represented diverse themes, visual complexity, and varied applications of perspective and nirmana. The analysis sheet was developed from perspective indicators, nirmana principles, and stages of art criticism, then strengthened through expert judgment and inter-rater discussion. The findings reveal three patterns of visual construction: narrative-spatial, decorative-dense, and thematic-symbolic. Students demonstrated strength in visual imagination, local themes, color exploration, rhythm, and thematic unity; however, they still showed weaknesses in horizon awareness, vanishing point consistency, scale relations, proportional accuracy, focal point, and visual hierarchy. The study proposes a Perspective-Nirmana Integration model as a conceptual contribution for analyzing imaginative drawings in visual arts learning. Pedagogically, the findings imply that PGSD visual arts instruction should connect imaginative exploration with systematic exercises in spatial representation, composition, visual hierarchy, and reflective critique.

Abstract

This study examines the function of gondang bolon music in the Patarias Debata Mulajadi Nabolon ritual, an ancestral ceremony performed once every four years by descendants of Ompu Mamontang Laut Ambarita in Sihaporas Village, Pematang Sidamanik District, Simalungun Regency, North Sumatra. Using a qualitative descriptive method, data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation during the ritual performance held on 22-24 October 2022. Alan P. Merriam's theory of the uses and functions of music was applied to examine how gondang bolon mediates communication between the Toba Batak community and Mulajadi Nabolon, the supreme creator in their traditional belief system. The findings show that gondang bolon performs at least seven interrelated functions within the ritual: accompanying the ceremonial sequence, guiding the tortor dance and ritual movement, communicating symbolic and religious meaning, expressing emotion, reinforcing social interaction, strengthening communal solidarity, and sustaining cultural continuity across generations. Performed by an ensemble of five taganing, one gordang, three to four ogung, one hesek, and a sarune bolon, gondang bolon proves to be far more than musical accompaniment: each tone produced functions as an intermediary that carries offerings, prayers, and petitions from the community to the spiritual realm. Comparison with related studies of gondang sabangunan in other Toba Batak ritual contexts confirms that these functions recur across ceremonies while taking locally specific forms in Sihaporas. The study concludes that gondang bolon is central to both the sacredness and the social cohesion of the ritual, and recommends further ethnomusicological research on its musical structure and long-term sustainability.
