Abstract

The ‘affective domain’ supports students’ moral development, shaping their character. The research aims to investigate the music learning process in Indonesia, the Netherlands, and France and determine its contribution to the affective domain. The study adopted a mixed methods approach with sequential designs. In the first phase, qualitative data were collected through observations of learning processes as well as through interviews and document analysis. These qualitative data informed the development and administration of instruments for the second phase that measured aspects of the music learning process expected to contribute to the affective domain. Based on the analysis of 74 music learning processes, this research showed differences between the three countries in song choices and methods for developing the affective domain through music learning. Song choices in the Netherlands and France were based on the song’s potential to touch students’ feelings, while those used in Indonesia were selected to build moral character and foster national pride. In the Indonesian music learning context, persuasion and intervening were predominant methods – as they were (although to a lesser extent) in France. In contrast, the Netherlands made greater use of inculcation and, along with France, habituation.

Abstract

Songs, regarded as a form of musical expression, consistently mirror societal culture. This research aims to unveil and analyze the song tegalan, which serves as a portrayal of Tegal’s cultural identity. The research employs a qualitative descriptive methodology. Data collection for this study involved scrutinizing tegalan songs, particularly their lyrical content, with the purpose of comprehending the themes depicting the unique identity of the Tegal community. In addition to observation, the researcher conducted in-depth interviews with three notable tegalan song artists. A literature review was also undertaken to corroborate the research findings. The collected data was then distilled to extract information pertinent to the research theme, which was subsequently presented based on the interpretation of Tegal’s cultural identity and then conclusively analyzed. The research findings indicate that within the lyrics of tegalan songs, four cultural identities are discernible: (1) the utilization of colloquial Javanese infused with the “ngapak” dialect; (2) the characteristic of spontaneous and sincere communication reflective of the Tegal community’s culture; (3) the identity of coastal communities, which tend to exhibit straightforwardness; and (4) the diverse range of typical Tegal delicacies such as “sega ponggol”, tea with palm sugar (“teh poci gula batu”), among others. Based on these findings, it can be inferred that tegalan songs, in terms of their lyrical content, epitomize the linguistic culture of the Tegal community in both structure and communicative patterns. Moreover, in terms of messaging, these songs convey insights into the identity and distinctive attributes of the Tegal community..

Abstract

The funeral music of the Vietnamese people in the Northern Delta represents unique type of traditional musical heritage practiced and passed down by many generations of Vietnamese people to this day. Vietnamese people often say: “Sống dầu đèn, chết kèn trống” (If you live with lamp oil, die with trumpets and drums) - meaning that the sound of drums and trumpets at the funeral of the dead is like fire and oil in human life. However, this unique artistic heritage is facing a risk of change, as many traditional qualities in this type of music are gradually hybridizing and disappearing. The main research method of this study is qualitative research, focusing on in-depth interviews with elite artisans - elderly people with good memories and the ability to excel in practicing funeral music. In-depth interviews are done with artisans in families who have practiced and taught funeral music for generations. Research results show that the funeral music of Vietnamese people in the Northern Delta has changed quite a lot compared to tradition; Modern compositions songs are gradually being practiced in the Vietnamese funeral space here. The main reason is that the local cultural heritage management and preservation policy, for many years, was not given much attention. At the same time, pragmatic economic factors resulting from these artisans practicing this heritage in the face of the impact of the new economic context of society - are also the central cause of this transformation. The need to preserve this precious heritage in the cultural and social life of contemporary Vietnamese people is also an issue discussed in this study.

Abstract

Service-learning methodology seeks to achieve a balance between academic learning and the application of the acquired knowledge for the benefit of the community. Our study aims to assess the academic and personal development of the students who participated in the educational experience and identify the benefits it brought to the attended children. The total of 73 participants involved: a) university students of a faculty of education, b) hospitalized children and their families, c) a healthcare worker, and d) several volunteers. We conducted a case study featuring qualitative analysis (based on discussion groups, interviews, and daily narratives), analysis of co-occurrence, and data triangulation. The categories we obtained were related to learning achieved by university students, their personal growth, and the impact of hospital service on the different agents who participated in the experience. Findings suggest that service-learning, along with the positive emotional impact of experiential music learning, was associated with student progress in teacher training and personal development.

Abstract

The exaggeration of Oscar Wilde’s aestheticism that the work of art is purely for beauty and pleasure and has nothing to do with morality makes it very difficult for his moral philosophy to be conceived. Even his novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, which is meant to balance his exaggeration of pleasure in his aestheticism, is often misinterpreted as an aesthetic eulogy. At the same time, some see it as a pure contradiction to his former philosophic position. This paper, therefore, attempts to identify his moral philosophy through a dialectic study of his aestheticism and The Picture of Dorian Gray. As it is qualitative research, the authors source their data primarily from literary works by Oscar Wilde, while other library materials serve as secondary sources. Various philosophical tools, especially dialectics and hermeneutics, are applied in data interpretation. The finding is that contrary to the expectation and assumption of many scholars, ethical hedonism rather than aesthetic hedonism is his moral philosophy.

Abstract

Panji masks are one of the mask arts that originated in Indonesia and come in a variety of styles. One of the existing Panji mask styles is the Yogyakarta style, made of Pule wood and used in dance or theater performances. While in Japan, masks used in dance or theater performances, known as Noh masks, are made of cypress wood. Panji masks and Noh masks are long-standing cultural heritage arts. This study aims to identify and analyze the similarities and differences between the elements of art and the principles of art preserved in the Panji and Noh masks. A comparative qualitative method was used for the study. Library research, observation, interviews, documentation, and focused group discussions (FGD) were used to collect the data. Data processing and preparation, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing were all completed in stages. The results revealed similarities and differences between the Panji and Noh masks. Several principles are shared by Panji and Noh masks, including point elements, line shape, the principle of unity, balance, rhythm, proportion, and the principle of harmony. The line, field/shape element, color element, texture element, and emphasis principle are all different. These similarities and differences are due to a variety of factors, including the two countries’ geographical proximity (both on the Asian continent), as well as their history, customs, and culture.

Abstract

The relevance of the presented paper is conditioned upon the fact that today, the subject of the development of moral values in children with visual impairment through musical motifs of folklore is a very understudied issue. However, based on the statistics of the World Health Organisation for 2021, about 2.2 billion people worldwide have visual impairments. The purpose of this paper is to study the features of the psychological and pedagogical characteristics of children with visual impairments, their moral development, and the development of ways of spiritual and moral education through folk music. To achieve this purpose, the following methods were used: analysis, synthesis, comparison, induction, statistical analysis, and deduction. In particular, the method of statistical analysis of sources of American, Kazakh, and Russian researchers within the boundaries of the subject was used. The practical basis was the statistical data of the WHO company for 2021. The result of the study was a complete analysis of the statistics of children with visual impairment in the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The study’s main conclusion is that modern methods of teaching children with visual impairment are based on the musical accompaniment of educational activities since the musical form allows the development of moral values. Visually impaired students are characterised by insufficient development of the visual-imaginative level of mental activity, which determines the uniqueness of specific conceptual thinking due to visual perception disorders and limited visual experience. The alienation of a child with visual impairments from others entails secrecy and lack of communication, which can be expressed in a large volume of complexes in the future. The applied value of this paper lies in the development of recommendations for improving the system of pedagogical education of children with visual impairment through folklore-applied developmental classes.

Abstract

Shadow theatre is an educational resource based on the use of silhouettes and the body as a means of communication. It allows the incorporation of music and sound effects that help students discover movement possibilities in the stage space. It also encourages collaborative work through the creation of groups. Therefore, the aim of this research is the incorporation of shadow theatre as a performance art for the promotion of uninhibited corporal expression and group cohesion. An action-research methodology is used to define a didactic proposal that incorporates shadow theatre in the field of music education at primary school. The learning situation is carried out in two public schools in the province of Malaga, with a sample of 213 students. The results indicate that shadow theatre effectively improved pupils’ body expression and group cohesion. Some students had initial difficulties, but thanks to the anonymity provided by this resource, fear of ridicule was reduced. It is proposed to compare this resource with theatre in order to define whether the method of incorporating the shadow is really effective.

Abstract

For the different embodiments of exotic styles in musical compositions, composers have provided a number of examples of patterns and new directions, broadly summarizing it as the musical characteristics of a different region, whether apparent or not, that are reflected in a musical work. Bright Sheng is one of the leading Chinese-American whose significant works exhibits a strong exotic style using Western compositional technique. This article analyses Sheng’s Dance Capriccio composed in 2011, featuring Sherpa folk music. The analysis focuses on how Sherpa folk song and dance are reflected in Dance Capriccio, emphasizing how the tonal and rhythmic construction reflects the traditional folk song. It is also gathered that the gestural movement of Sherpa dances are reflected in this work. This paper will provide an insight into the infinite possibilities of modernist works through the integration and narration with exotic characteristics.
