Summary
Written by AI, not yet AICS's view · claude-sonnet-5-5This descriptive qualitative study looks at how an angklung (bamboo instrument) extracurricular activity is planned, carried out and assessed at an elementary madrasah boarding school, Ma'had Al-Zaytun in Indramayu, West Java. Data came from observation, interviews and documents, with eight informants: one committee chairman, two instructors and five fifth-grade students. The activity follows set stages for planning, implementation and evaluation. The authors report that it supports four aspects of musical intelligence, and that progress is gradual and differs between students.
Key points
- Planning is based on the L-STEAMS curriculum, with gradual materials, song targets and note distribution by grade level.
- Implementation includes opening routines, basic technique drills, the Kodály hand sign method, check sound and ensemble playing.
- Evaluation uses continuous observation, individual practical tests, conducting opportunities and performances.
- The activity contributes to auditory stimulation, rhythm and tempo, musical memory, and musical expression and appreciation.
- Development varies among students depending on attendance, concentration, experience and willingness to memorize.
Limitations
The study is a small qualitative case study at one school with eight informants, so it cannot show how widely the findings apply or measure the size of any effect. It has no comparison group and no before-and-after measurement of musical intelligence.
Abstract
Angklung music extracurricular activities provide elementary madrasah students with direct and collaborative musical experiences, yet studies examining how such programs are planned, implemented, and evaluated, and how they contribute to musical intelligence in boarding school-based Madrasah Ibtidaiyah settings, remain limited, as most previous studies have focused on early childhood education or on other musical media. This study aims to describe the planning, implementation, and evaluation of angklung extracurricular activities and to analyze their role in developing the musical intelligence of students at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Ma’had Al-Zaytun, Indramayu, West Java. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation involving eight purposively selected informants, namely the chairman of the Ma’had Al-Zaytun Sports and Arts Committee (KOSMAZ), two angklung instructors, and five fifth-grade students. Data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, while credibility was established through methodological triangulation. The findings show that the activity is carried out in structured stages: planning based on the L-STEAMS curriculum, gradual materials, song targets, and note distribution according to grade level; implementation through opening routines, basic technique drills, the Kodály hand sign method, check sound, and ensemble playing; and evaluation through continuous observation, individual practical tests, conducting opportunities, and performances. The activity contributes to musical intelligence in four aspects, namely auditory stimulation, reinforcement of rhythm and tempo, musical memory, and musical expression and appreciation. This development occurs gradually and varies among students depending on attendance, concentration, experience, and willingness to memorize. These findings imply that angklung extracurricular programs can serve as a practice-based arts education medium in madrasah, provided that attendance consistency and assessment instruments based on musical intelligence indicators are strengthened.
