The fundamental problem is that the learning conditions have not been fully maximized, considering that the true essence of learning is not fulfilled. Apart from these problems, music education has not provided freedom and personal maturity as subjectivity. The reason is a lack of effort to foster a sense of self-awareness and responsibility to individual students. This study aims to provide awareness to educators to be able to direct students to explore exploration experiences in music and get closer to the surrounding environment. This study uses a humanistic-oriented literacy analysis method from various perspectives of competent experts. This study's results provide consideration for music education to improve by prioritizing student experience through musical art elements, including ways of expression, appreciation, creation, and forming harmony with the environment. In conclusion, music educators must provide encouragement, motivation, and support for the search for student identity in finding knowledge, skills, and positive attitudes by adjusting individual character to the surrounding environment.

This study aims to develop an Android application-based e-Module on the Makassar Flute learning material for Year 8 junior high school students. The development of e-Module learning media based on android application is an alternative in the use of technology. Essentially, the commonly used sources and learning media are in the form of physical books, but with advances in technology, learning media can be presented in digital form. The development model refers to the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) development model developed by Dick and Carry. However, in this study, it is limited to only three stages, namely ADD (Analysis, Design, Development). The development process at this stage starts from the Analysis stage by conducting needs analysis, student character analysis, analysis of hardware and software, and analysis of basic competencies. The second stage is the Design stage, which is the preparation of the flowchart and the preparation of the e-Module material and content. Then the next stage is the Development stage, in which the learning media production is carried out using the Corel Draw X4 application, which is subsequently converted to an Android-based application by utilizing the Appsgeyser application. The development of this Android-based e-Module learning media can serve as an option for the use of culture and art learning media, especially in the material of traditional musical instruments.
