Hopefully, these findings can be the foundation of education, conservation, and innovation, and also as skills to improve the society’s welfare, not only Kampung Naga society, but also other societies, especially in the context of education at school. </span></p>

This study aims to investigate how indigenous music education serves as an instrument of transmitting local knowledge of religious and cultural systems situated in one of the cultural heritage sites called Kampung Naga, based in West Java, Indonesia. Indigenous music education, in the existing body of literature of local knowledge, has to date been an understudied topic compared to agriculture, local medication, language, and literature. Therefore, as an ethnographic study, the present research serves to fill that void. Data were gained by a way of observations, interviews, documentation and audio-visual recording. Couched under the analysis of local education values, music in Kampung Naga is of empirical interests. Traditional music has been transmitted from elders to the younger generation through informal education. The elders employ a local knowledge system as the basis of their teaching practice by which the younger generation constructs spiritual experience and self-introspection. Music is productively used to fortify faith and respect ancestors. In conclusion, Islamic values and Sundanese culture, in Kampung Naga, are blended to produce an educational value about God and nature.

The research was conducted to develop a music model based on local wisdom at Cikondang village, Pangalengan, West Java. The research problem was that, along with the changing times, the next generation tended to ignore the values of local wisdom. Therefore, through music learning, the values of art could be understood and actualized in everyday life. Music (nembang and ngabeluk) became a medium to express values in pupuh verses which contained wawacan about the relationship between man and their God, man, and others, and man and their surroundings. The data collection was done using observation, interview, and literature review then analyzed with the music education approach. The obtained results reveal that the learning process of seni beluk in Cikondang Village has taken place in the context of community education which is done informally, and formed naturally. There is no invitation or coercion from the elders to the next generation to learn this art form. Meanwhile, for people from the next generation who has a passion for learning. The learning steps do not only train their techniques, but they also learn about the values ingrained in the pupuh verses.

The development of technology and information demands elementary school teachers to be able to make and teach technology-based musical instruments so that the development of technology and information can be used in the learning process. Elementary school teachers also have problems teaching musical composition using ensemble musical instruments. Teachers also lack strategies and media to teach musical instruments, so they need to have ideas for developing technology-based musical instruments. This study aims to develop the elementary school teachers’ ability to innovate and make music learning media using a computerized system. The research design used was action research. The participants were 38 teachers from nine regencies and cities in West Java, Indonesia. The results showed that the teachers were able to complete the task of making technology-based learning media which means that they were able to develop their technological abilities to make music learning media. Teachers can easily use and master the Scratch application to make music learning media. It can be concluded that with structured and controlled training, elementary school teachers can develop themselves and innovate well.
