Abstract

Minimax is the thought of composer Slamet Abdul Sjukur as another option that departs from (minimal) limitations and utilizes them to the maximum. This concept is considered very conducive to developing creativity and sensitivity, especially in the context of music education. Based on musical composition observations, various aspects are similar between Slamet Abdul Sjukur’s Minimax concept and several ethnic music concepts in Indonesia, especially regarding the idea of limiting the musical material. The purpose of writing this article is to review the Minimax concept of Slamet Abdul Sjukur so that it can be implemented in the practice of music education based on ethno-pedagogy studies. The method used is document analysis by taking several sample documents in the form of writing, notation, and audio/video about the concept of Minimax Slamet Abdul Sjukur, which is then interpreted to obtain meaning that can be implemented in music education praxis. From the analysis process, it was found that the concept of Minimax is essentially related to ethnic music, namely, the use of musical instruments and materials tends to be limited as necessary as a characteristic of the composition concept. In his limited situation, Slamet Abdul Sjukur captures this phenomenon, so that his ideas have an educational impact, especially on the development of students’ musical creativity. Various limitations that exist in facilities, and resources in the music education process, are no longer a problem if what is limited is fully realized and developed to the fullest as Slamet Abdul Sjukur did. If we take it deeper, the concept of Minimax Slamet Abdul Sjukur can be used as a solution to the problem of music education, both music practice activities and understanding meaning in building cultural values based on ethno-pedagogy.
