Abstract

This approach explores the integration of ethno-art methods in Karawitan education to address the challenges of sustainability and effectiveness of traditional music teaching in Indonesia. Karawitan, a performing art rich in aesthetic and philosophical values, plays a significant role in arts education in Indonesia. However, Karawitan teaching faces obstacles, including limited facilities, a lack of systematic teaching materials, and the need for more effective teacher training. This study uses qualitative methods with in-depth analysis of related literature to understand how ethno-art approaches can improve the quality of teaching and learning Karawitan. The research focuses on how integrating music theory and practice with ethnographic and anthropological aspects of Karawitan can enrich the learning experience and increase student participation and interest. Through the ethno-art approach, the teaching of Karawitan includes the transmission of musical knowledge and provides an in-depth understanding of the historical and cultural values contained therein. Also, the ethno-art approach considers using interactive methods in the classroom, culturally-based curriculum development, and engaging students in out-of-class activities involving local communities and traditions. The results show that the ethno-art approach offers a practical framework to educate students holistically, maintaining and promoting Karawitan heritage as an essential Indonesian cultural asset.
