Tabulasi Sebagai Media Pembelajaran Untuk Pengembangan Mahasiswa Dalam Permainan Gitar Teknik Klasik
type: item
description: This study is based on the challenges faced by beginner students in learning classical guitar, which commonly relies on standard notation. Such notation is often difficult to understand, thus hindering the learning process. To address this issue, tablature was chosen as an alternative learning medium that is more practical and easier to grasp. The research problem focuses on the process and outcomes of classical guitar learning using tablature with the piece Romance de Amor for second-semester students of the Music Education Program at UNWIRA. This research employed a qualitative approach with a field action method, involving five students who were willing to participate in intensive learning sessions. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The learning process included the introduction of tablature, basic technique exercises, mastery of the musical piece, and final evaluation. The results showed that tablature significantly helped students understand and practice classical guitar techniques without the burden of complex music theory. There was notable improvement in playing technique, rhythm accuracy, tempo, musical interpretation, and students’ confidence. In conclusion, tablature is an effective learning medium for teaching classical guitar to beginners and can serve as a reference for music educators in developing more adaptive and innovative instrumental teaching methods in academic settings.

Penyajian Dan Fungsi Alat Musik Nggo Damba Dalam Tarian Sara Fai Di kampung Nuan Muri Kecamatan Keo Tengah Kabupaten Nagekeo
type: item
description: Nggo Damba is a traditional percussion instrument originating from Keo Tengah Subdistrict and commonly used in cultural ceremonies, including the Peo-making ceremony and as accompaniment to the Sara Fai dance in welcoming guests. However, studies on Nggo Damba remain limited due to the lack of public knowledge regarding its presentation and playing techniques. This study aims to examine: (1) the form of presentation of the Nggo Damba musical instrument in the Sara Fai dance and (2) its functions in the cultural life of the community. This research employed a qualitative approach with an ethnographic method. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation and analyzed descriptively. The findings show that the presentation of Nggo Damba in the Sara Fai dance consists of three stages: the opening stage, marked by a procession carrying the statue of the Virgin Mary accompanied by Nggo Damba; the main stage, which involves the traditional welcoming ceremony with customary greetings (Bheasa); and the closing stage, in which guests are welcomed through the Sara Fai dance accompanied by Nggo Damba music. In addition, Nggo Damba serves several important functions in the community, namely as a means of communication, a medium in traditional ceremonies, an accompaniment for welcoming guests, a supporting element in wedding ceremonies, and a form of entertainment. These findings indicate that Nggo Damba holds both artistic and sociocultural significance in the traditions of Keo Tengah Subdistrict.

description: The Tau Nuhu dance, also known as the war dance, is a traditional dance representing the glory and bravery of the Krowe knights, an ethnic group in the Sikka region. It has been passed down from generation to generation as a cultural heritage and as a ritual medium for honoring ancestors and praying for safety in daily life.

The study aims to analyze and describe the performance of the dance in its cultural setting. This research used a qualitative approach with an ethnographic method.

The findings show that the Tau Nuhu dance is accompanied by fading gong music and bamboo percussion. These instruments are played rhythmically in patterns of slow and fast beats, requiring the dancers to respond with agility and precision. The uniqueness of the dance lies in its movements, the dynamic rhythm of the music, and the variation of bamboo percussion that enhances the performance. The dance consists of several sections: Awi Alu, Mage Mot, Gere Alu, Tua Reta Lo’u, and the closing section, Lori Lolo.
