Abstract

This study examines the perceptual changes of learners after implementing the convergence-based music education program, Soundscape Design, which focuses on the integration of music and science. The study also investigates the effectiveness and significance of the program. The purpose of this program is to provide students with meaningful artistic experiences by consciously paying attention to sound as "artists of life," creating music pieces with intention, and reflecting on sound and music. The program is divided into two parts: Part 1, "Understanding Sound," based on M. Schafer's concept of Soundscapes, and Part 2, consisting of "Soundscape Design" and "Reflection" phases. The results of the reflection questions show that through the Soundscape Design activities, students underwent changes in their perception of sound and music. They gained the realization that an artist is not necessarily a great figure, but rather an ordinary person like themselves, capable of becoming an artist, dealing with struggles. Moreover, their perception changed regarding artworks, understanding that art requires considerable time and effort, holds intention and meaning, provides new perspectives, and encompasses everyday life. These changes suggest a potential shift in students' attitudes toward art.
