Abstract
2020 is a very challenging year because of the covid-19 pandemic and this completely changed the music education landscape. In the past, learning musical instruments could be done face to face, now it is impossible. If no action is taken, this situation could cause stress among students, especially those who learning gamelan ensemble instruments. Unlike other musical instruments, the ensemble gamelan is expensive and student cant afford to buy it. That is why set of gamelan is only owned by the university and placed in the faculty only. Due to this, students who live far away are unable to practice their gamelan instrument due to movement control order these days. Therefore, this study introduces Gamelan E-Learning Techniques, which is the concept of learning gamelan basic hand techniques using a simulation methods for keromong, gambang, saron and gendang. The uniqueness of this study is due to the emphasis on the basic hand techniques of gamelan. By using google class application as well, lecturers can upload learning videos as well as assessment of student game techniques online can be done. This study uses experimental case study method with qualitative approach. The participants consisted of second semester of 36 students who attended the AME 3082 gamelan course at Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI).

Not just students can not come to campus for practice due to movement control order, another issues arise in the context of contents for Malay Gamelan learning materials
This study examines the approach of teaching and learning of gamelan playing technique through the online platform of google classroom
Summary
2020 is a very challenging year because of the covid-19 pandemic and this completely changed the music education landscape. Another reason that learning Gamelan online is not plausible because students can not afford to buy a set of Malay Gamelan because it is very expensive. There are some Gamelan application available for download in google playstore, but most of the applications are not suitable for learning Gamelan playing techniques It is because in Malaysia, students taking Gamelan as their major instrument studies are expose to Malay Gamelan, not Java Gamelan. We would like to share the idea of how to teach Malaysian Gamelan students a correct way of learning basic playing technique for keromong, gambang, saron and gendang online using google classroom platform
