The Fusion of 3D Animation Film and Macapat Song Increases the Curiosity of Junior High School Students to Learn Traditional Music

Abstract

Traditional music is often unpopular with the younger generation. This research proposed that middle-school students would become more curious about traditional songs which have been fused with 3D animation films. The research used descriptive quantitative methods. 111 junior high school students in Malang recruited through incidental sampling responded to a questionnaire. The results showed increases in the average cognitive and conative reaction to Tembang Macapat after seeing the Macapat animation, as well as a reduction in affective reaction.
