This is done for several stages, namely through cycle I and cycle II. In the trial test, the pre-test grade averages 52.3. The average grade that has been obtained is very low. Then conducted an experiment with a cycle I (post- test I) then the average grade increased by 66.33 but was declared incomplete. Furthermore, it is done by cycle II (post-test II), then the total number of class grades is increasing, amounting to 79.5 so that the value is declared complete and the cycle is not resumed. So, it can be concluded that the application of the STAD model of cooperative learning in learning the songs of the North Sumatra region in semester 2 students in music education study program has increased learning outcomes.
