The Making of Percussion Instruments from Used Goods as A Media for Developing Elementary School Music Arts Creativity

Abstract

Creativity is something that children must have. Music art is one of the sub-themes in Cultural Arts and Crafts (SBDP). The research method uses a qualitative approach with a narrative type that applies interview data collection, observation, and documentation. The results of students' creativity in learning music can be done through making musical instruments from used goods which are later expected to become one of the media to increase students' creativity in music. In addition, making percussion instruments can solve students' boredom in learning the art of music. This article aims to explain the importance of student creativity in learning music and how to apply it to learn the art of music, so it doesn't get boring and monotonous. Hopefully, this article will provide a reference for teachers or prospective teachers in making rhythmic music learning media.
