Traditional music at SD YBPK Wonorejo is still being preserved through various activities, one of which is

refers to the data analysis model according to Miles & Huberman, which consists of several stages, namely: Data
collection, data reduction, data display, and conclusions. To ensure the validity of the data, this study used technical

Elementary School was carried out through extracurricular activities. After angklung music was implemented, there
were positive changes in students, where they became more responsible in maintaining and playing musical instruments,
as well as more disciplined in participating in training and working together in groups. Supporting factors in the
implementation of this program include support from the school, students' enthusiasm, and the availability of angklung
instruments. There are obstacles in implementation such as limited musical instruments, lack of teaching staff which causes
time inefficiency. The implementation of angklung music at YBPK Wonorejo Elementary School has gone well and has
