摘要:AbstractImparting the necessary performance skills and knowledge in its appropriate cultural context for a more authentic representation of the music culture to the learner of traditional music is a main concern in the teaching and learning of traditional music. Using qualitative methods, this study suggests approaches that can be used to teach the Malay gamelan, which is a form of traditional music, whereby the learning and teaching of music are perceived as culturally contextualized and a range of pedagogic strategies are used to reflect the types of music being taught and the cultures from which the musics derive.
