Playing Bungo Krinok in the Kelintang Kalinong Gedang Ensemble: A Model for Learning Traditional Jambi Music

Abstract

This learning model introduces the Bungo Krinok music ensemble in the Kelintang Kalinong Gedang format to students. The ensemble consists of several instrumental divisions, namely melodic kalinong, interlocking kalinong, ornamental kalinong, emphasizing kalinong, rhythmic kalinong, gong, and drums. Each division is played with its own striking pattern and function. The Kalinong Gedang ensemble has its own tonal system, called the Kalinong Gedang scale. This learning process includes the introduction of the tonal system, the practice of playing techniques for each instrument, and ensemble performance skills with accuracy and coordination, including singing accompanied by the Kelintang Kalinong Gedang ensemble. The music of this ensemble can be performed instrumentally or as accompaniment to songs, serving as a medium for learning, understanding, and preserving traditional Jambi music.
