Learning Music Rhythm Through Application of Fruity Loops in Courses Music for Early Childhood

Rhythm as the basis for forming music certainly has an important and fundamental role in being able to be applied in other musical materials such as vocals and songwriting. The practical rhythm learning method used still does not use learning media that supports meeting learning outcomes. There are plenty of uses for learning rhythm that can bolster the applicability of theoretical knowledge of its use in classroom art instruction. Fruity Loops is a type of music software that is very popular with electronic musicians and various musicians who are not involved in the digital world. Identifying out how useful the Fruity Loops media program is for teaching musical rhythms is the main goal of this study. Pre-experimental design type one group pretest-posttest (initial test, single group final test) is used in this research procedure. It is known that the pretest average is 67 and the posttest average is 71 based on the findings of the paired sample test. Thus, it can be concluded that using the Fruity Loops media software helps the students learn and improve their abilities to play musical rhythms.
