Music cannot be separated from the society of which it is a part, historically and culturally. Music is also deeply intertwined with nature as a significant source for inspiration to express emotions and to promote ecological awareness with the ability to evoke tranquility and to connect with natural environment. While environmentalism has become a recurring theme in diverse musical genres from folk and protest songs to classical art music, music teachers tend to neglect the close relationships between music and nature; thus, the scope of studies focusing on such relationships is seldom scrutinized. The 2014 Music Standards recommend that students learn to relate musical ideas and works with varied contexts to deepen their understanding of the functions music plays in those contexts and in students’ daily life experiences. Questions about how other arts, disciplines, and contexts “inform creating, performing, and responding to music” are constantly brought up as guidelines for PK-8 general music teachers to enrich their students’ learning experiences. The purpose of this session is to introduce an interdisciplinary approach through contextualization of the content of music, using it to lead to the study of related works in various disciplines of literature, history, cultural studies, and environmental/ecological studies, specifically, through traditional music genres of Keroncong (old fashion pop music) and Tembang Dolanan Anak (children’s singing games) in Indonesia. Motivating students to engage in integrative thinking to explore music’s connection with relevant subjects mentioned above, in this contextualized lesson model, I hope to provide students with a global learning experience that would broaden their knowledge of the world and increase their global awareness. In addition, it is also the purpose of this workshop to introduce “ecomusicological” study that explores how music reflects and interacts with the natural world and how music can be used to inspire and advocate for a harmonious relationship to bridge the gap between humans and nature.
