Pengembangan Kompetensi Seni Karawitan Musik Pemuda Desa Sumber Wungu Kecamatan Sale Kabupaten Rembang

Abstract

Research in Sumber Wungu Village, Rembang, highlights the role of youth in preserving the arts of karawitan and puppetry through the Sumber Laras Irung Petruk group. These activities serve as entertainment, formal education, character building, and strengthening cultural and economic identity. This study used qualitative data, focusing primarily on field data. Data collection methods included observation, interviews, and documentation. The study employed four informants. The results showed that through regular training, guidance from community leaders, and the use of digital media, youth demonstrated increased discipline, creativity, leadership, and religiosity. Despite constraints on training and facilities, their enthusiasm remained high, making active youth participation key to preserving local culture and shaping a cultured, Golden Indonesia generation.
