DRUMBAND EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES AS AN EFFORT TO DEVELOP COOPERATION AND EARLY CHILDHOOD DISCIPLINE
Abstract
This study aims to explore the role of drumband extracurricular activities in developing cooperation and discipline among early childhood children at RA Bani Adam Boyolali. The study was conducted because cooperation and discipline are important character values that should be developed from an early age through enjoyable and meaningful learning experiences. Previous studies mainly focused on motor development and musical abilities, while studies exploring the process of developing cooperation and discipline through drumband activities remain limited. This study employed a qualitative approach using a case study design. The participants consisted of the school principal, two teachers or drumband trainers, and 60 children participating in drumband extracurricular activities. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. Interviews were conducted with teachers and the principal, while observations focused on children’s participation, discipline, and cooperation during practice sessions. The data were analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing techniques. Data validity was ensured through source and technique triangulation. The findings revealed that drumband extracurricular activities contributed significantly to the development of children’s cooperation and discipline. Children demonstrated improved ability to coordinate with peers, follow instructions, obey rules, arrive on time, and take responsibility during practice sessions. In addition, drumband activities positively influenced children’s confidence, communication skills, concentration, social-emotional development, creativity, and gross motor coordination. The implementation of habituation strategies and collaborative learning supported the development of positive character values among children. Drumband extracurricular activities can serve as an effective medium for character education in early childhood settings because they provide direct and meaningful collaborative experiences. The findings highlight the importance of integrating music-based extracurricular activities into early childhood character development programs. Future studies are recommended to investigate the long-term effects of drumband participation on children’s character and social-emotional development.
