Abstract
Early Childhood Education (ECE) teachers from the Anggrek Cluster Teacher Working Group (KKG) in Gebang, Purworejo, face challenges in implementing drum band music as a learning medium for their students. In response to this issue, a Community Service Program (Community Service Program) was conducted with the aim of enhancing the artistic creativity of ECE teachers through percussion music training and a workshop. This program was carried out by students of STAINU Purworejo with 18 ECE teachers participating at TK IT Ash Shiddiqiyyah. The Community Service Program utilized a structured approach consisting of planning, mentoring, and monitoring stages. The core mentoring sessions covered three main topics: an introduction to basic notation, an introduction to melodies and arrangements of children's songs, and hands-on practice with percussion instruments. The results showed that the teachers successfully acquired both theoretical understanding and practical skills in drum band music, as demonstrated during the final hands-on practice session. This training successfully enhanced the teachers' competencies, equipping them to develop and apply musical arts more effectively and professionally for their students.
