Aesthetics values strengthen the existence of syncretic music by molding taste and interest among the listeners. It somehow creates various feelings whether to appreciate, accept, or against the music, further developing musical preferences among individuals. Exploring aesthetic values in popular and traditional music is crucial as many cultures have influenced Malaysia due to colonization, trading, wedding, and migration. This paper reviews on Malaysian syncretic music, the aesthetic values in Malaysian popular and traditional music, and the influence factors of Malaysian music. It is found that there was a confluence of various intercultural musical elements in the early era, while assimilation has taken place due to traditional Malay rhythmic patterns and traditional folk themes. This led to the Malaysian conception of music and musical composition, creating the idea that Malaysian music has drastically expanded its artistic resources since the pre-colonial era. We also found communities living in the pre-modern or modern era have different unique taste in the aesthetic characteristics. Despite this, most remote communities are compelled to participate in postmodernity in some way due to the globalization of media, capital, and mobile networks. These combinations result in many theories, concepts, and discourses that enrich aesthetic values in Malaysian syncretic music. Keywords: Syncretic music, culture, Malaysian music, aesthetic, music assimilation, traditional music"

Since the words of traditional Mandarin nursery rhymes contain actual language used, they provide learners with the opportunity to be exposed to the target language naturally. In this environment of natural contact, learners can learn Mandarin happily and comfortably, learn Mandarin effectively, and reduce the burden of Mandarin learning. Therefore, if the traditional Mandarin nursery rhymes are used properly for learning, they can be applied to the actual field of Mandarin education, and it will be possible to effectively guide students.

Kelebihan penggunaan pendekatan Euritmik Dalcroze telah dibuktikan dalam pelbagai kajian lepas yang memfokuskan kepada penggunaan fizikal badan dengan elemen muzik tetapi tidak dalam bidang koordinasi nyanyian dan permainan alat muzik. Kemahiran koordinasi ini amat penting dalam pembelajaran muzik termasuk membuat persembahan. Namun demikian, didapati kemahiran yang melibatkan pergerakan permainan alat muzik serentak dengan nyanyian ini sukar dilakukan dengan kaedah pengajaran sedia ada dalam kalangan guru-guru sekolah rendah. Hal ini menyebabkan kekangan dalam pelbagai persembahan muzik yang melibatkan koordinasi muzikal terutamanya menyanyi sambil bermain alat muzik. Ini bukan sahaja menjejaskan kualiti persembahan malah memerlukan masa latihan yang lama walaupun kanak-kanak sudah mempunyai kebolehan menyan...

A problem that has been identified is that children are unable to sing and play traditional percussion (kompang) simultaneously during school music performance. It appears that the necessary skill is barely coached with the current teaching methods used by primary school teachers. This not only affects performance quality but also necessitates more hours of training despite students being talented in singing or playing musical instruments. The purpose of this study is to apply the Dalcroze Eurhythmics approach to improve musical coordination skill among primary school students. Hence, a quasi-experimental design was used to collect data from two groups of 9-year-old students in a Malaysian primary school, 35 in the experiment group and 35 in the control group. The pre-test and post-test data consist of mean value, standard deviation, percentage, and T-test analysis. The instrument used for data collection is a Practical Music Test. The result of the research shows that: (1) there is a significant difference between pretest and post-test scores in the experiment group, (2) there is significant difference in achievement score post-test between the control and experiment group, and (3) there is a significant difference between the achievement scores of the control and experiment groups. The present study has proven music coordination skill has potential to be developed as a part of music education in primary school. The findings also reveal that the Dalcroze Eurhythmics approach is an appropriate intervention.
