Traditional modes of cultural expression are being restructured where changes in musical practices and sound systems are affecting composers to remain vital. New music for the Malay gamelan using new modes of expression require schools to act as agents for change and innovation to occur. This study examines the direction gamelan music is taking in Malaysia and its implications on music education in Malaysia in order for the gamelan to remain relevant.</p><p>Keywords: Malay gamelan; teaching; learning; approaches</p><p><em>eISSN: 2398-4287 </em><em>© 2021..
