Creating Songs Based On The Story Of Sirah Nabawiyah As A Media Education Of Early Children

ABSTRACT : This art creation research aims to produce a new method of creating educational songs rooted in the life values of the Prophet Muhammad SAW. This research is based on the desire to produce a creative and innovative product that can be applied as a medium for learning values and religious knowledge to accompany the growth and development of children taken from the example of the life of the Prophet Muhammad SAW. In addition, this research was also conducted to add to the repertoire of music that entertains as well as educates. The method used in this research is a qualitative approach. The process of tracing data and information was carried out using in-depth interviews with North Sumatra religious leaders as informants. Apart from that, a laboratory study was also carried out for analyzing the Sirah Nabawiyah books, as well as literacy studies such as journals, newspapers, magazines, and other materials containing information about the Sirah Nabawiyah. The research process consists of the preparation stage, the data collection stage, the data analysis stage, the production stage, up to the stage of concluding the results and research findings. The results of the study found that Sirah Nabawiyah can be packaged in the form of a song. Various stories of the Prophet Muhammad’s life journey in the Sirah Nabawiyah can be translated through song verses. The process of creating a song based on the Sirah Nabawiyah story goes through several stages, namely determining the theme, translating the story into lyrics, creating the melody, and compiling the style of the accompaniment music arrangement.
