Students were evaluated through daily observation and video recordings. Grading was connected to the State Music Standards. Furthermore, a gamelan survey created by Joko Sutrisno provided an additional summative assessment. 2: Joko Sutrisno's process provides structured learning for grades 3-5 students of varying ability and music backgrounds to acquire basic Gamelan skills.
