ABSTRACT

The aim of the study is to instill tolerance through a choral lesson which focuses on Nusantara songs. Indonesia’s diversity fosters differences of opinions, habits, and perspectives. Therefore, we need to understand how to respond to these differences which can be accomplished through the process of understanding Nusantara songs originated from diverse regions in the form of school choirs. The research is experimental by using pretest post test design. Students are invited to examine and experience Nusantara songs from Sumatra, Java, to Papua so that students are able to recognize and understand the diversity of Indonesia as reflected in the Nusantara songs.
