Abstract

The purposes of this research were as follows: (1) to study learning achievement in reading musical notes among keyboard students using the MUSIC LAND game at Rajini School; and (2) to study keyboard students’ satisfaction towards learning keyboard with the MUSIC LAND game. The participants consisted of twenty students who studied keyboard in the second semester of the 2019 academic year. The research used a One-Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The tools included the MUSIC LAND game, which was used as an experimental tool, and the data collection tools, which consisted of learning achievement tests and a satisfaction survey. The statistics used for data analysis were T-Test for dependent sample, mean and standard deviation (SD). The results revealed that the students who learned keyboard using MUSIC LAND demonstrated higher posttest scores than those of the pretest with a statistical significance of .05. Furthermore, the students were very satisfied with learning keyboard with the MUSIC LAND game (M = 4.82 and SD = 0.19).
