ABSTRACT Auliana Rahimma. (2025). Piano Learning for Early Childhood Based on the Orff Method at Lively Music. [Undergraduate Thesis, Universitas Syiah Kuala]. Under the supervision of Dr. Ahmad Sya’i, S.Pd., M.Sn and Yuli Astuti, S.Pd., M.Pd. This study aims to describe the process and results of piano learning based on the Orff Method in early childhood at Lively Music Banda Aceh. The study uses a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The research subjects consisted of three children aged 5–7 years who took private piano lessons. The results showed that the application of the Orff Method, which involved playing, singing, moving, counting, and speaking activities, was able to improve children's musical understanding, fine motor coordination, and musical expression. The learning was conducted in a gradual and interactive manner through eleven meetings with the following syntax: 1) exploring rhythm through movement, tapping, and games, 2) imitating musical patterns through singing and playing basic piano notes, 3) developing music games gradually and interactively, and 4) creating music by echoing stories and imagination. The analysis found that the Orff Method creates a fun learning atmosphere, develops creativity, and strengthens the interaction between teachers and students. The children showed significant progress in their piano playing skills, concentration, and self-confidence. Thus, the Orff Method has been proven to be effective for teaching piano to young children.
