Abstract
This article is part of a thesis entitled “The Development of a Short Training Course on Music Creation Using MIDI,” which presents the research and development (R&D) phase. The objectives of this study are: (1) to analyze theories, concepts, and fundamental components related to the development of a short training course on music creation using MIDI and (2) to develop a short-term training course in music creation by MIDI based on experiential learning theory. This study employed a qualitative research approach, consisting of (1) document analysis and in-depth interviews with experts in MIDI and music technology, with the data analyzed through content analysis and synthesized into a conceptual framework and core components of the training course; and (2) the development and quality validation of the training course using the Index of Item-Objective Congruence (IOC), along with qualitative feedback from experts.
The findings revealed that: (1) the course content should integrate both theoretical and practical components, beginning with fundamental knowledge of MIDI principles, followed by the use of software for music production. The learning progression includes note input, editing, and refinement to enhance the realism of sound, and further extends to creative applications of MIDI in producing music for various media such as advertisements, films, games, and multimedia; and (2) the developed short-term training course consists of 6 learning units covering both theoretical knowledge and practical skills, designed based on experiential learning principles. To promote hands-on learning, combined with reflective practice, leading to enhanced understanding, the development of MIDI-related skills, and the ability to effectively apply MIDI knowledge in music creation. The expert evaluation indicated that the course achieved an average IOC value of 0.97, which is considered acceptable, and demonstrates readiness for implementation in the subsequent phase.
