| dc.description.abstract | This research is entitled "Nartini Huang's Biography as a Guzheng Musician in Medan
City". This paper discusses Ngartini Huang's biography of playing Guzheng until he is
proficient and his process of preserving Guzheng. The method used is a qualitative
method which is a description of the data that has been collected. For this reason, in
collecting data the authors carried out field work which included several aspects
including: interviews, visual documentation, and video recording. Then the author uses
the theory of Biographical Anthology of Biographical Authors (A. Baskara, 1999:34),
and the theory of musicians The Anthropology Of Music by Alan P. Merriam, (1964:123-
125). The results showed that Ngartini Huang was initially attracted to Guzheng through
watching films and then studied with Guzheng's teachers and professors and with
Guzheng's senior practitioners and participated in various Guzheng performances in
Indonesia and China. To preserve Guzheng, Ngartini Huang besides actively playing
Guzheng in various places, also established a Jade Music School in Medan City which
specifically teaches Guzheng and Pipa. | en_US |
