Abstract
Within the pandemic era, the traditional education system has been transformed to e-learning based, with learning held through the help of the hardware, software, and internet. Music higher educational system in Indonesia usually used direct engagement, but pandemic changed this system to be e-learning based. E-learning separated lecturer and student by distance, were both have a problem as follows: a bad signal, limited insight about meeting application, and audio delay. Therefore, lecturer must find a new way to encourage the student, for instance give task to student to upload the video to YouTube. This paper aims to describe a novel learning pattern in music learning system during covid-19 pandemic. Qualitative is the method that was used in this paper, writer interviewed 6 enrolled students from different majors, which included piano, drum, and guitar. Data collected with semi structured interviews through Zoom meeting. Interview was in Bahasa, just a point of view that was translated to English. Based on this research, though the students go through difficulties in the early phase during a pandemic, writer find that they get a new way to understand the lecture from e-learning. For instance, after they record the video, they could assess themselves from the video, which is usually in traditional learning where they only have one opportunity to show their learning result to the audience. These situations help them to have more practice time than before. Except those benefit, they are getting a new expertise, which able how to edit a video and operating Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) also.
