Key Findings/Conclusion:
The study underlines several interesting notes in implementing the kupingan method to foreign learners with written musical tradition. It is found that kupingan method is able to be incorporated in this context, despite to a very limited extent. As the results suggest, the participants were able to master the introduction to basic techniques and play patterns of gamelan instruments in gending lancaran composition. Moreover, the patterns of instruments, vocal songs, and dynamics of relatively complex compositions are more effectively conveyed by using detailed musical notation. The habit of reading scores of Western musical compositions makes it easy and fast for them to accept and master the karawitan composition topics compared to the kupingan method.
