Nowadays, teenagers enjoy listening to national or international genre music because the music very popular. Music with new style and support by many various of musical instrument not like traditional music with same instrument and no variation. Meanwhile, their traditional music like disappear or never perform in their society and the music very conventional style without any improvement. Furthermore, adult people not teach to their children about original music, while they just let their children enjoys other genre music from different country.

Meanwhile, children should be to understand if traditional music have value and make life full colour. On the other hand, young people should try to enjoy and be familiar with their traditional music and should proud for what they have.
