Currently, educational music based on local wisdom in schools is rarely found, let alone educational music based on traditional children's game songs. Educational music based on local wisdom is considered important because through music it can be used as a medium for preserving local wisdom. One of the efforts to preserve cultural values ​​is through the reconstruction of educational music sourced from traditional Batak Toba children's game songs, namely sampele sampele. These samples tend to be unknown to children, especially in schools in Medan. The method used in this research is qualitative. This research approach is Art Practice by Research (PbR), which is the practice of creation as a form of research. It is hoped that the research results will be quite unique, namely through practice with the stages: experimentation, exploration and evaluation and performance.
