Its presence makes it easier for humans to solve problems and meet various needs, including the preservation of traditional Indonesian arts. This article attempts to examine how social media can become a learning medium for traditional Indonesian arts, namely pedalangan. The arts related closely related to the art of pewayangan (puppetry in general) which is more widely known by the Indonesian people. The art of pedalangan includes several fields, namely mendalang (playing shadow puppets) and mengrawit (playing musical instruments - gamelan). This article is the result of research on the Sanggar Monod Laras community in Semarang City. This community consists of children from generation Z and alpha who are students and young pamong.
