This study aims to investigate how indigenous music education serves as an instrument of transmitting local knowledge of religious and cultural systems situated in one of the cultural heritage sites called Kampung Naga, based in West Java, Indonesia. Indigenous music education, in the existing body of literature of local knowledge, has to date been an understudied topic compared to agriculture, local medication, language, and literature. Therefore, as an ethnographic study, the present research serves to fill that void. Data were gained by a way of observations, interviews, documentation and audio-visual recording. Couched under the analysis of local education values, music in Kampung Naga is of empirical interests. Traditional music has been transmitted from elders to the younger generation through informal education. The elders employ a local knowledge system as the basis of their teaching practice by which the younger generation constructs spiritual experience and self-introspection. Music is productively used to fortify faith and respect ancestors. In conclusion, Islamic values and Sundanese culture, in Kampung Naga, are blended to produce an educational value about God and nature.
