Abstract

Change and progress of the world have an impact on the fading love of the motherland. Access to information and communication opens space for foreign cultures to enter freely. In this era of globalization, many young Indonesian citizens are more proud of foreign cultures and follow the lifestyles of other nations so that they forget the culture of their own people. Eventually they lost their love for the country. This study aims to analyze the process of strengthening the character of patriotism through singing national songs on the Harmony Choir extracurricular. This research uses descriptive method with a qualitative approach. The collection technique is done by observation, documentation study, literature study, and interview with the board and teacher of Extracurricular Harmony Choir. The results showed that the implementation of national singing activities could increase student nationalism and patriotism in schools. This is done through discipline and application of extracurricular regulations. This regulation is implemented with the aim of leading and creating outstanding students in terms of local culture through the development and preservation of national songs. National songs can be a medium to strengthening the nation’s love for their country, because in national songs there are interesting values to be discussed in more detail.
