This study aims to analyze the role of digital technology in supporting music learning at SD Negeri 1 Purworejo, Lampung Tengah. The advancement of digital technology has transformed the way music is taught, particularly at the elementary school level. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation involving teachers and students. The findings indicate that the use of digital applications such as YouTube and Chrome Music Lab enhances students’ motivation, creativity, and understanding of musical concepts. However, challenges related to limited facilities and teachers’ digital competence remain significant obstacles. These findings support previous studies on technology integration in music education while highlighting context-specific practices in elementary schools. This study concludes that, with appropriate guidance, digital technology can serve as an effective tool to improve music learning in elementary education.
