This article aims to implement a culture of literacy to children starting from an early age. This is due to the rise of the digital era which makes people, especially children, choose to spend more time playing gadgets. Therefore, at this time there is a lot of degradation of insight and knowledge due to lack of motivation to familiarize themselves with reading literacy. If a culture of literacy is not applied from an early age, this will cause the possibility of interest in reading and writing for the next generation to be minimal or reduced. Therefore, an understanding of literacy culture from an early age needs to be instilled because at that age, the age of the child is stepping on the "golden age" or golden period, which ranges from when the child is 1 to 6.5 years old. At that time, children experience the development of growth and grow rapidly, so that to apply the culture of literacy methods, interest in reading or writing is easy to apply and easier to get used to.

The development of music from the past until now continues to grow, from traditional musical instruments to modern musical instruments that are currently widely used. However, today's children or adolescents are more interested in modern musical instruments such as guitars, saxophones, violins and other modern musical instruments than traditional musical instruments such as suling, gendang and other traditional musical instruments. So it is necessary to teach from an early age by introducing both traditional and modern musical instruments. By taking advantage of technological developments, especially in multimedia technology, we need a system that can facilitate teaching through computers or commonly called CAI (Computer Assisted Instruction). This was done because the Mekar Arum Kindergarten children were still not interested in musical instruments. So we need an application to introduce musical instruments that can be used in learning while playing to attract children's attention. With this application, it can make it easier for teachers to teach introduction to musical instruments for young children without having to meet children at kindergartens and make it easier for children to recognize musical instruments and be more interested in traditional and musical instruments modern.
