This study aimed to improve the concentration of children aged 5–6 years through angklung musical instrument play activities at RA Istiqomah. The research employed the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method based on the Kemmis and Taggart model, which was conducted in two cycles consisting of the stages of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The participants were 16 children in Group B, aged 5–6 years. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, while data analysis was carried out using both qualitative and quantitative descriptive approaches. The results indicated that playing the angklung significantly improved the children's concentration skills. The average concentration score increased from 41.70% in the pre-cycle stage to 66.40% in Cycle I and reached 84.52% in Cycle II. The children demonstrated greater focus, were able to follow instructions, wait for their turn, and maintain attention throughout the learning activities. Therefore, angklung-playing activities can be considered an effective and enjoyable learning method for enhancing concentration among early childhood learners.
