Angklung is a Sundanese traditional musical instrument played in group. This traditional art has been gradually decreasing in popularity in line with the times, thereby necessitating an action of preservation. The research aims to analyse how Ujungberung District becomes the centre for the preservation of angklung. Ujungberung has become the centre for efforts of developing angklung in West Java Province. The research adopted a descriptive-qualitative method with 78 Sundanese artists in Ujungberung District as the sample. Data were collected through interview and observations. The findings show that Ujungberung District has become the centre for communication for Sundanese artists to preserve Sundanese arts. The association of the artists does not only preserve, but it also makes and develops angklung. In this district, angklung is developed by establishing art studios with a curriculum similar to the one implemented in formal schools. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
