A. Introduction
Everybody like music, music can make us enjoy by listened it. Music is an art form whose medium is sound. Common elements of music are pitch (which governs melody and harmony), rhythm (and its associated concepts tempo, meter, and articulation), dynamics, and the sonic qualities of timbre and texture. The word derives from Greek μουσική (mousike), "(art) of the Muses."
The creation, performance, significance, and even the definition of music vary according to culture and social context. Music ranges from strictly organized compositions (and their recreation in performance), through improvisational music to aleatoric forms. Music can be divided into genres and subgenres, although the dividing lines and relationships between music genres are often subtle, sometimes open to individual interpretation, and occasionally controversial. Within "the arts," music may be classified as a performing art, a fine art, and auditory art. There is also a strong connection between music and mathematics.
To many people in many cultures music is an important part of their way of life. Greek philosophers and ancient Indian philosophers defined music as tones ordered horizontally as melodies and vertically as harmonies. Common sayings such as "the harmony of the spheres" and "it is music to my ears" point to the notion that music is often ordered and pleasant to listen to. However, 20th-century composer John Cage thought that any sound can be music, saying, for example, "There is no noise, only sound." Musicologist Jean-Jacques Nattiez summarizes the relativist, post-modern viewpoint: "The border between music and noise is always culturally defined—which implies that, even within a single society, this border does not always pass through the same place; in short, there is rarely a consensus ... By all accounts there is no single and intercultural universal concept defining what music might be.
In Indonesian we have much musiciant that palay it, we can see on television, sometimes ago we can see a television program that name is Mtv. Mtv always broadcasted music everyday, on of the best chanel is Mtv ampuh, beside that we also can hear music by radio.

In Indonesian, much people like a slow music, like happen to our campus much of students like a music, especially happen to female students in our campus, how interested the female students of government study program a.y 2008 to Indonesian slow music.

B. Literature Review
Greek philosophers and ancient Indian philosophers defined music as tones ordered horizontally as melodies and vertically as harmonies. Common sayings such as "the harmony of the spheres" and "it is music to my ears" point to the notion that music is often ordered and pleasant to listen to. However, 20th-century composer John Cage thought that any sound can be music, saying, for example, "There is no noise, only sound." Musicologist Jean-Jacques Nattiez summarizes the relativist, post-modern viewpoint: "The border between music and noise is always culturally defined—which implies that, even within a single society, this border does not always pass through the same place; in short, there is rarely a consensus ... By all accounts there is no single and intercultural universal concept defining what music might be. (2000)
Music is composed and performed for many purposes, ranging from aesthetic pleasure, religious or ceremonial purposes, or as an entertainment product for the marketplace. Amateur musicians compose and perform music for their own pleasure, and they do not derive their income from music. Professional musicians are employed by a range of institutions and organisations, including armed forces, churches and synagogues, symphony orchestras, broadcasting or film production companies, and music schools. Professional musicians sometimes work as freelancers, seeking contracts and engagements in a variety of settings.
There are often many links between amateur and professional musicians. Beginning amateur musicians take lessons with professional musicians. In community settings, advanced amateur musicians perform with professional musicians in a variety of ensembles and orchestras. In some cases, amateur musicians attain a professional level of competence, and they are able to perform in professional performance settings. A distinction is often made between music performed for the benefit of a live audience and music that is performed for the purpose of being recorded and distributed through the music retail system or the broadcasting system. However, there are also many cases where a live performance in front of an audience is recorded and distributed (or broadcast). (Wikipedia)
And in Indonesian music have some kind or ganre, the kind of that are Pop, Rock, Jazz, Dangdut, Techno, Hip – hop, metal, Punk, and more. But Pop ganre have a much interested from the audience. Populer ganre will be fastly famous in Indonesia than punk or rock ganre. People that sing a populer ganre song will have a better place in people’s heart than people that sing a punk ganre song. That’s all maybe happening because the pop ganre of music more friendly than the other. (Kaskus)
Pop begin in Indonesia and famous by a group that untill now still famous in our mind, the name is Koes Plus (1970). This group became legendary in Indonesia because of dozens of songs, even hundreds, of birth of this musical group, from which version of the pop, Their song is simple both in poetry, music, and melody. His trademark sound is a fusion between their vocalist (Yon and Yok) are the typical of his characteristic . Even, Their songs still remain popular in our mind untill right now. And that is an embrio of slow music that happen nowdays. (Music Pop 2009)
C. Methodology
In my paper, I will employ qualitative approach with in-depth interview technique. The reason I employ these approach and technique are to find more information that I want to know from respondents.
I collect the data in my campus, especially to female students of government study program a.y 2008. The interview conducted at 1 – 5 november 2010. I choose to conduct the interview in the classroom or when the student have a time or take a rest, because in that time i can freely ask to them.
The respondents of my research are my friends in campus, especially who like the music so much, and being music a part of her life, and the students have a basic knowledge of music, because this research aims to find and know the negative and positive effects from music to her daily activity.
D. Discussion
Based on the research that I’ve done, my respondents like Indonesian slow (pop) music. Generally, they like this kind of music because several reasons; good voice, good looking from the singer, easy listening.
a. Good voice.
Three out of ten my respondent like this music because the singer have a good voice.
Respondent # 2 said;
“I like slow music because the singer have a good voice, that i can enjoy it”.
The other statement said, respondent # 7;
“Slow music always easy listening, and Titi DJ’s voice always make me fly”.
b. Good looking from the singer.
Right now in Indonesian, the singer must be good looking beside have a good voice.
Like respondent # 10 said;
“It’s a fact that singer must be a interested, and right now it’s not only for the voice but the singer must be have a performance and stylish or fashionable”.
c. Easy listening.
Nowdays much song have a bad lyric and difficult to understad it, that is why easy listening be a part of strategi that a song will be interested.
The respondent # 1 said;
“Sheila On 7 is a great band untill now, because the mattery of song can i understand in once play the song”.
1. How is Indonesian slow music (pop) nowdays ?
Nowadays genre pop in Indonesia still develop future the time, but the development to be not good because nowdays much musicions come without good skill, much musicions come to Indonesian music industri just only have a good performance and minus quality of the song.
Like respondent # 4 said;
“The developing Indonesian pop music so intens today, but much from them that come to industrial music without good skill or not in them line, the taste of musicalitas be poor because they come to label without their ganre. This is one of the reason that why the slow music in Indonesian to be concerned if we see from the quality view”.
