This article examines the implementation of a music education program in the ticuna communities of San José de Yanayacu, Cahuide de Yanayacu, and Nueva Galilea de Callarú in the Amazon region of Loreto, Perú, during the 2023–2024 period, carried out with the purpose of strengthening community cultural expressions and the practice of the native language through the teaching of musical instruments. The methodology was implemented in the communities through music teaching interventions, assigning recorders and melodicas along with a learning guide that incorporated ticuna community rhythms and melodies. Participants of different ages were included, thus promoting the transfer of knowledge within the community. In the second year of implementation, several participants completed the educational program, demonstrating the ability to interpret rhythms on the melodica and melodies on the recorder. As a result, to date, the musical knowledge is practiced by the beneficiaries in community activities such as ticuna religious ceremonies, which strengthens cohesion and learning within the community. In the context of community education and meaningful learning, the music education program in indigenous communities has revitalized ticuna cultural expressions through the teaching of musical instruments and the transmission of knowledge between generations.
