This study aimed to develop a STEAM-based Music Therapy Box (BMT) as a learning medium for the Waves and Optics course and to evaluate its feasibility and effectiveness in enhancing students’ conceptual understanding. The research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model, which consists of the analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. A limited field trial involved 30 students from the Physics Education Study Program at Universitas HKBP Nommensen. Data were collected through expert validation sheets, conceptual understanding tests, observation forms, and student response questionnaires. The results indicated that the developed BMT was highly feasible for instructional use. Its implementation improved students’ conceptual understanding, as evidenced by an N-Gain score of 0.65 (moderate category) and a statistically significant difference between pretest and posttest scores (p < 0.05). Student learning activities and responses were also rated very positively. These findings suggest that integrating music, sensor technology, experimental activities, and the STEAM approach can foster more contextual, interactive, and meaningful learning experiences.
