In a big change of the Balinese society which started Asian economic crisis, the environment over the gamelan performance underwent a big change. There is the rise of the concept called A jeg Bali in the background of this situation. After 2000 an argument over "the Balinese culture" became popular, and it came to be accompanied with a social action in form called the practice of A jeg Bali from about 2004. The performance of the gamelan by the children is included in that, the activity of children was evaluated very highly and became popular as a thing embodying with "a quality of Bali." The main subject in this article are to consider what A jeg Bali is and what is its practice through children's gamelan activities for an example. A jeg Bali was created as a concept or an idea by some intellectuals. However, A jeg Bali becomes the certain behavior pattern, and is firmly established in the people while keeping the relations that are close to religion, the Bali Hinduism. Especially, the children who in-stilled A jeg Bali as a behavior pattern practice it without doubts unconsciously. And when they grow up and give meaning to the behavior patterns, they accomplish a change to existence to produce a big social change while they roll up the neighboring people. Inconsistency between the people who is going to push forward a change society as A jeg Bali and the people who want to keep the local peculiarity and the individuality begins to occur in the society. And now, A jeg Bali becomes to the behavior/action that came to have power letting society itself change and spreads out in the Balinese society rapidly, and is going to take firm hold in the society.
