The recorder ensemble learning in class X of the Muhammadiyah 1 Padang Vocational School still faces challenges in the implementation of the Independent Learning Curriculum. This curriculum emphasizes more flexible and student-centered learning; however, in practice, teachers still use structured conventional methods that are teacher-centered. This study aims to analyze the recorder ensemble learning methods applied by teachers and their alignment with the principles of the Independent Learning Curriculum. The research method used is qualitative with a descriptive approach, where data is collected through literature studies, observations, interviews, and documentation. The results show that teachers use three methods in teaching: lectures, demonstrations, and group work. Although these methods help students understand the material and improve their recorder playing skills, their implementation is still less aligned with the essence of the Independent Learning Curriculum because teachers remain the focal point in the learning process. This indicates a gap between the curriculum concept and its implementation in the field. Therefore, efforts are needed to enhance the understanding and application of more innovative teaching methods to align with the principles of the Independent Learning Curriculum, enabling students to be more independent and active in the learning process.
