Abstract

Most of music education students who learn piano in Indonesia play the instrument based on teachers' instructions.

A descriptive qualitative was chosen as a research design. Meanwhile, data were collected through several instruments namely: interview, observation, and document analysis. Some stages to analyze the data were done through describing, reducing, triangulation, until presenting the data. The results of this study refer that during the learning process, the teacher used student-centered approach through implementing some strategies: discovery learning, exploration, collaboration, and self-evaluation. To develop learning material, the teacher consider students' need and interests so that all components in learning process including learning, method, media and model were also made appropriately with the students' need.
