Objective: This study aims to examine the management of private music lessons in Manado as a response to the limitations of formal education in accommodating diverse musical interests, goals, and learning backgrounds. Method: A qualitative approach with a case study design was employed, involving interviews with eight instructors, observations of learning activities, and analysis of relevant documents and social media content related to private music courses. Results and Discussion: The findings reveal that private music courses in Manado implement adaptive nonformal education management that is flexible and student-centered. Key strategies include flexibility in scheduling, location, materials, methods, and student engagement, enabling courses to respond effectively to learner diversity. Independent development of courses has fostered a management model emerging from practical experience, situational responsiveness, and pedagogical knowledge, distinguishing it from formal institutions and organized nonformal courses. Conclusion: This study confirms that private music courses serve as individualized pedagogical spaces and as adaptive nonformal arts education entities, requiring ongoing managerial reflection to maintain the quality and relevance of music learning in the contemporary era.Downloads
