Abstract: The Merdeka Curriculum, introduced in 2021 in Indonesia, provides flexibility in teaching, especially in developing students' creativity and skills. Its success depends on teachers' perceptions, which reflect their understanding, assessment, and response to this policy. In the context of music, teachers must understand the objectives, principles, and implementation of the curriculum and its impact on student learning. This study explores the perceptions of junior high school music teachers in Bogor District in understanding and implementing the Merdeka Curriculum, including the challenges they face. Although this curriculum offers flexibility, teachers still face obstacles such as a lack of training and supporting resources. This study aims to obtain data and information related to how teachers perceive understanding and implementing the Merdeka Curriculum. This study uses a survey research method involving 20 music teachers in junior high schools in Bogor District. Data was collected through questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques.

The majority of teachers believe that this curriculum can increase student creativity if supported by adequate resources. The study concluded that music teachers' perceptions of the Merdeka Curriculum are generally positive, but implementation in the field requires increased technical support and more intensive training.Abstrak: Kurikulum Merdeka yang diperkenalkan sejak 2021 di Indonesia memberikan fleksibilitas dalam mengajar, terutama dalam mengembangkan kreativitas dan keterampilan siswa.
