Music purchased from ITunes.

When I purchase music from ITunes I download it to my Laptop where I then download it to an IPod. However the music is automatically downloading it to my Ipad which does not have as much memory as the Laptop/IPod. How do I stop the music being automatically being downloaded to the Ipad ?

iPad, iOS 10
