What would you do with 10 extra hours per week?

Would you finally learn guitar, start that new hobby or perhaps spend more time with your family?

To break it down further it’s:
1.4 hours per day
65 full 8-hour work days
13 weeks of full-time work
More than 3 months of reclaimed time!

Put another way, that's like getting back an entire mid-year vacation worth of time just from more efficient lesson planning!

And teachers are telling us our curriculum gives them this
life-changing time back.

Here’s what our latest survey data shows 👉https://funmusicco.com/fun-music-company-curriculum-reviews-2025/

If you’ve already been teaching music for a while, you’ll already know that one of the BIGGEST CHALLENGES to creating amazing music lessons is to constantly come up with NEW IDEAS.

If so, you’ll already know It’s full of teaching shortcuts and attention grabbers to DRAMATICALLY reduce your lesson preparation time and help keep motivation and momentum strong!

If you want to be successful in teaching an instrument such as the ukulele in music class, you've got to understand this power of taking small successful steps rather than big leaps.

Because the temptation is to learn the chords super fast and get to the songs they want to play!

But asking a child to play two or three chords when they haven't yet quite coped with one yet is a big ask - it's like taking two or more steps at once. And when they're just starting out with a week or more in between lessons taking large steps can be a huge ask.

That's why we've developed a FREE Ukulele teaching email series. Because we've taught it, we can share how to make it EASY to engage students and progress through each little step quickly, so they feel successful from the start while having FUN!

Join us here for a set of FREE step by step activities posted to your inbox on how to get started with teaching ukulele in the classroom >>

Enter your details on this page to download an ebook giving you the steps you need to get started teaching ukulele in the music classroom, even if you’ve never even picked up a ukulele before!

“Having access to your music program has made the teaching and planning of my music classes SO much easier!”

This is what Liz said in an email to us recently.

So if you're looking for a complete curriculum program for teaching K-6 music in school - you can learn more and request free samples now:

https://bit.ly/FunMusicCoCurriculum

What Liz said is the sort of thing that teachers say to us all the time. In fact, in our recent survey 65% of users reported that they save more than 5 hours of preparation time every week.

Think about that.

FIVE HOURS. And that is every. single. week!

When it comes to preparation time - five hours every week is a LOT! Just freeing up that much time will enable teachers to get their life back, go to a movie, or a walk on the beach. Many have said they save even more - as much as 10-20 hours every week!

These responses come from all types of teachers. Those who have taught music for years, and those who are just starting out. Those who are trained music teachers, and classroom teachers who are asked to teach music.

We know that if you are a music specialist, you are highly skilled. You don’t need to be told how to teach, so our program doesn’t do that.

Instead, we give music specialist teachers like Sue a range of play-along-arrangements that she can pick and choose from. It covers the listening and composing elements as well.

Sue said: “I use it as a backbone for lots of my singing and playing parts of the lesson and listening too”

Also for those teachers without a music background or those teaching in teams, it has everything you need. You can use the in-built tutorials and videos, and just learn along with the students.

Sarah said that “We have a team of music teachers and all the other teachers are not music trained, so this program is so valuable for them.”

So you can join the thousands of teachers and students across Australia using the Fun Music Company curriculum program. It meets the requirements of the Australian curriculum v9 and its state-based equivalents.

We know that, as we’ve spent thousands of hours drilling through every content statement and description.

Another respondent in our recent survey said: “I just love that the government curriculum requirements are covered if I use this program… “

Comprehensive scope and sequence documents are available upon request, showing how our program meets each and every content description.

Our creative director, Janice, is a music teacher of more than 20 years experience in a wide variety of school settings. After experiencing burnout as a young teacher trying to plan every lesson from scratch, Janice made it her mission to revolutionize music education by creating a complete curriculum system that gives teachers back their time and joy in teaching.

Together with an extensive team at the Fun Music Company she has developed Australia's most comprehensive K-6 music program that aligns perfectly with the Australian Curriculum v9.0 while making music engaging and fun for children.

This is not some big corporation with more promises than what they can deliver. We help teachers personally - so once you’re a member (or even before!) you can make an appointment and chat with Janice and her team on zoom about how to deliver a music program in your school.

This was what Liz, a music teacher from a small Catholic school in Sydney wrote to us in an email recently. This is typical of the hundreds of responses we get every week from teachers across Australia using the Fun Music Company Curriculum Program.

😥Teacher burnout is real, but this doesn't have to be your story!

You know how it goes...

Hours of prep after school. The endless stress of NEVER getting it all done on time. A

nd then being asked to teach MUSIC on top of everything else - sometimes with ZERO training or time to plan!

Sound familiar?

And we want to see an end to that feeling of being overwhelmed and in suffering!.. Don’t you?

That's why we’ve become OBSESSED with TIME - our most valuable commodity as teachers!⏰

And guess that’s why we’ve been so obsessed since 2006 about making a K-6 music curriculum full of efficient, flexible, understandable resources.

It’s been the most efficient way we know to fit much MORE music curriculum content into lessons while keeping students super engaged in their learning and finding a way to give back your most valuable commodity…TIME!

And that’s why we’re sharing this free video called “how teachers do everything” based on how to manage time HERE>>

Guess what?! One of your most valuable teaching activities that is making a difference … is INTENTIONAL LISTENING 🤔

Intentional listening enables children to sit, focus, and truly absorb what's being shared!

Think about it- Right now, we're seeing a generation of children who have been through something no other generation in recent history has experienced. These post-COVID kids have spent years behind screens, with masks, and in isolation. And now that we're back in classrooms, many teachers are telling us the same thing: “These kids just don't know how to listen anymore!”

Now, you might be thinking, “Of course we do listening activities in music class!” …But what I'm talking about here goes beyond the usual “listen and identify” exercises (though those are always a great starting point) .

So if you’re ready to step up your teaching level in this area, this latest episode is for you ▶️ https://funmusicco.com/why-intentional-listening-matters-and-is-making-a-difference-for-todays-post-covid-generation/
