The Australian Curriculum does not specify a set number of hours for music at Foundation Year. Here at the Fun Music Company, our recommendation is that schools aim for one dedicated music lesson per week of approximately 30–45 minutes, though the curriculum is flexible enough to allow for music to be integrated into other learning areas. Consistent, regular music time is more valuable than occasional longer sessions — especially at Foundation Year, where repetition and familiarity are central to how young children develop musical skills.
