Yes — and for many generalist classroom teachers, this is a part of the Years 3–4 curriculum may feel daunting. The good news is that notation in the Fun Music Company program is introduced gently and progressively, always connected to music students are already playing and singing rather than presented as abstract theory to memorise. Students build their notation knowledge step by step across the year through short, structured worksheet activities — covering rhythm notation, the staff, note values, dynamics and more — in a way that feels manageable rather than overwhelming. By the time students are reading notation in their SING & PLAY instrumental parts, it’s already familiar territory.
