For Elementary School Music Teachers
Finally: Curriculum-Aligned Music Lessons That Actually Engage Students—Without Drowning in Preparation
The Complete, Ready-to-Teach Program Trusted by Schools Worldwide to Save 5+ Preparation Hours Weekly
If you’re teaching elementary music this term, you’re probably facing one (or all) of these challenges:
- Spending hours every week searching for lesson ideas across different websites, Pinterest boards, and YouTube channels—only to piece together something that might work
- Feeling uncertain about whether your lessons actually align with curriculum standards (and hoping no one asks to see your scope and sequence)
- Worrying about keeping 25+ students engaged when you don’t have specialist music training or confidence leading singing and rhythm activities
- Buying individual resources for $20-30 each from Teachers Pay Teachers and other sites, only to find they don’t quite fit your class or you’re missing the accompanying materials
You’re not alone. In fact, this exact situation is what prompted Janice Tuck—a music teacher with 30+ years of classroom experience—to create something completely different…
“Janice … you look tired. Are you okay?”
Those words from a colleague changed everything for Janice Tuck.
After three decades teaching music, Janice realised she was spending more time planning lessons than actually teaching them. Every week brought the same exhausting cycle: searching for activities, creating worksheets, recording demonstration videos, checking curriculum alignment, preparing materials.
The result? Teacher burnout. Mental and physical exhaustion. And students who missed out on consistent, quality music education because their teachers were simply too overwhelmed.
That’s when Janice made a decision: No teacher should have to sacrifice their wellbeing to deliver great music lessons.
So she spent the next 18 years developing what’s become a widely-trusted elementary music program—a complete, prepared curriculum designed specifically for classroom teachers. A system that works whether you’re a music specialist with decades of experience or a teacher covering music for the very first time.
Today, schools worldwide use this program to deliver engaging, standards-aligned music lessons without the preparation overwhelm.
Unlike “Pick-and-Choose” Resource Libraries, This Is a Complete Teaching System
You’re probably used to the standard approach: buying individual lesson plans or song collections for $20-30 each from Teachers Pay Teachers. Or spending Sunday nights browsing free resources online, adapting them yourself, and hoping everything comes together by Monday morning.
Here’s what makes The Fun Music Company fundamentally different:
Complete Lesson Structure—Not Just Random Activities
Every single lesson includes four essential components working together:
- SKILLS (warmup activities to build musical fundamentals)
- SING & PLAY (performance activities with songs and instruments)
- COMPOSE (hands-on creative projects)
- CONNECT (listening lessons with guided activities)
All aligned to Australian curriculum requirements. No more piecing together lessons from 5 different sources or wondering if you’ve covered everything you’re supposed to.
You Stay Completely In Control
This isn’t a rigid “follow this script word-for-word” program.
You can use our pre-planned lessons exactly as written (perfect for busy weeks). OR you can access any song, activity, warmup, or resource within just two clicks to build your own lesson structure. You choose what works for your class, your teaching style, and your students’ needs.
Teachers tell us this flexibility is what separates our program from subscription platforms that feel like you’re reading someone else’s script.
Works Whether You Have Music Training or Not
Whether you’re a veteran music specialist or a classroom teacher with no musical background, the program works.
Everything includes:
- Complete video demonstrations (so you can see AND hear how activities work)
- Flexible instrument options (use plastic buckets instead of hand drums, xylophones instead of marimbas—we show you how)
- Classroom management strategies built into every lesson
- Clear instructions written for teachers, not just musicians
Built on International Standards (With Rigorous Curriculum Alignment)
Every lesson aligns with recognized curriculum standards including the National Core Arts Standards—not thrown-together content from random sources.
Created by experienced educators who’ve spent nearly two decades researching and developing curriculum-aligned materials used by schools worldwide.
No questioning whether activities meet educational standards. No wondering if the scope and sequence holds up to scrutiny.
Just a complete, professionally-developed curriculum you can trust.
