In Years 3 and 4, the curriculum asks students to explore how First Nations Australians use music to communicate their connection to and responsibility for Country/Place. In Years 5 and 6, the focus shifts to how First Nations Australians use music to ‘continue and revitalise’ culture. This is a subtle but important difference: it asks students to understand music as a living, forward-looking expression of cultural identity—not just a traditional or historical practice. The Fun Music Company CONNECT unit opens each year with First Nations Australian music explored through this lens, setting the tone for a year of listening that is genuinely analytical, respectful and culturally informed.
