The authoritative codes and wording are in QCAA Australian Curriculum v9 Prep Music achievement standard aligned to content descriptions, checked live on 30 September 2026. QCAA's Music v9 page confirms Queensland Prep. ACARA's Music examples of knowledge and skills suggest listening, composing, performing, elements and safe practice; they are not a prescribed sequence. The A/A, A/B and held-ending examples here are original graphic scores.
| Exact code and strand | Official content description | Partial opportunity in this starter | Boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| AC9AMUFE01 · Exploring and responding | “explore how and why the arts are important for people and communities” | Day 39 can ask a named maker's or authorised source's account of a real work, if locally selected and permitted. | Our invented phrases and PCM cues do not establish a real community's music or meaning. Hold this evidence until an authorised encounter occurs. |
| AC9AMUFD01 · Developing practices and skills | “use play, imagination, arts knowledge, processes and/or skills to discover possibilities and develop ideas” | Children try phrase repeat, order swap and a held-ending variation through score play. | Card work shows planned musical relationships, not listening, timed playing or sound control. |
| AC9AMUFC01 · Creating and making | “create arts works that communicate ideas” | A child makes an original two-phrase score and states an intended musical effect. | A short graphic draft is emerging creation evidence, not proof of a finished performance or what a listener understood. |
| AC9AMUFP01 · Presenting and performing | “share their arts works with audiences” | A child may choose to show an original score or approved sound to a willing person. | Actual recipient and medium must be recorded. Puppet rehearsal, pass and paper-only intention do not evidence actual-audience sharing; score share is not audible performance. |
The Foundation achievement standard includes describing experiences, observations, ideas and/or feelings about arts works encountered at school, home and/or in the community, and using play/imagination/knowledge/processes/skills to create and share in different forms. A permitted school source can support inquiry without asking for family disclosure. These checks inform next teaching only. Similarity, order and grouping may also arise in Maths, but no Mathematics content code or achievement is claimed from this Music pack.
Version note: The May 2026 QCAA example Prep Music plan prints AC9AMUFCO1 with letter O in one table. The dedicated current alignment prints AC9AMUFC01 with zero; we use the latter. The QCAA plan is illustrative rather than prescribed and supplies no repertoire or score here.
