# Exact-row Foundation Music crosswalk · checked 30 September 2026

This local plan uses the [QCAA Australian Curriculum v9 Prep Music achievement standard/content alignment](https://www.qcaa.qld.edu.au/downloads/aciqv9/the-arts/curriculum/ac9_arts_music_prep_as_cd_alignment.pdf). [QCAA Music v9](https://www.qcaa.qld.edu.au/p-10/aciq/version-9/learning-areas/p-10-the-arts/music) identifies Prep as Queensland's Foundation year. [ACARA's v9 Arts overview](https://www.australiancurriculum.edu.au/curriculum-information/understand-this-learning-area/the-arts) includes dynamics and expression among Music's elements; [ACARA's Music examples of knowledge and skills](https://www.australiancurriculum.edu.au/support-resources/learning-area-resources/music_examples_of_knowledge_and_skills) offer listening, composing, performing and safe-practice examples. Neither authority prescribes our V/S score or this fortnight.

The imported official `acara-v9.json` is pinned to the source workbook SHA-256 `db446882d2c00cf7c085a03e250e2442fda6c44011fc114680c46c1dc7a822c3`. The Music rows are 21218, 21227, 21237 and 21246 respectively.

| Exact code and strand | Official content description | Opportunity and evidence limit |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **AC9AMUFE01** · Exploring and responding | “explore how and why the arts are important for people and communities” | Conditional Day 89 real-work inquiry: name a locally authorised work/maker/source and ask about its source-described use, then record the child's actual response. Our made-up cue cannot evidence this code. **Held until encountered.** |
| **AC9AMUFD01** · Developing practices and skills | “use play, imagination, arts knowledge, processes and/or skills to discover possibilities and develop ideas” | Read, compare and revise V/S dynamic shapes through play. Score reading/planning is observable; hearing a difference or controlling volume is a separate event. **Partial.** |
| **AC9AMUFC01** · Creating and making | “create arts works that communicate ideas” | Child authors a four-event dynamic score and states an intended expressive idea. Save their first score. Sound production and received meaning are separately observed. **Partial.** |
| **AC9AMUFP01** · Presenting and performing | “share their arts works with audiences” | Optional chosen score or approved sound may go to a real willing person. Save recipient/medium only after receipt; an offer, puppet rehearsal or private practice is insufficient. **Held until actual sharing.** |

The Foundation achievement standard describes responding to arts works encountered at school, home and/or in the community and using play, imagination, knowledge, processes and skills to create and share in different forms. Checks W/X are formative prompts, not grades or whole-standard coverage. Visual shape, real sound, comfort and community meaning require distinct evidence. Queensland Prep adaptation is primary; other Australian jurisdictions should check their local school timetable, permitted sources, access needs and curriculum implementation before use. No automatic state equivalence or international translation is claimed.
