Teaching Grade 5 or 6 music and not sure where to start with Bucket Drumming? 🥁

You're probably asking questions like:

"Will my class get too loud and out of control?"

"Do I need to be a drummer to teach this?"

"What equipment do I actually need?"

The good news is we’ve just published a complete free Bucket Drumming Beginner's Guide that answers every single one of those questions.

Because becoming an impactful music teacher isn't about being an expert percussionist.

It's about having a simple, step-by-step approach that works, even if you've never held a drumstick before!

There's an assumption buried in almost every debate about music teaching resources.

That a “prepared curriculum” is for the teacher who can't do it themselves.

The data says something completely different.

And it surprised even us!

More than 80% of the teachers who told us our curriculum changed their teaching had been in the classroom for over ten years.

Not beginners. The most experienced teachers in the room.

There's a reason for that. And once you hear it, you'll never think about your weekends, your planning, or your worth as a teacher the same way again.

DID YOU KNOW? The music curriculum says to "teach theory." But it doesn't tell you what to teach, when, or how much detail at each grade level. Most teachers are left to figure that out alone.😓

That's why we wove music theory into the Fun Music K-6 Curriculum where it naturally belongs. We call this section SKILLS.🎉

Here's a free lesson to show you how it works in your music classroom here 👉 https://funmusicco.com/classroom-music-theory/

Have you ever built a lesson around a YouTube video… and then one day it was just gone?

Not because you did anything wrong.

Just because the rules changed overnight — and nobody warned you.

There's a lot happening behind the scenes with YouTube play-alongs and pop songs that most music teachers never get told about.

And some of it could affect your lessons more than you realise.

What do you actually need to know before you build another lesson around someone else's music?

We've written a full guide breaking it all down, the copyright side, the quality side, and what to look for in any music resource you use.

Read about it starting with this FREE guide called " Play-Alongs, Pop Songs, and Copyright: What Every Music Teacher Should Understand here: https://funmusicco.com/play-alongs-pop-songs-and-copyright/

What if your music curriculum was holding a few surprises you hadn't found yet?

Not because you missed them. Just because nobody pointed them out.

At a recent event with our curriculum members, something came up that got me thinking.

It made me ask a question I want to ask you today:

What do you already have… that you don't yet know about?

In Episode 72 of The Spark for Music Teachers, I'm sharing a few stories — some funny, some a little humbling — about the time-savers already inside your music curriculum that are easy to overlook when you're busy.

This one's a quick listen. But I have a feeling it'll stay with you.

Most online training events pack in hundreds of people and push lots of different speakers.

This one does not.

Fun Music LIVE is deliberately small. Four days. Two hours a day. Live questions answered in real time by the same two people who built the entire curriculum system.

Not a summit.
Not a replay library.
Not a course you will never finish.

A room where you actually get to ask the thing you have been too afraid to ask.

Tickets are $99. Starting Monday.

If that sounds like what you have been looking for, register here:
