What are AMEB exams?
The Australian Music Examination Board was established in 1918 to provide nationally recognised music exams. They provide a detailed syllabus for music students & teachers, and give students the opportunity to perform for a professional musician (the AMEB examiner) and receive feedback. All students receive a written exam report, which contains feedback on their playing, plus an official AMEB certificate.
Why take AMEB exams?
The benefits of undertaking an AMEB exam are vast - they provide a goal for students to work towards, allow independent feedback plus they are nationally recognised. AMEB exams are looked upon favourably for high school scholarships & applications, with a number of private schools having expected benchmarks for potential music students - for example some high schools require certain entry levels for their band programs.
What do students present in an AMEB exam?
There are various types of AMEB exams - for example comprehensive, repertoire, leisure etc. Usually, students perform a minimum of 3 pieces along with some scales & technical work.
