Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, Tasmania and Victoria are live to purchase now!
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
This website is now available to the public and you can register and log in. This allows you access to the site to do tutorials and Grade 1 practice exams (this is an excellent opportunity for teachers to familiarise themselves with the technology prior to entering students for exams).
You may not be able to purchase an exam in your state yet, however we anticipate this facility will be available very soon. Please keep checking back and we will advise you when exam purchase in your state becomes available.
Syllabus Review Process
The AMEB Syllabus Review Process is a consultative approach to syllabus development. We seek input from teachers, examiners, students and parents. Consequently, a new syllabus takes time to develop.
The following syllabuses are about to enter a period of review:
Alterations to Syllabuses - Changes to Folk Tunes or Memory Questions
There have been alterations made to this area of Musicianship and Theory of Music. Sample questions similar to those that may be encountered in examinations are available here - Sample Questions
