Examiner feedback:
Well played. The playing captured the lively character of this dance with commendable evenness...
Quite well known and the delicate touch suited the light character of the piece...
There were some good musical ideas presented in this performance including some musical rubato…
A sense of the character and style of the music was convincingly communicated. Tempo was well chosen and there were some effective tempo nuances…
Expressive playing. Tone is full and clear and dynamic contrasts added shape and nuance to the performance.
Rhythmically vibrant and with well navigated upper notes, this was a positive conclusion to your programme.
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.
