 Mission
Statement
The AMEB exists to provide a graded system
of examinations in music, speech and drama, by offering
high quality syllabuses, educative services to our teachers,
examiners and candidates, and quality publications to
the highest editorial standard.
The
AMEB Tradition —
The Measure of Excellence
The AMEB (Australian Music Examinations Board) conducts
examinations in music and speech education. Its accreditation
is recognised professionally not only within Australia
but also overseas, where it is one of the most respected
bodies in this field.
AMEB
examinations are based on syllabuses designed by leading
scholars and performers, regularly updated to ensure
that they reflect an appropriate range of performance
skills and the latest musicological research. The content
of these syllabuses is, wherever practical, published
in affordable editions, ensuring that the cost to students
of acquiring a full range of the set pieces is as simple
and inexpensive as possible.
Success
The AMEB's success in developing standards
of performance and scholarship has been achieved through
the support of teachers in all States. Our syllabuses
are reviewed and developed in direct consultation with
the people who use our examination system, and written
by leading teachers and performers. With the assistance
of its examiners, the Board will continue to work in
association with teachers to provide encouragement for
students and a sense of achievement. The Board believes
that its activities ultimately lead to the enhancement
of the cultural life of our community.
