About
AMEB Victoria Welcome
Welcome to the 2017 AMEB Victoria Enrolment Handbook.
This Handbook is intended to provide the information you need to enrol candidates for
AMEB exams in Victoria. Details of examination requirements can be found in the 2017
Manual of Syllabuses, available to purchase in hard copy or as a digital download from
AMEB Victoria and music retailers.
It is important to note that only material in the current syllabuses can be presented for
examination. Within each syllabus there are a number of regulations, requirements and
objectives for each level. If, once you have read the syllabus, you have any questions
please contact us to clarify any aspects that may not be clear.
I am delighted to announce some exciting new developments at AMEB this year, including:
revised syllabuses for Trumpet, Trombone and Euphonium; and
a new Recital exam format to be trialled in Flute, Trumpet and Violin.
For more information on these developments, please go to the Syllabus News section
of this handbook.
AMEBs new Musical Theatre syllabus, which was launched in November 2015, has
proven to be very popular; and the portfolio of Rockschool exams, which are now
delivered by AMEB in Australia, is progressively being updated and expanded.
This will be the final year that candidates will be able to enrol for an AMEB examination in
Electronic Organ or Accordion Classical Free Bass, as these syllabuses will be withdrawn
at the end of 2017 and will not be replaced. Also, the Fellowship in Music, Australia
examination will be withdrawn at the end of 2017.
We encourage you to consider enrolling candidates for practical exams in Term 2 or 3.
These sessions are less busy so we are better able to accommodate your scheduling
requests, with the added benefit that candidates will be able to avoid exams clashing with
end-of-year activities in Term 4.
Please note that some subjects are only offered in special sessions in July and
November. These are: Accordion, CPM, Electronic Organ, Ensemble, Harp, Organ,
Percussion, Recorder and Rockschool. However, it might be possible for exams in
these instruments to be scheduled outside published session dates, if there is sufficient
examining time in a particular location. Please contact us if you would like to find out
more about this possibility.
When enrolling, please remember to write any special requests on the enrolment form
and submit forms before the closing date. With sufficient notice we can accommodate
requests to avoid dates of school camps, VCE exams, etc.; and make special provisions
for candidates with special needs. More information about how to enrol can be found in
this handbook.
AMEB is here to promote and recognise achievement in music and we wish you every
success with your teaching or music studies this year. At AMEB Victoria, we aim to
provide a friendly, efficient and professional service and we look forward to working
with you in 2017.

Recorded accompaniments
In 2017, AMEB will continue to release recorded accompaniments for use in study and

learning to play with an accompanist can be beneficial to a young musicians development.
Although it is possible to present for lower grade examinations using the official AMEB

accompaniment CDs can be purchased from AMEB Victoria, and digital downloads can be
purchased from digital music outlets, such as iTunes, and other digital music outlets.

A new app is also available for use with recorded accompaniments. Called My Tempo,
the app allows the user to speed up or slow down the accompaniment tempo as required
for practice purposes. The app also allows purchase of individual tracks from within the
AMEB News
app or transfer of tracks into the app from a CD. Other features include a loop function,
allowing repeated practice of the same passage and a metronome function that enables
the speed to be checked.
Candidates should note that, if presenting for examination with an official AMEB
recorded accompaniment CD or downloaded audio file, only the Performance (100%)
tempo may be used. Further, the candidate is responsible for providing and operating
playback equipment. My Tempo is available for both Apple and Android devices and can be
purchased from the relevant app stores.

school exams, school camps, curriculum days, special events or exceptional situations.
Every effort will be made to accommodate requests based on the above reasons.
However, it will not be possible to accommodate requests made for any other reason.
Requests that examinations be scheduled at the end of a session (or similar), for no
adequate reason will not be accepted.

Weekend exam scheduling: The availability of practical exams on Saturdays and Sundays
is a permanent feature of the AMEB Victoria exam schedule. It is important that we are
advised if candidates are not available for examination on any or all weekends during the
particular session. The enrolment form provides a place to indicate that a candidate is not
available for examination on weekend days, as follows:
If a candidate is not available for examination on Saturdays write S
If a candidate is not available on Sundays write U

If a candidate is not available on BOTH Saturdays and Sundays write B
Dates to Avoid form: Requests for dates to avoid should be made in the space provided
on the enrolment form. Alternatively, a separate Dates to Avoid form can be completed
and attached to the enrolment form. It is important that requests are made at the time
of enrolment, as it may not be possible to change the date of an examination once it is
scheduled and any change will be subject to a re-scheduling fee.
Unless requested otherwise, examinations of all students enrolled by a particular teacher
or school for a particular subject will be scheduled consecutively on the same day or over
several days, depending on the number of candidates.
Enrolment acceptance
Enrolments are accepted by AMEB Victoria on the understanding that teachers, private
entrants, candidates and parents agree to the policies and procedures notified in this
Enrolment Handbook and on the AMEB Victoria website and accept that assessments
shall be made strictly in accordance with the syllabus, requirements and regulations
prescribed in the current AMEB syllabus.
Examination dates and times

A candidate enrolling for an AMEB Practical examination should be prepared to present
for examination at any time during the published session dates, unless a reasonable
request for dates to be avoided has been submitted. AMEB Practical examinations are
scheduled between the hours of 9am and 6pm, from Monday to Sunday inclusive during
each session, except on gazetted public holidays.
Please note that practical examinations might be scheduled on independent school
holidays, curriculum days and VCE exam dates unless these dates are specifically
advised to AMEB Victoria as dates that should be avoided. Exams might be scheduled on
the Saturday, Sunday or Monday preceding the Melbourne Cup public holiday unless we
have been advised in writing that they are dates to be avoided. However, exams are not
scheduled on Melbourne Cup Day.
Late entries
A late enrolment period of up to seven (7) calendar days after the closing date will apply
to each session. All late entries will incur a late entry fee of $30.00 (including GST) per
candidate, up to a maximum of $150.00 per teacher or school. Entries lodged within the
late enrolment period will be accepted only if accompanied by the late entry fee. After the
conclusion of the late enrolment period, entries will be accepted only at the discretion of
the General Manager, subject to the availability of examiners and examination venues,
and only if accompanied by a special administration fee of $80.00 (including GST) per
candidate.

Payment of enrolment fees
Only one cheque, money order or credit card authorisation per enrolment form
is acceptable. Cash cannot be accepted. Cheques should be made payable to:
AMEB (Vic) Ltd. Current fees are listed in the Subject Numbers and Fees section of this
Handbook and on the AMEB Victoria website. Please appreciate that processing multiple
enrolment forms from a teacher for a particular session creates considerable additional
work, as does the receipting and banking of multiple cheques. Current procedures are
designed to keep examination fees as low as possible and ensure efficient customer
service. Therefore, multiple payments from a teacher or school for a particular session
will be accepted only if an additional administrative fee is paid (fee advised on application).
Subject Numbers and subject changes

Enrolment information for each candidate is managed according to the Subject Number
indicated on the enrolment form. It is therefore critical that the correct Subject Number
for each candidate is provided. AMEB Victoria cannot accept responsibility for adding
Subject Numbers to enrolment forms. Subject Numbers are listed in the Subject
Numbers and Fees section of this Handbook and on the AMEB Victoria website.
A teacher or private entrant wishing to change the subject or grade of a practical
examination after the Confirmation of Enrolment has been issued and the seven-day
period for advising amendments has elapsed, will be required to pay a re-scheduling fee
equivalent to 75% of the enrolment fee. For information about changes to Written exam
enrolments, please refer to the Written section of this Handbook.
Special needs
AMEB Victoria is committed to providing quality examinations for all candidates,
including those with disabilities. We aim to ensure that all candidates have access to
the examination process and are able to demonstrate their skills in the examination to
the best of their ability. Candidates with disabilities will be offered the same examining
standards as those applied to all other candidates. No concessions are made regarding
the assessment criteria used. However we will make special provisions for candidates
who provide medical documentation of their disabilities and the special assessment
needs which these necessitate.
We must be informed of the candidates special assessment needs in writing at the time
of enrolment, or as soon as practicable after that time if a condition becomes apparent
or worsens after the closing date for entries. A request should be submitted for each
examination for which the candidate enrols, as information about special needs will not
be retained for subsequent exams. The applicant (if 18 years or over) or their guardian
must sign their application for special provisions to confirm that they give permission
for the candidates special needs to be provided to the examiner. Recent medical
documentation of the candidates disability must be attached to the application.
Where there is significant additional cost in providing special examination conditions,
such as the provision of a separate venue or additional supervision, it may be necessary
for AMEB to charge a fee to cover the incremental cost of providing the additional service.
Full details of our Special Needs policy can be found on the AMEB Victoria website.
Website enrolment form

On the AMEB Victoria website, there are two versions of the Practical and Written
enrolment forms: a printable PDF and a Microsoft Excel form. The PDF can be printed off
and completed in the usual way but the Excel form is linked to a list of Subject Numbers
and fees. This means it will take less time to write subject details and the total fee for
the form is calculated. Once complete, simply print off the two sides of the form, sign
it and send it to AMEB by post, fax or as a scanned attachment to an email. For more
information, go to: www.ameb.unimelb.edu.au and click on Downloads on the right hand
side.

Withdrawal, cancellation and re-scheduling
a Practical examination
Withdrawal from examination prior to closing date for enrolments
A candidates enrolment cannot be transferred from one examination session to another

or from one candidate to another. The teacher/enroller is requested to advise AMEB
Victoria in writing if a candidate is to be withdrawn from examination. If written advice is
received by the closing date for receipt of enrolments for the session, the examination fee
less an administration fee of $20.00 per candidate will be refunded.
Cancellation for medical reasons

If a candidate is unable to attend a scheduled examination, the teacher/enroller is
requested to telephone AMEB Victoria as soon as possible and to confirm the telephone
advice in writing. Where possible, when a cancellation is due to illness and substantiated
by a medical certificate, the candidate will be offered the opportunity to re-schedule the
examination to a later date within the current year upon payment of a re-scheduling fee
equivalent to 50% of the examination fee. Note that evidence of inability to present for
examination for medical reasons must be received by AMEB Victoria no later than two
weeks after the scheduled exam date. However, when the cancellation is in November
or December, it might not be possible to re-schedule the examination in the current year
and consideration will be given to refunding 50% of the examination fee (to be paid to
the enroller by electronic funds transfer in December). It is not possible to transfer an
enrolment to another calendar year.
Cancellation for non-medical reasons

A refund will not be given when the cancellation is for a non-medical reason. Please
appreciate that, by the time a cancellation is received, the examination timetable has
usually been finalised and all the costs associated with conducting the exam (examiner,
supervisor, venue hire, etc.) are incurred whether the candidate attends or not.
Re-scheduling of Practical examinations

A candidate may apply to re-schedule an examination for any reason upon payment of a
re-scheduling fee equivalent to 75% of the examination fee. A Re-schedule Request form
is available on the AMEB Victoria website (in Downloads). The availability of a substitute
examination time cannot be guaranteed, and acceptance of the application will be subject
to the availability of a qualified examiner and suitable facilities. If it is not possible to re-
schedule the examination, the re-scheduling fee will be refunded.

General Exam
Information Additional information and downloadable forms are available from the AMEB Victoria
website (www.ameb.unimelb.edu.au).
AMusA Practical examinations

Teachers and private entrants are advised to carefully read the objectives for the
Associate examinations listed in the current AMEB Syllabuses before entering for the
examination. The Associate Diploma is highly respected in the international music
community and recognises a sophistication of musical understanding and performance
General Exam Information

abilities that are well above the requirements for Grade 8. The success rate for AMusA
is much lower than for Grade examinations. To avoid disappointment, it is therefore
suggested that teachers with limited experience in presenting candidates at Diploma
level obtain advice from an experienced teacher before entering candidates for AMusA.
AMusA and LMusA exam rehearsals

Associate and Licentiate Practical examinations are held only in Studio 1 at the AMEB
Studios in Hawthorn, which is equipped with a Steinway Model B grand piano. Candidates
wishing to rehearse in the studio may do so when it is not being used for exams.
Availability is limited so candidates are advised to book rehearsal times well in advance.
Hire fees are payable and the Studio can be reserved by calling the AMEB Victoria office.
Candidate confidentiality
AMEB respects the confidentiality of candidates and therefore communication about
examinations is normally with the enrolling person. However, in an emergency, timetable
information will be provided to parents or candidates if they can accurately identify the
candidate by providing all of the following details: teachers name and address; candidate
name and date of birth; and the subject and grade for which the candidate is enrolled.
In addition, AMEB Victoria can only respond to appeals or complaints made by the person
who enrolled the candidate or the candidate, if over the age of 18. Where the candidate is
under the age of 18, the candidates parent or guardian may communicate with us on their
behalf.
Certificates completion of additional requirements

A candidate who has previously completed a Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8, Certificate of
Performance, Associate Diploma or Licentiate Diploma Practical examination should
notify AMEB Victoria upon completion of the Additional Requirement. Certificates for
Grade examinations will then be released. Diploma certificates will be awarded at the
next Conferring of Diplomas Ceremony.
Conferring of Diplomas
Successful Associate, Licentiate and Fellowship candidates, who have provided AMEB
with evidence of their completion of any Additional Requirements, will be invited to attend
the annual Conferring of Diplomas Ceremony. The Ceremony at which diplomas will be
formally conferred upon candidates who successfully completed all requirements in 2016
will be held on Tuesday 21 March 2017, commencing at 6pm, subject to the availability of
The Wilson Hall, University of Melbourne, Parkville. A successful candidate who is not
able to be present to receive his/her award in person will be admitted in absentia to the
diploma and the certificate will be mailed following the ceremony.

Downloaded musical scores
Candidates who present for examination using scores downloaded through free download
from websites should note that they bear responsibility to ensure copyright clearance for
their use of the material has been obtained. Candidates should note that heavy penalties
apply for the improper use of copyright material.
Electronic exam reporting

Progressively, AMEB Victoria will move towards electronic reporting of grade
examinations. An Examiner may use a notebook or tablet computer in the examination
room to type reports, and it is possible that keystroke sounds might be audible at times.
General Exam Information

Page turning
A page-turner may be used by candidates and/or accompanists. Accompanists and page-
turners may only remain in the examination room when actually required.
Photocopies
In general, the Copyright Act prohibits the use of photocopied music. Photocopies should
not be used by candidates in AMEB examinations, unless an exception to copyright
applies, or the relevant music publisher has granted permission for the candidate to
make a copy.
In some circumstances, a copy of music may be required for use by the examiner. In
these cases, if performing from memory, candidates should provide a published edition
of the music to the examiner. Diploma candidates must supply a copy of their music to the
examiner.
If you are unsure of the provisions of the Copyright Act, please refer to the "Guide to Music
Copyright for Australian Educators" on the APRA/AMCOS website or contact APRA/
AMCOS on 1300 852 388 or [email protected].
Teachers and accompanists

As it is the examining authority, it is not appropriate for AMEB Victoria to recommend
teachers or accompanists for AMEB examinations. The Melbourne Conservatorium of
Music has a list of accompanists which can be found at: www.vca-mcm.unimelb.edu.au/
accompanists. In addition, the Victorian Music Teachers Association (VMTA) has a list of
music teachers and accompanists. For further information, visit the VMTA website: www.
victorianmusicteachersassociation.org.au.
Teacher consultations
A teacher may request a 30 minute personal consultation with an AMEB Examiner, which
would be timetabled at the end of a days examining. The examiner will provide general
tips and suggestions relating to the preparation of candidates for AMEB examinations.
Although these suggestions might be based upon the examiners observations of recent
examination performances by a teachers students, it would not be appropriate to discuss
examination results or specific examination reports. Consultations with examiners will
be available during most practical examination sessions this year (except Licentiate
Sessions), subject to programming constraints. Registration for a Teacher Consultation
can be made via the Practical examination enrolment form.
Trainee examiners
AMEB has a comprehensive and rigorous program for examiner training and professional
development. A Trainee Examiner may be present during an examination and may
conduct all or part of an examination. However, the Supervising Examiner will be
responsible for the examination and will provide the official assessment and written
report.
Warm-up
For candidates presenting for examinations at the AMEB Studios in Hawthorn, warm-
up facilities will be offered for a period of approximately 10 minutes to candidates in
Piano Grade 8, Certificate of Performance, Associate and Licentiate; all Voice and all
Instrumental subjects. Candidates may be accompanied to the warm-up room by their
accompanist and teacher. Warm-up facilities are provided for the purpose of warming-
up and tuning instruments; candidates and accompanists should not expect to have
sufficient time to rehearse repertoire. Note also that the availability of warm-up facilities
at other examination venues cannot be guaranteed and should not necessarily be
expected.

Aural examination regulations

Due to the nature of aural examinations, it is essential that candidates present for
examination at the scheduled time. Candidates will not be permitted to enter the
examination room once the exam has commenced, due to the disturbance this creates
and the inconvenience to other candidates.
At the commencement of Aural examinations, candidates will be given a short listening
time, in order to become familiar with the sounds used on the recording. Before the
end of the examination, at the conclusion of the recording, candidates will be given ten
minutes checking time during which writing is permitted.
Relocation of Written examinations

A candidates written examination may be re-located from one centre to another, provided
that the application is accompanied by a re-scheduling fee of $40.00 and it is received
at least fourteen days prior to the date of examination. Approval will be subject to the
availability of seating at the requested centre. Similarly, a request to change a candidates
grade will not be accepted unless it is received at least fourteen days prior to the
examination, together with a re-scheduling fee of $40.00.

How to Enrol for Online Theory Exams
Go to: www.amebexams.edu.au
Online Theory exams can be taken online at any time, within twelve months of purchase,
for the following grades. Candidates and teachers benefit from unlimited practice
opportunities and quick results.
Theory of Music, Grades 1 to 6
Musicianship, Grades 1 to 6
Music Craft, Grades 1 to 4
Register on the site to become an Account Holder

A teacher, parent or candidate aged 18 or over can register free of charge for the site and
create a unique username and password. Once registered, the Account Holder can gain
Written Exams
access to tutorials, sample exams and the ability to purchase exams.
Buying an exam
Once registered the Account Holder can buy an exam at any time for an individual
candidate or a group of candidates, who can take the exam at the same or different
times. When entering details, supply the candidates full name as it appears on the AMEB
Victoria database and correct date of birth, which is important for data matching.
Candidate Exam Key and password

When buying an exam for a candidate, select a password that the candidate will use every
time they access tutorials, practice exams, or the exam itself.
Once an exam is purchased, the candidate will be issued with an Exam Key, a unique code
which gives access to practice and actual exams when used with the correct password.
Please note the Exam Key expires twelve months after purchase, therefore the exam
should be completed within twelve months of purchase.
Buying exams for groups of students

There are two options when purchasing exams for a group of students. The first option
allows enrolment of a number of candidates for a variety of subjects and grades. The
second option allows enrolment of multiple candidates to do the same subject and grade
at the same time. All candidates entered under this option will be presented with an
identical set of questions for their exams. However, if a candidate enrolled under the
group exam option is absent from the exam time set for the group, he/she can take the
exam at a later date but will be presented with a different set of questions.
Tutorials
The video tutorials show all the techniques required to complete the exam questions.
The more important techniques include: using the up and down arrow to select an
answer; using the dragging tool to change a note, write a scale or add beams; using
the drawing tool to draw slurs: and using the eraser tool to correct mistakes.
Practice exams
Candidates can login to the system using their Exam Key and password to take practice
exams at any time. Practice exams are timed and candidates can work through the
questions in any order. In the lower grades, candidates will be able to see the marking for
each section as they go along and see the result for each practice exam immediately after
completion. In higher grade exams, the practice exam cannot be marked by the system,
but the candidates answers are saved onto the system, to be reviewed with teachers or
parents at any time. This applies to Theory of Music, Grade 4 and above; Musicianship,
Grade 3 and above; and Music Craft, Grade 3 and above.

Starting an exam
When a candidate (or group of candidates) is ready to take an actual exam, they should
login using the Exam Key and password. On the Start Exam page, a supervisor is required
to electronically sign a declaration that the candidate is working alone, without the aid of
materials or personal assistance. Supervisors are asked to give a mobile phone number
and are randomly contacted for verification of this statement.
The exam is timed and will be submitted for marking when the time allocation has been
reached or when the candidate clicks Finish, whichever is first.
Exam results
In the lower grades, the system marks the exam instantaneously and the candidate can
immediately see the exam result. The teacher or parent who enrolled the candidate for
the exam can also log in to see the result and review answers with the candidate. This
applies to: Theory of Music Grades 1 to 3, Musicianship Grades 1 and 2, and Music Craft
Preliminary to Grade 2.
Written Exams
For higher grades, an examiner will mark the exam manually and three or four business
days after completing the exam, the candidate will receive an email notifying him/her that
the exam has been marked. The teacher, parent and candidate can then login to see the
results and review the answers.
Exam certificates
Results for online theory exams are received by AMEB Victoria weekly and certificates
are mailed to the enrolling person in the usual way. The result will also appear on the
teachers history of candidate results, which the teacher can view online if registered for
AMEB Connect.
FAQs
If you have any questions about AMEB Online Theory exams, please consult the FAQ
section of the exam website.
