Examinations
At Mammoth Academy of Music we encourage students to undertake music examinations.
We run our examinations through the two main examination boards in Western Australia:
AMEB – The Australian Music Examinations Board
As one of the most respected bodies in this field AMEB’s qualifications are recognised as a national benchmark across Australia. 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.
and
ABRSM – Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music
ABRSM (The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music) was founded in 1889 in response to a proposition by Sir Alexander MacKenzie, principal of the Royal Academy of Music, to Sir George Grove, director of the Royal College of Music, that their two pre-eminent musical training institutions unite to create an examining body ‘inspired by disinterested motives for the benefit of musical education… which would genuinely provide a stimulus and an objective for a high standard of achievement’.
