AMEB introduced this new option of exam called "repertoire" exam. Repertoire examination is the exam where students need to play the pieces, with NO general knowledge, Aural test, sight-reading, technical works, scales.
what's the difference with old exam and this repertoire exam? - for this repertoire exam, we can only use new syllabuses (2019) - Level 1 (preliminary to Grade 4): requires to perform 4 pieces (3 from lists +1 own choice pieces) - Level 2 (Grade 5 to Grade 8): requires to perform 5 pieces (3 from lists+ 2 own choice pieces) - Own choice piece is different from extra list, it is included in the assessment, which means, we need to prepare it as same standard as other exam pieces. - There is prerequisite for Level 2 (Grade 5 to Grade 8): students must achieve a Pass from Theory exam or Music Craft exam. Find more information from : https://www.ameb.edu.au/shop/syllabuses-study-resources/manual-of-syllabuses-2084/piano-syllabus.html (AMEB 2019 Piano Syllabus.) students who is taking AMEB exams this year, I'd strongly recommend to purchase this syllabus and have a careful look. Reference: 2019 Manual Syllabus (AMEB) p.87 "The Melbourne International Piano and Strings Festival is one of Australia's most prestigious classical music festivals. For local students, there is the option to enter the competitions and/or sign up to a masterclass. Top students will also be invited to perform in the Gala concerts at the Elisabeth Murdoch Hall, Melbourne Recital Centre, on the evening of 5 August."
My old teachers Kenji Fujimura and Tamara Smolyar are also the part of teaching faculty of this great opportunity. If you can, don't miss the opportunity to have Masterclass with them. Any of my students who is willing to apply this event, please consult with me. The application is due 30 June 2019 and competition will be held on 4 August 2019. for more information: https://www.iamusica.org/mipsf19-local |
