Musicianship and Music Craft



Concerts | Ensembles | Lessons | Music Association | Musicianship




From 2007, classes in Music Craft will be taught in lieu of Musicianship. Music craft is a new syllabus introduced by the AMEB comprising theoretical rudiments, aural training and the study of repertoire.

Music craft classes at College Street will be offered in Grades 2-4. Private musicianship lessons are available at all levels and may be relevant to boys wishing to study Grades 5 and 6 in conjunction with AMus and LMus examinations.

Musicianship is offered principally for boys who are advanced instrumentalists doing AMEB exams. The AMEB sets Music Craft and Musicianship as a prerequisite for practical examinations as follows:

Practical Guide Additional Requirement
Sixth Grade Pass Second Music Craft
Seventh Grade Pass Third Music Craft
Eighth Grade Pass Fourth Music Craft
AMusA Pass Fifth Musicianship
LMusA Pass Sixth Musicianship

It is therefore expected that advanced instrumentalists undertaking AMEB exams will study Music Craft in the Preps and/or be able to demonstrate a level of knowledge equivalent to that of Grade 1 Music Craft if wishing to enrol in Grade 2.
