Syllabuses

Saxophone – Grades 6, 7 and 8
Attention is drawn to the fact that The Orchestral Saxophonist, ed Ronkin and Frascotti (Roncorp), is no longer available from music stores. This is due to copyright which has been recently reviewed and the book can no longer be brought into Australia.

Candidates wishing to be examined in Saxophone Grades 6, 7 or 8 during 2007, who do not have The Orchestral Saxophonist, are asked to note that they can present for List D another work from the other Manual Lists for the Grade. This stipulation will appear in the 2008 Manual of Syllabuses

General Knowledge Guidelines
General Knowledge Guidelines have been developed for all three levels of the practical music syllabuses. It is highly recommended that teachers and students familiarise themselves with these guidelines which were implemented in 2006.

Speech Syllabuses
Amendment to Regulation 17 – Additional and Prerequisites Requirements
The applicable table for regulation 17 was omitted from the 2007-2008 Speech Manual. Regulation 17 was amended in 2005 to allow prerequisites for the old ASDA/LSDA, to be transferable to the new ADPA/LDPA. Click
amended Regulation 17 to read the complete regulation 17.

Syllabus Review

Syllabus Review Process
The AMEB Syllabus Review Process is a consultative approach to syllabus development. We seek input from teachers, examiners, students and parents. Consequently, a new syllabus takes time to develop.
