The AMEB has been examining music students in Australia for almost one hundred years, but they're certainly not stuck in the past. They offer online music theory exams, piano for leisure and have recently added Rock School exams.

As their 100 year anniversary approaches AMEB are looking for new ways to support the work of music teachers across Australia. The online music theory exams are great for busy piano parents and the Rock School exams are an exciting addition for those students looking for a less traditional track. AMEB is also looking at ways to provide more professional development opportunities for music teachers, to continue to promote music learning in Australia.

Bernard Despasquale has been working with the AMEB for the last 8 years , and he's on the podcast today to explain what it is that makes the AMEB different, and what their plans are for the future.
