  • The AMusA or Associate diploma in Music, Australia is a diploma awarded to outstanding musical candidates by the Australian Music Examinations Board. The AMusA, also called AMus, is considered a prestigious award, ranking above the grades available, but below the Licentiate diploma (LMusA). An AMusA practical examination is conducted by two examiners and lasts for roughly forty-five minutes. Candidates applying for an AMusA practical must prepare repertoire that is no longer than thirty-five minutes, but no shorter than twenty-five minutes. The other ten minutes is used for testing general knowledge. Marking an AMusA exam is different to grade exams. From Preliminary to Eighth Grade, the marking ranges from A+ (exceeding all requirements) to a D (not meeting satisfactory requirements). For all diploma examinations, there are only three possible marks that can be attained. "No Award" means one has not met requirements to gain the diploma. "Award" means one has met requirements to gain the diploma. "Award with Distinction" means one has exceeded requirements to gain the diploma. Australian musicians consider the AMus to be at a level of performance standard equivalent to or greater than undergraduate performance practice in a dedicated conservatoire. For candidates in performance, a prerequisite pass in fifth grade musicianship or musical theory is needed for the award. The AMusA is awarded in these performance categories: Piano Organ Accordion Electronic organ Violin Viola Violoncello Double Bass Recorder Flute Oboe Clarinet Bassoon Saxophone Horn Trumpet Trombone Tuba Euphonium Band Harp Classical guitar Singing Theory of Music Musicianship This test is funded by the AMEB (Australian Music Examinations Board) which is a private, Australian instituion which creates grade tests. The test is not compulsory and is for those who want to become professional musicians.
