Rockschool is the contemporary music option offered by the Australian Music Examinations Board (AMEB). What is the philosophy behind Rockschool?
Rockschool syllabuses and exams are designed to provide an innovative, contemporary qualification for musicians. The syllabuses structure your learning so you can reach your goals and provide globally recognised qualifications.
Having been a student and receiving a Licentiate certificate (highest level of examination qualification) from your studies at Rockschool, how would you describe your experience of studying the Rockschool syllabuses?
My experience has been both extremely fun and educational – each grade has provided me with new challenges and skills that have helped me develop as a vocalist and overall musician.
Your solo project Abbey Grace is really starting to take off and has seen you release a series of singles and an EP. How did Rockschool prepare you to launch your music career?
Rockschool prepared me to become a professional musician with syllabuses that honed my aural and vocal skills. In particular, the Diploma and Licentiate levels allowed me to design a gig performance and re-work songs to help me explore my originality as an artist. These levels also gave me knowledge on factors such as social media, music business and OH&S, making me wiser as an artist.
I’m a prospective Rockschool student. How and where do I enrol and what do I need to get started?
You can download the full syllabus for your instruments for free and you can buy a grade book for your level at the AMEB website.
