The Australian Music Examinations Board (AMEB) is pleased to announce the release of the new Flute Syllabus in 2013 now available for examination in all States.

As well as the comprehensive review of the technical work requirements culminating in Flute Technical work (2012), this syllabus features new Grade Books that now begin at Preliminary and extend up to Sixth Grade. The Grade Books include exciting and challenging repertoire in a range of styles and the syllabus also features wholly revised Manual Lists that draw on some of the most attractive recent publications for the Flute. A new Sight-reading book, Flute Sight-reading (2012), following specially designed sight-reading parameters, has also been produced to accompany the new syllabus. This syllabus includes two new examinations, Preliminary at the beginning of the syllabus and the Certificate of Performance to cap Level 2 examinations.

This syllabus will be examined concurrently with the Flute syllabus that last appeared in the 2012 Manual of syllabuses for two years after the release of the new syllabus. During these two years the new syllabus will be evaluated and from the start of 2015 the previous Flute syllabus will no longer be available for examination.

The following publications may be used with the new syllabus:

  • Flute Technical work (2012)
  • Flute Series 3 Preliminary – Sixth Grade (2012)
  • Flute Sight-reading (2012)
  • Flute Series 2 First Grade – Fourth Grade (2000)

Flute Series 1, Flute and piccolo Technical work (revised 1998) and Flute and piccolo Orchestral excerpts (1998) may not be used with the new syllabus. Flute Sight reading (2000), does not contain indicative examples of the standard of the sight reading in the new syllabus, but may be used as an extra resource for practice purposes. These books may only be used with the Flute syllabus that last appeared in the 2012 Manual of syllabuses.
