This collection of piano accompaniments is designed for students preparing for AMEB examinations, specifically the AMEB Series 9 Violin Preliminary Grade repertoire. These recordings provide valuable resources for students and teachers nationwide while addressing the limited access to live accompanists and the financial challenges of music education. AMEB introduced recorded accompaniments in 2015 as an alternative practice tool.

Additionally, AMEB offers the MyTempo app, allowing users to adjust the speed of recordings for personalized practice. The app lets users purchase individual tracks or transfer them from a hardcopy CD for both Apple and Android devices. It also features speed adjustment, a loop function, and a metronome for effective tempo monitoring.

This collection of piano accompaniments is designed to support students preparing for AMEB examinations, specifically for the Series 9 Violin First Grade repertoire and technical exercises. The recordings enhance the learning experience by accompanying pieces in the corresponding grade books. 

Understanding the challenges students encounter in accessing live accompanists, especially in regional areas, AMEB has permitted the use of recorded accompaniments since 2015. While live accompaniment is encouraged, these recordings provide a practical alternative, particularly considering the increasing costs of music education. This initiative ensures that all students receive the necessary support in their musical studies.

The AMEB Recorded Accompaniments CD for Violin Grade 2 Series 9 is a valuable study tool for musicians. It enhances their practice sessions and aids AMEB candidates during examinations by providing piano accompaniments that align with the Grade 2 repertoire and technical exercises. While AMEB encourages rehearsing with live accompanists, the challenges of accessing them, particularly in regional areas, have led to using recorded accompaniments since 2015, supporting musicians in their practice and performance.

This collection of piano accompaniments is a practice tool designed for AMEB examinations. It corresponds to the Series 9 Violin third-grade repertoire and technical exercises. AMEB encourages rehearsal with live accompanists but understands the difficulties in accessing one, especially in regional areas, so they allowed recorded accompaniments since 2015.

AMEB has launched the MyTempo app, enabling students to adjust playback speed and loop recordings on their devices. Tracks can be purchased within the app, or users can transfer tracks from a hardcopy CD. The app also features a metronome function for practice monitoring.
