AMEB Violin Preliminary Recorded Accompaniments (Series 9)

This collection of piano accompaniments has been recorded as a practice tool and for use in AMEB examinations. The accompaniments correspond with AMEB Series 9 Violin Preliminary grade repertoire and technical exercises. These piano accompaniments have been recorded as practice tools and for use in early grade AMEB examinations. They feature performances of the accompaniment part for pieces in the corresponding AMEB grade books and we hope that they prove to be a valuable resource for students and teachers around the country. AMEB encourages candidates and teachers to rehearse and perform with accompanists wherever this is possible.You may choose to use the Recorded Accompaniments as a practice tool and use your own accompanist in the exam room. AMEB strongly encourages playing with an accompanist whenever this is possible, however, we are aware that not everyone has immediate access to an accompanist. Availability of accompanists has become more and more of an issue – particularly in regional areas in recent years - and the overall cost of music education and exams has become an economic issue for many families. These are among the reasons AMEB has allowed for this alternative from 2015. MyTempo app mytempo AMEB is proud to announce the launch of its very first practice app, MyTempo with the release of the Recorded Accompaniments. MyTempo allows students to speed up, slow down and loop any recording through their smartphone or tablet. MyTempo corresponds to the release of the Recorded Accompaniments, allowing users to practise with the Recorded Accompaniment at any speed they choose. MyTempo is available for both Apple and Android smartphones and tablets and can be downloaded from the links below. More information here. The MyTempo app will allow you to purchase individual tracks from within the app. Alternatively, if you buy a hardcopy CD, you can transfer the tracks onto your device in order to play them through the app. While the app’s main feature is to speed up and slow down the recording, it has some other features such as a ‘loop function’ that will allow you to practice the same passage time after time and a metronome function that will allow you to check the speed you are playing the recording.
