Why I added the "confusing" tag[edit]

I've wikified and categorized this, but I'm still not sure I completely understand, probably because I don't know much about the Australian educational system. Is this something you get just by taking an exam (which is the impression I get), or is it given as part of/at the end of some course of schoolwork? I think it would help the article a lot if someone out there who knows more about this could make it a little clearer to non-Australian readers. Pinball22 17:16, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

yup thats correct. all you do is that you sit an exam and it pretty hard. you play a programme of works and then have a general knowledge quiz

==As someone who has an AMusA qualification in classical guitar I feel the page explains the exam very well and to the point as well. Anyone can take the exam as long as you've prepared the pieces. You can be 9 years old or 90 and don't need prior university education. In fact students can enter themselves into this exam even if they are not studying under a teacher. SOrry I'm not good with Wikipedia so I hope I've added this in the right place. Dream Reverie (talk) 10:58, 28 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest that the "confusing" tag should be removed[edit]

I have to disagree about the article itself. As an Australian but not a musician, my view is that the article explains the subject very well.

It is not the job of the article to explain the structure of the arts education system in Australian.

I proposed to remove the "confusing" tag in approx 1 week unless further discussion occurs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thesman123 (talk • contribs) 08:26, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A Bit Over The Top[edit]

The "prestigious award, equivalent to achieving an undergraduate tertiary qualification in Music" is a bit strong. I hold an AMusA diploma and while it is a useful measure of one's ability in things like instrumental performance, I do not believe it is anything like as valued as a degree in music. These days heaps of kids complete it while still in high school. JimBreen (talk) 01:57, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with this comment. Even in AMEB's own websites I don't see them equating their AMusA diploma to any official qualification. I am curious if anyone actually knows the official equivalent qualification for these diplomas, or if they are even recognised. Would the LMusA diploma be a better equivalent to an undergraduate tertiary qualification in music? 202.86.119.146 (talk) 07:20, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
