GUILD The Australian Guild of music Education is an music education body dedicated entirely to Distant Education

and Tertiary Courses AGME (Faculty of Music) and the AGME (Public Examination sector) which caters for

public examinations in music.

The GUILD encompasses both bodies.

The Australian Guild of Music and Speech was/is primarily an examining body in the fields of music and

speech.

HISTORICAL INFORMATION

The AGMS was formed in 1969 and has Syllabi in all traditional areas. The Guild was the first body

to evolve an Electronic Organ Syllabus, a Digital Keyboard Syllabus, a Modern Piano Syllabus and

modern Woodwind, Brass and Guitar Syllabi. These modern syllabi have all been very successful.

The Guild still unequivocally leads in these areas.

The AGME (Public examination sector) through an Australia wide system of Graded examinations aims to

develop music and speech education and skills by promoting uncompromising standards of education in both

performing and teaching. To that end, all AGME Syllabi whether traditional or contemporary have been

formulated to promote those ideals. AGME Syllabi have been innovatively enhanced to allow candidates and

teachers full access to a large selection of works in order to progress to their full potential. AGME Syllabi

offer the concept of OWN CHOICE in any List and in any practical subject area on the basis that no one

person is the same as another.

Many different physical, mental and emotional factors sometimes cause the withdrawal of a candidate’s

musical interest when confronted with an uncompromising selection of works, as so often happens in many

syllabi.

The official Syllabi of the AGME are designed to meet the needs of private Teachers, Professional Musicians

and Educational Institutions, as well as to cater for those whose desire is to pursue the study and practice of

their art chiefly for its aesthetic and spiritual values, if not for professional reasons. Because of the character

of the AGME constitution as revealed in the ‘Articles of Association’ the body is particularly suited for such a

purpose. Therefore their Lists will be found to be comprehensive, catering for the academically minded, the

performing artist and for those who seek recreation, cultured self-expression and the development of a

rewarding and satisfying professional life.

The AGME conducts many thousands of practical and theory examinations every year throughout Australia,

Singapore, Malaysia and in Sabah and Sarawak in Borneo. Malaysia has centres in Kuala Lumpa, Ipoh

(North), Penang (Nth West) as well as in the Eastern areas of the country. Additionally, Sabah across the

China Sea in North Borneo at Copa, Kinabalu is also a very strong base of Guild activity. Brunei is another

successful Centre. An initiative to commence examinations in mainland China is already under way.

PUBLICATIONS OUT OF PRINT It is inevitable in any Contemporary Syllabus that publications change

and some will go out of print within a space of time. This is unfortunate but a circumstance over which we

have no control.

TERTIARY PROFESSIONAL COURSES

In addition the Guild offer a complete music program to the dedicated student and can offer either by Distance

or attendance a range of professional courses in music all fully accredited.

VET Level courses include Certificate I-IV, Diploma and Advanced Diploma. VET Fee Help is

available to eligible Diploma and Advanced Diploma students.

Higher Education Bachelor of Music program is available. Fee Help is available to eligible

Degree students. This is not Means Tested.

AUSTUDY is available for all courses.

IMPORTANT NOTES FOR TEACHERS AND CANDIDATES.

GENERAL SYLLABUS NOTES. This combined Clarinet Syllabus provides a series of examinations commencing at Step One level, thence

through Step Two and Three, Grades One to Seven, Proficiency Certificate and the Diploma Division.

The three syllabi are based on progressive technical and musical development, the acquisition of a

worthwhile repertoire of works and the building of a sound foundation in musicianship. All of the work is

carefully graded, and teachers preparing students for these examinations, which provide for a wide range of

abilities, will have a very useful outline upon which to develop their lessons.

All Syllabi should be used in conjunction with the current AGME Handbook, so that requirements and

conditions can be met. For the convenience of both candidates and teachers, Ear Tests and General

Knowledge Sections for each Grade and Diploma level have been included in the actual syllabus

requirements rather than in a separate section as in the earlier editions.

EXAMINATION MUSIC. All of the chosen music provides a basis for a sound foundation and a pleasing repertoire. A few items in the

Examination Lists are published in a number of alternative versions. Care should be taken to ensure that the

correct edition for the specific Grade standard is obtained.

From GRADE SIX onwards, where there are Four Lists, the Classical Syllabus music should reflect as far as

is possible, the four main periods in musical development: viz:-

List A. Baroque. Contrapuntal. Polyphonic Period.

List B. Classical Period.

List C. Romantic or National Period.

List D. Modern Period. 20th Century.

OWN CHOICE. ALL SYLLABI. As an aid to individual student development, an OWN CHOICE section is included in every Grade and

Diploma List throughout the entire three syllabi. The only exception to this concession is in List D in Grades

SIX and SEVEN in the Classical Syllabus.

However, this concession should only be used sparingly as the Lists in most cases are musically and

technically adequate for the candidate.

In Preliminary and in Grades One and Two, the OWN CHOICE selection is left to the discretion of the

teacher and/or the candidate. From Grade THREE onwards, it is normal procedure to apply to the AGME

for permission to include OWN CHOICE works in a candidate's examination program. Generally. a photo

copy of the first page of the work should be forwarded to the AGME office.

Teachers and candidates should be most careful to maintain adequate contrast in style and comparable

difficulty when selecting an OWN CHOICE work.

AGME EXAMINATIONS. AGME examinations provide an excellent goal for students in their music studies. They give a sense of

purpose and direction and can be undertaken in addition to other music activities. They are not meant to be

the only event in a student's musical year. The report provides a reliable assessment of a candidate's progress

and contributes to the student's overall musical development.

MEMORY. Although not a Grade requirement, the playing of all music from memory is to be encouraged. Memory

work is required in the Associate and Licentiate Diploma practical examinations.



IMPORTANT NOTES FOR TEACHERS AND CANDIDATES. Continued.

PERFORMANCE. MODERN AND JAZZ SYLLABI ONLY. It is expected that teachers and candidates will give careful consideration to the development of technical

skill and musical ability so that the necessary styling demands of the music be adequately met.

Individualism, creativeness and improvisational ability is to be constantly encouraged in all grade levels in

order to prepare for the demands of the Proficiency Certificate and Diploma examinations.

Generally in all Lists, it is recommended that a minimum of 2 choruses be played when the chosen piece is

in simple binary form. It is expected that the candidate will become familiar with most modern styles and

rhythms during their course of study in these modern areas.

ASSESSMENT. Examiners will consider the following points.

a. Manner of standing and holding the instrument.

b. Articulation.

c. Breathing, embouchure and general technical control.

d. Quality and clarity of tone.

e. Accuracy of time and tempo.

f. Tuning.

g. Phrasing, dynamic control and range.

h. Style.

i. Fluency.

Candidates must use the recognised normal pitch, and in the manipulation of the instrument, should use

minimum finger movement. Candidates must provide their own accompanist who may remain in the

Examination room only whilst performing that task. The teacher may act as accompanist, but not the

Examiner, except in the case of an accompanied sight reading test. The tuning of the instrument is entirely

the responsibility of the candidate, the accompanist or the teacher. The Examiner must not assist in this task.

Candidates must bring their own music stand to the Examination room.

**************************************************************



SCALES AND ARPEGGIOS. COMBINED CLARINET SYLLABUS. Scales and Arpeggios have been selected to allow for that essential natural growth in instrumental control and

key development to occur.

All scales and arpeggios must be played from memory.

Any recognised standard edition manual of scales and arpeggios may be used. Correct fingering and accurate,

fluent playing of all scales and arpeggios is essential.

TEMPO. The suggested scale tempo for each particular grade is to be interpreted as an approximate speed.

Scales and arpeggios must be fluent at all times, and clarity, tone, control and accuracy should never be

sacrificed for excessive tempo. The technical level for each Grade should be duly regarded, although

reasonable tempo modifications are allowable. The metronome indications placed at the beginning of each

Grade requirement are an indication only of the speed required for that particular Grade.

NOTE:- The Classical and Modern Syllabi in this publication HAVE THE SAME SCALES AND

ARPEGGIOS listed for each Step, Grade and also for the Proficiency Certificate, and are interchangeable in

this regard. However, there are small changes in the Jazz syllabus.

Always refer at all times to the appropriate Syllabus for exact requirements.

Teachers have the choice of entering their student(s) at any examination level except for the Associate and

Licentiate Diplomas. Entry to this area is through the Proficiency Certificate. Preliminary and the early grade

examinations are intended to ensure that sound technical foundations are laid, and also to accustom very

young students to examination conditions and demands. No 'system' is insisted upon and any recognised

fingering pattern, scale book or basic Tutor is acceptable in the examination work submitted.

The work in these examinations should not be played excessively quickly, nor yet be unduly retarded.

Examiners will watch for correct instrument position and for a developing embouchure and finger technique.

Accuracy and clarity of tone are important, so therefore all unnecessary movement should be eliminated.

Remember that a relaxed control should always be the aim. Special attention should be given to the

development of technique especially for the playing of scales and exercises. Co-ordination and precision of

control must be encouraged and constantly corrected by the teacher. Indeed, everything must be closely su-

pervised to ensure the correct development of good habits. A sound technique needs to be cultivated right from

the beginning.
