Who Are We?

At ANZCA Music Examinations, we believe music exams should be more than a test — they should be a meaningful step in a musician’s growth.

Music is constantly evolving. It’s vibrant, diverse, and full of creative energy — and we design our exams to reflect that. As a non-profit examining body for the performing arts, we’re driven by a deep commitment to support the development of music, musicians, and music educators alike.

Our approach combines strong educational foundations with practical, real-world thinking. We aim to make the exam experience both challenging and rewarding — never intimidating. Teachers consistently value our high standards and the supportive atmosphere we foster.

We invite you to discover more about ANZCA through our website — and to join us in making music assessment a positive, inspiring part of every musician’s journey.

IN PERSON EXAMS

ANZCA’s in-person exams offer students a supportive, real-time assessment experience with qualified examiners. These sessions allow for direct interaction, immediate feedback, and the opportunity to perform in a focused, encouraging environment. Ideal for those who thrive in face-to-face settings, in-person exams uphold the personal connection at the heart of music education.

VIDEO EXAMS

For students who need more flexibility, ANZCA’s video exams provide a convenient alternative. Candidates can record and submit their performances from anywhere, on their own schedule, while still receiving detailed, constructive feedback. Video exams maintain the same high standards as in-person assessments and are a valuable option for remote learners, busy schedules, or those who prefer the comfort of familiar surroundings.
