Examinations

The Music Academy SA offers a unique graded music examination system that focuses on the contemporary musician. Examination levels range from beginners’ grades to advanced levels that include Performers Licentiate as well as Teachers Licentiate in various instruments over the past 33 years.

The Music Academy SA was the first examination system to implement a digital examination format in 2010 using SKYPE as an exam platform.
As of 2020, due to the COVID Pandemic, all examinations take place in the form of a digital format. The only exemption is the Performer Licentiate.

Currently, we offer three examination periods per year namely:
March/April
July/August
November/December
