LMusA

LMusA

The Licentiate diploma in Music, Australia or LMusA is a diploma offered by the Australian Music Examinations Board. The Licentiate diploma is seen as the highest award given by the AMEB, outranking the Associate diploma and the graded certificate exams. The Fellowship diploma (FMusA), though higher than the LMusA, is mostly conferred on an honorary basis to musical luminaries.

Its conferment is determined by the candidate's achievement in a 1 hour federal exam marked by two examiners. It is awarded to candidates whose proficiency in their respective instrument demonstrates musicality, confidence, and technical mastery in such a way that a near-professional standard has been reached. As the AMEB is considered the benchmark of music examination boards in Australia, achieving this award is seen with great prestige, and signifies a candidate with a very high performance standard, greater than undergraduate study at a music conservatorium.

Where graded exams are given marks between an A+ and a D (not satisfactory), the diplomas are awarded under two descriptors; an 'Award', or an 'Award with Distinction'. Those unable to fulfill the requirements of the award are seen as achieving a 'No Award'. Achieving an 'Award' can be compared to achieving an A grade in other exams, which shows the mastery needed to fulfill the requirements of this award. An 'Award with Distinction' is achieved by showing performance flair, consistent technical and musical command and penetrating stylistic insight on top of the requirements for the pass 'Award'. The current pass rate is approximately at 10% of all applicants, with only 10% of that number achieving 'Award with Distinction'.

It is a requirement that the candidate passes Sixth Grade in either the Theory of Music or Musicianship to achieve the LMusA in performance, and a C Grade in Sixth Grade Performance to achieve the LMusA in the Theory of Music.
