Fellowship in Music, Australia  The Fellowship in Music, Australia (FMusA) is the highest qualification attainable by the Australian Music Examinations Board (AMEB). It is awarded only on an honorary basis by the AMEB. From 1992 to 2017 it was an examinable qualification. The AMEB is a federated body which administers music examinations in Australia, and its Fellowship is considered a very prestigious award. To have presented for examination at this level, a candidate must have obtained the diploma of Licentiate in Music, Australia (LMusA) in the same subject. An FMusA practical examination took the form of a public recital, and was assessed by three examiners. Candidates had to present a repertoire that was 80 minutes in length, and presentation from memory was encouraged (and required for some subjects). An interval between pieces was allowed. Candidates received one of two grades at this level: "qualified" or "not qualified". As of November 1, 2019, The AMEB has announced the return of the FMusA as an examinable qualification with a new syllabus.
