ABOUT

Sunday 15th February 2026.

AMEB Piano Series 19 introduces a fresh, repertoire-rich syllabus featuring imaginative, engaging and pedagogically sound pieces and a strong representation of Australian composers.

This full-day workshop provides piano teachers with a clear, practical introduction and overview of the new Series — ideal for new teachers and a one off opportunity for experienced teachers wanting to discover its musical and pedagogical possibilities.

Led by series consultant Angela Turner, the day will explore Series 19 through live demonstrations, performances and masterclasses, offering practical insight into repertoire choices, technical expectations and assessment priorities across levels.

Lunch is included with time to connect with colleagues.

New and experienced teachers will gain: 

• a clear understanding of how Piano Series 19 is structured

• confidence navigating new and unfamiliar repertoire

• insight into technical and musical expectations across levels

• practical ideas you can use immediately in your studio
