Our AMEB Tasmania Examiners are some of the finest performing artists and educators from around the state, and love the time they spend hearing the performances presented during exams.
The role of Senior Examiner was introduced in 2021, and we're delighted to announce the inaugural appointee as Dr Jody Heald AM.
Our Examiners are experts in their fields and their knowledge extends well beyond their primary instrument or speciality. Below are listed the examining areas that each specialise in. Some of our more experienced examiners may examine a wider variety of exams in some regional centres.
