Rockschool mock exam workshop with Hamish Houston
Join AMEB Rockschool Examiner and contemporary music specialist, Hamish Houston, for this free workshop.
Hamish will present a mock exam, complete with a mock Candidate and all the trimmings for a Grade Exam. Along the way, he'll introduce the aspects to the exam, demonstrate how the Candidate is supported in the exam room, and explain the purpose of various elements from the assessment perspective . He'll also save some time for Q&A at the end for anything else you might be curious about.
This is a rare insight into the inner workings of an exam and not to be missed. Teachers, Candidates, and their cheer squad are all very welcome.

As an electric bassist, he is a sought-after sideman, accompanying blues, soul, and funk bands throughout the state. His skill and musical forethought, however, are most apparent when he plays jazz and improvised music on the upright bass. He is a music educator in the UTAS Discipline of Music in Hobart - The Hedberg. In 2017 he received an Arts Tasmania grant to study the upright bass under the mentorship of National Jazz Award-winning bassist, Sam Anning.
