The Asia Music and Performing Arts Education (AMPA Education) on Friday in HCM City signed a partnership agreement with the Australian Music Exam Board (AMEB) on training courses and provision of AMEB music qualifications.
The tie-up marks a new milestone for AMPA Education to officially become a strategic partner of AMEB, striving together toward a common goal of serving the community through the arts.
At the signing ceremony, the two sides committed to a sustainable partnership through non-profit arts education projects, bringing AMEB's programmes and certifications closer to the community by providing music students and teachers with access to creative education with international standards.
AMEB and AMPA Education collaboratively develop quality arts training programmes and organise AMEB examinations in Viet Nam.
The co-operation not only provides Vietnamese students with a new option for international music certification, but also creates an opportunity for them to improve their skills and upgrade their expertise to a global standard through workshops and master classes conducted by international experts from AMEB.
By using AMEB syllabi and taking part in exams, students and teachers can join hands with AMPA Education to raise funds for the Dream Space project, one of AMPA Education’s key fundraising initiatives that aim to bring creative education to every child in Viet Nam.
“AMPA Education would like to provide a wide selection of international music syllabi to the community of Vietnamese teachers and students. Thus, we are honoured to become an official representative of a prestigious organization like AMEB and to have AMEB as an excellent addition to our current system of programs,” said Pham Doan Ha My, executive director of AMPA Education.
“We believe that AMEB plays a significant part in the big picture of creative education development in Viet Nam. The co-operation between AMPA Education and AMEB will give the Vietnamese music community more opportunities to develop their potential and to be recognised by an international arts qualification. Through this partnership, we believe that the positive impact of music and arts education will be spread further and wider in Viet Nam."
Established in 1918, the Australian Music Examinations Board (AMEB) is Australia’s leading provider of examination services for music, speech and drama, and has also gained professional recognition in Australia and in many markets around the world. – VNS
