23.01.2022 AMEB Victoria are offering free Performance Evaluations by video to each VCE Unit 4 Music Performance student as part of their 2020 Student Support Program. This performance evaluation is a chance for students to perform some or all of their VCE program and receive constructive feedback from a specialist examiner in classical or contemporary performance practice.
