Ah I see. Here (in Australia) it's the same, only we have AMusA, LMusA, and FMusA I think. Something like that. I'm not a hundred per cent sure after LMus.

I'm doing my AMusA over two years, starting this year. I did grade 8 in 2000. I have a few friends who have done/are doing their AMusA as well. I don't know anyone who's done/doing LMusA (yet), other than my old teacher who did the South African equivalent of FMus (I think).

Is there an American equivalent?
