Australian Music Examination Board: Stop the absorption of all piano examinations from the Wollongong

The issue

 

 

Stop the Changes for Metropolitan Exam Sessions, which require absorption of all piano examinations from the Wollongong. These changes are discriminative towards communities in the Illawarra and South Coast. Illawarra and South Coast community is rather isolated and struggling enough to sustain arts in the region lacking support from Federal and State Government. Arts should not be restricted to Sydney CBD. Why facilities in Wollongong are rejected as suitable for exams? Why Illawarra and South Coast community is forced to travel to Sydney CBD to hold the piano exam? These changes put additional financial and logistical strain on families and young striving performers.
