VCE 2025 Practice Resources
5th May 2026
Auralia & Musition now include the 2025 contemporary and repertoire music performance exams. Additionally, new levels have been added to the practice syllabi to support the development of key vocabulary relating to dynamics, articulation, texture and tempo. This is particularly useful in giving students the language and knowledge they need to address the extended response questions in the exam.

Keyboard Style Writing
12th April 2026
Musition now includes a dedicated keyboard‑style writing feature, purpose‑built for teaching part writing from Roman numerals, 'jazz' chord symbols or figured bass. Instead of juggling paper, ad‑hoc notation tools, and manual grading, educators can guide students through structured, keyboard‑style writing tasks with immediate feedback.
Accessibility Advances
24th February 2026
As music programs continue to diversify, accessibility is a core requirement of responsible curriculum design. With new education accessibility regulations coming into force across multiple regions over the next 12–24 months, institutions are being asked to demonstrate that their digital learning tools meet modern standards for screen reader compatibility, keyboard navigation, alternative text, and equitable assessment pathways.
Beginner Orchestra Curriculum

We’re excited to announce the launch of a brand-new beginner orchestra curriculum for music theory and ear training—now included in Auralia & Musition!
This curriculum features an innovative instrument fingering integration that connects seamlessly with Musition’s note reading topic. Students can now visually link note names and staff positions with fingerings on their own instruments, making it easier than ever to build confident reading and playing skills. Pitches are automatically transposed for each instrument and displayed in the relevant clef. It’s ideal for any orchestra, band or instrumental program.
