The St. Cecilia School of Music was established in 1974 in Launceston, Tasmania, Australia.

The St. Cecilia School of Music was developed to provide a professional music teaching school to cater for the growing number of music students in Tasmania.

Within a short period of time over 1000 music students were enrolled in the School with 18 fully-qualified professional music teachers. The tradition of offering high-quality music education continues to this day.

Major events featuring the School’s students, have been held in Launceston for the past 51 years. Local as well as interstate and overseas guests are regularly featured in St. Cecilia events.

The expansion of the School’s Examination system (St. Cecilia Examinations Intl.) resulted from a need for a broader, more relevant and consistent approach to assessing the capabilities of music students at all levels. The examination system also offers professional teaching and performing qualifications.

St Cecilia Examinations (SCSM Intl.) holds examinations throughout Australia and New Zealand as well as in parts of Asia, South Africa and Europe. We welcome enquiries from schools, studios and individual teachers who wish to be part of our successful music assessment system.
