ABRSM
ABRSM is a world authority on musical assessment, actively supporting and encouraging music learning for all.
We motivate musical achievement through our authoritative assessment of students, the professional development of their teachers and a wide range of published resources. We also actively support music education through funding and advocacy.
By delivering our exams rigorously and consistently, we set the worldwide gold standard with over 600,000 people in over 90 countries choosing to take them every year.
As part of our commitment to excellence in music education, we provide a rich resource of materials, from albums of repertoire for the earliest stages of learning to scholarly editions of the great composers. Our online presence includes SoundJunction, our award-winning site for music learners.
We know that good teachers endeavour to enhance their professional skills. We support their continuing professional development through our innovative courses and online learning resources.
To build on our 120 years inspiring generations of musicians, we provide charitable donations, scholarships and sponsorships as well as acting as an advocate for music education. We do all we can to give music a voice in public life because we believe it has the power to change people’s lives.
Services & resources
Since 1889, ABRSM have provided music teachers and their students with exams and assessments that nurture and evaluate an individual's performance and progress.
As the world's leading specialist in music assessment, our consistent and rigorous approach carries recognised international authority.
We have designed our exams and assessments to motivate students of all levels and ages, giving them a series of realistic goals and tangible rewards for their achievements.
Exam syllabuses are not intended to provide a complete curriculum. Students are encouraged to play and experience as much music as possible, embracing a wide range of genres.
