a d v e r t o r i a l The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) is the world’s leading provider of music exams. Each year over 630,000 candidates take our exams in more than 90 countries around the world. Since 1889 we have provided music educators, pupils and parents with exams and assessments that promote consistent standards and carry recognised international authority. A total commitment to music education lies at the heart of our work. ABRSM enjoys a close relationship with four of the leading conservatoires in the UK: the Royal Academy of Music, London; the Royal College of Music, London; the Royal Northern College of Music, Manchester and the Royal Scottish Academy of Music & Drama, Glasgow. The graded exams and assessments are open to all age groups and to all levels of ability. As well as being accredited in England by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority, they are also recognised formally in a number of countries internationally. Prep Test The Prep Test is designed for pupils who have been learning an instrument for about six to nine months and provides an ideal introduction to taking an exam. It is intended to be as relaxed and enjoyable as possible – no marks are awarded and there is no pass or fail. At the end of the assessments candidates are immediately rewarded with a certificate, which includes positive and helpful comments from the examiner. Practical Exams Grades 1-8 Each of the eight graded exams represents a logical step in the musical development process. Practical syllabuses are available in over 35 subjects. A jazz syllabus for Grades 1-5 only is also available for clarinet, alto sax, tenor sax, trumpet, trombone, piano and ensembles, currently offered in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia and Singapore only. Practical exams offer candidates the opportunity to demonstrate their skills through prepared works and musicianship tests: set pieces or songs; scales and arpeggios/broken chords or, for singers, an unaccompanied folk song; sight-reading or quick study and aural tests. Theory of Music and Practical Musicianship Exams Grades 1-8 The Board believes that a thorough knowledge and understanding of the elements of music is essential in performance. For this reason, before moving on to a practical exam at Grade 6, 7 or 8, candidates must first The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music pass Grade 5 (or above) in Theory of Music, Practical Musicianship or a solo jazz subject. The Theory of Music syllabus is examined through written exams whilst the Practical Musicianship syllabus assesses formal theoretical knowledge in a more practical way. Diplomas These highly respected International qualifications provide valuable opportunities for musicians to gain recognition for their abilities and achievements. There are three diploma subject-lines: Music Direction; Music Performance and Instrumental/Vocal Teaching. Each subject-line has three levels of award: Diploma of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (DipA- BRSM); Licentiate of the Royal Schools of Music (LRSM) and Fellowship of the Royal Schools of Music (FRSM).
