ABOUT ABRSM 

ABRSM (The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of 

Music) is a charitable company established for the benefit 

of music education by four of the Royal Schools of Music 

in the UK: 

Royal Academy of Music, London 

Royal College of Music, London 

Royal Northern College of Music, Manchester 

Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, Glasgow 

The Associated Board’s core activity is the operation of an 

authoritative and internationally recognised system of 

exams and assessments to encourage and motivate 

players and singers at all levels through the provision of 

goals and the measurement of progress. 

As the world leader in its field, ABRSM currently conducts 

over 630,000 music exams each year in more than 90 

countries. 

ABRSM Publishing is one of the UK’s leading music 

publishers, whose publications support the exams, provide 

additional repertoire and contribute to music education. 

ABRSM also provides professional development services for 

instrumental and singing teachers through its widely 

acclaimed Certificate of Teaching (CT ABRSM) course and a 

range of other courses, seminars and workshops. 

Our principal objective is to maintain and develop the 

services and products which we provide to music teachers 

and students to the highest standards. We also seek to 

play a significant role in influencing political debate in 

favour of music education.

8 REVIEW OF THE YEAR 

Richard Morris, Chief Executive, reflects on ABRSM activities 

during 2004. 

Introduction 

The scale of ABRSM operations continued to expand 

strongly in 2004 to new record levels. Candidate numbers 

for ABRSM exams worldwide rose by 4.2% to 635,000, of 

which 365,000 (+4.6%) entered in the UK and 270,000 

(+3.8%) overseas. Within these figures, there was a 

marginal decline in the number of diploma entries, but at 

circa 3,000 worldwide these remain around 40% higher 

than the level of annual entries for post-Grade 8 exams 

before the introduction of the new diplomas in 2000. 

Alongside these results, ABRSM Publishing turnover surged 

forward to a record £5.25 million. 

Despite all the political tensions across the world in 2004 

there were no disruptions to ABRSM examining sessions, 

and we were particularly pleased to be able to resume 

exams across Indonesia. At the end of the year our 

thoughts were directed towards those countries where we 

work that suffered the tsunami disaster, in particular 

Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Thailand. 

There were no changes to the membership of either our 

Governing Body or our senior executive team (as listed on 

page 3) during 2004. However, at the end of the year, we 

said farewell to two key people overseas: David Goodyear, 

who had served for 19 years as ABRSM New Zealand 

Administrator, and Bill Thompson, who for the last five 

years had been based in Kuala Lumpur as ABRSM South 

East Asia Regional Consultant. I thank them greatly for their 

major contributions to our international work and warmly 

welcome their respective successors, Heather Gummer and 

David Young. 

During the year ABRSM continued to support around 50 

scholars at four Royal Schools of Music. In February, we 

were delighted to hold a second Scholars’ Concert at our 

London offices, at which eight scholars performed a varied 

and highly enjoyable programme. 



REVIEW OF THE YEAR 9 

Exams 

A large number of new syllabuses was published in 2004 

to take effect from 2005. These included new syllabuses 

for piano, violin and cello and a comprehensively revised 

syllabus for harp including non-pedal harps up to Grade 8. 

Minor revisions were also made to the diploma syllabuses 

and these were re-issued as separate documents for 

direction, performance and teaching, fully accredited by the 

Qualifications and Curriculum Authority. 

Membership of examining panels continued to grow, so 

that by the end of the year there were 630 members of 

the practical panel, 43 for jazz, 106 for theory and 249 for 

diplomas. ABRSM continues to attach the highest 

importance to the selection, training and moderation of its 

examiners and to ongoing quality assurance in all aspects 

of exam delivery. In 2004 we completed a review of our 

provision for candidates with learning difficulties and/or 

sensory impairment. Revised guidelines have been issued 

and examiner training material has been filmed and used 

in annual seminar presentations. 

The Jazz Syllabus, available in the UK for piano since 1998 

and for instruments since 2003, was launched in Ireland in 

May. New arrangements were made with C F Peters in New 

York to support the work of our jazz representatives both 

there and in Canada. Meanwhile in the UK we offered 

substantial support to both actual and prospective jazz 

candidates and their teachers through a range of 17 

seminars across the country. 

Professional Development and Seminars 

The 2003/04 CT ABRSM course in the UK was successfully 

completed by 136 teachers and celebrated at an awards 

ceremony held at the Britten Theatre at the Royal College of 

Music in July. The guest speaker was Roger Wright, Controller 

of BBC Radio 3. There are now some 140 students mid-way 

through the 2004/05 course in the UK at five centres, of 

whom 31 are enrolled on the new residential version of this 

acclaimed course. Equivalent courses were completed and 

are now under way in Hong Kong and Singapore. 

Marking the 10th anniversary of the launch of the CT ABRSM 

course, in 2004 we undertook a comprehensive review of 

our professional development services, which included the 

convening of a conference of 60 experts in this field in June. 

The outcome of this review will be the introduction of 

additional courses, particularly aimed at those at the start of 

their music teaching careers, from 2005 onwards. 

During the year ABRSM organised a host of seminars for 

teachers of piano, violin, viola and cello to support the 

introduction of the new graded exam syllabuses. The 

seminars were held at 12 venues across the UK and were 

attended by around 1,800 teachers. Alongside these, we 

conducted our normal annual series of examiner seminars 

at eight different locations, which included a stimulating 

presentation by the leading violinist and scientific 

researcher Paul Robertson about the relationships between 

music and the functions of the brain. A further series of 

seminars was held for Honorary Local Representatives 

(HLRs) and a record 175 HLRs attended these events. 

During the year the HLR Guide was revised and updated to 

include new information on ABRSM’s Child Protection Policy, 

advice for selecting stewards and guidance about assisting 

candidates with access needs. 

International 

The continuing year on year growth in overseas exam 

candidates is remarkable and is now running at a 

cumulative 23% over the past five years. During 2004 new 

representatives were appointed in 13 countries, including the 

appointment of the Roland Foundation to help to develop 

our work in Japan. Reflecting the exceptional rate of growth 

in Hong Kong, we have introduced a second exam session 

to take place in the spring of each year in that territory. 

With these levels of international activity, ABRSM is now a 

major player in the field of international cultural relations. 

In 2004, 209 examiners spent a total of 12,500 days 

conducting ABRSM’s work in international centres, and 

visits were made by members of ABRSM staff based in 

London to 25 overseas countries across Europe, the USA, 

the West Indies, India, the Far East and Australasia. In 

November, we held the first ever ABRSM conference for our 



10 

representatives in the West Indies, bringing them together 

for three days of discussion in Barbados. 

There was a wide range of professional development and 

teacher support events throughout the world in 2004. 

Professional Development Programmes were held in 

Hong Kong, Macau, Malaysia and Singapore, focussing on 

the new Piano Syllabus for 2005/06, and the teaching of 

higher grades and of theory. As part of our Centenary Travel 

Grant programme, professional development conferences 

were also conducted in Malta and across five cities in 

India. Altogether during the year 57 overseas teachers’ 

meetings were organised and conducted by ABRSM. 

New Projects 

As foreshadowed in last year’s report, 2004 saw the launch 

of Music Medals. This brand new programme, designed to 

provide individual assessment during the early stages of 

instrumental learning for pupils taught in groups, had been 

under development for the previous four years. During this 

time there had been wide-ranging consultation, primarily 

with Music Services, on the needs of such pupils, and major 

pilot programmes across the UK. There were in fact three 

launch events: a first launch to heads of Music Services and 

Music Service teachers at the annual conference of the 

Federation of Music Services in May; this was followed by 

the press and public launch in London in June, which was 

attended by David Miliband MP, then Minister for Schools 

Standards, who warmly praised and supported these new 

accredited qualifications; finally, there was a launch at the 

annual conference of the National Association of Music 

Educators in September. At each of these events Music 

Medals were demonstrated effectively (and sensationally) by 

the violin duo DUEL. 

While the Music Medals publications were available from 

May, the assessments themselves came on stream towards 

the end of the year. Initially available for 17 instruments 

commonly taught in groups, this range will be extended 

further in 2005 and beyond. The development, planning, 

promotion and administration of Music Medals have made 

exceptional demands on all ABRSM staff and I most 

warmly applaud the spirit of collaboration which my 

REVIEW OF THE YEAR 

colleagues have shown and continue to show as we take 

Music Medals forward for wide dissemination in 2005 

and beyond. 

In 2004 we were also hard at work on the development of 

the SoundWorlds project, funded by Culture Online, part of 

the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. As mentioned 

last year, the objective is to extend access to music and 

enrich musical understanding, exploration and creativity 

through the creation of a new website and CD-ROM 

resource. By the time the project is launched later this year, 

well over 200 people will have been involved in its 

development, including composers, performers, consultants, 

authors, editors and teachers, and IT developers, designers 

and technicians. We are all confident that this highly 

innovative and creative project will provide a rich 

experience of interactions between music, video, 

photography and text for teachers, young people in and 

out of school and many others. 

The redesigned website, www.abrsm.org, launched at the 

end of 2003, was very well received in 2004. The site 

includes a large number of open access forums which 

have already attracted over 3,000 registered users, who 

have made more than 50,000 postings to the site. In total, 

well over one million topics have been opened and read 

by visitors. 

Publishing 

2004 was always going to be a busy year for ABRSM 

Publishing. The publication of a new Piano Syllabus 

coinciding with a new Violin Syllabus involved eight graded 

Selected Piano Exam Pieces albums plus twelve volumes 

of Selected Violin Exam Pieces. In addition the Piano 

Syllabus was accompanied by the Teaching Notes on Piano 

Exam Pieces 2005-6 and recordings of all the pieces on 

the new syllabus for 2005 and 2006 on both CD and 

cassette. For only the second time, recordings of all the 

violin pieces on the new syllabus were produced (just on 

CD), though difficulties with production unfortunately 

delayed the publication of some of the violin recordings. 



REVIEW OF THE YEAR 11 

ABRSM Publishing also published, only two months before 

the new piano and violin syllabus products, the first suite 

of Music Medals books. Twenty volumes of ensemble 

pieces at five levels for flute, violin, clarinet and treble clef 

brass instruments, plus Option Practice Books for those 

same instruments, were launched in May to support the 

major Music Medals presentations. Later, in the autumn, 

Option Practice Books for further instruments (guitar, cello, 

saxophone, recorder, viola, bass clef brass and trombone) 

plus ensemble books at five levels for guitar were issued. 

Meanwhile, plans for further ensemble books (recorder, 

saxophone) were in hand for publication in 2005. 

Alongside this already extensive programme, ABRSM 

Publishing had been supervising a major new book, All 

Together! Written by a wonderful collection of experts in 

the field of group teaching, All Together! was warmly 

received by teachers, educational administrators and critics 

alike. Recognition of the original and pioneering nature of 

both this book and the whole Music Medals resource 

came in the form of the Music Industries Association’s 

Innovation in Printed Music Publishing award for 2004. 

ABRSM Publishing’s year had begun in upbeat fashion with 

the launch of Spectrum for Cello. This collection of 16 

newly-commissioned works for cello and piano was 

enthusiastically welcomed by cello teachers and 

professional cellists in an entertaining presentation at 

24 Portland Place. Members of The Violoncello Society of 

London, including Sebastian Comberti, Steven Isserlis and 

Raphael Wallfisch, were on hand to bring the new works to 

life for the first time with many of the composers also 

present. A CD recording of all the pieces was included in 

the cello album. This book brought the total number of 

composers commissioned for the Spectrum series to 70 

and the total number of Spectrum pieces published to 91. 

A further innovation was the release of Achieving Success, 

a film designed to help those preparing for a diploma in 

performance. Made available in three formats, the film 

includes interviews with a diploma examiner and some 

successful candidates as well as exemplar performances 

on a variety of instruments. The DVD version also contains 

Chinese subtitles and a commentary in Cantonese to help 

candidates and teachers in South East Asia. 

Visits to Australia, the Caribbean, Cyprus, Germany, 

Hong Kong, India, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, 

Spain, Taiwan and the USA were undertaken by ABRSM 

Publishing staff, involving product presentations to retailers, 

exhibitions and trade shows, meetings with distributors 

and support for ABRSM seminars. Sales internationally in 

2004 were boosted by the simultaneous release of the 

new piano and violin albums but, nevertheless, all-round 

growth was evident worldwide with remarkable increases 

in Hong Kong and the USA. In the latter case, the first full 

year of distribution by C F Peters in New York clearly 

showed the benefits to both ABRSM and its customers of 

having an efficient, dedicated partner in such a large and 

important territory. During 2004, charitable donations of 

ABRSM publications were made to 46 beneficiaries in 

28 countries. 

At home, three members of staff gained the Graduate 

Certificate in Music Publishing from the London College of 

Communication after a year’s study supported by ABRSM 

Publishing. ABRSM Publishing also appointed its first 

Product Development Manager with a remit to develop 

innovative new products that will complement the output 

of exam-specific publications. Publishing marketing staff 

supported numerous UK seminars on new syllabuses and, 

underneath all this visible activity, the production team 

managed over 200 items of promotional literature and 

stationery. It was indeed a busy year! 

Administration 

The administrative departments of ABRSM had an equally 

busy time in 2004. Online entries continued to grow and 

now represent nearly 40% of all UK entries. In 2004, online 

entry procedures were also made available in Singapore 

and much of Malaysia and a Virtual Private Network was 

established between Singapore and London. 

Music Medals have been designed to be delivered to the 

greatest extent possible through online mechanisms. So, 

during the year, a comprehensive Music Medals system 



12 

was developed and installed, along with a registration 

system for Music Services and others who will use and 

administer these assessments. 

Other IT developments in the year included a database of 

statistical information required to meet our statutory 

obligations to provide government with exam results, and 

an interface for the keying-in of practical exam component 

marks, which will have important implications in our quality 

assurance work. 

In 2004 a comprehensive human resources audit was 

undertaken and its outcomes will be taken forward in the 

current year. 

Music Education 

Throughout 2004, I and my senior colleagues maintained 

our close connections with a range of outside 

organisations concerned with music education in the UK, 

most notably the Department for Education and Skills, the 

Qualifications and Curriculum Authority, the Music Education 

Council, the National Association of Music Educators, Youth 

Music, the Music Publishers Association, the Federation of 

Music Services and Music for Youth. We continue to 

provide substantial sponsorship support for the last two 

organisations on this list, which are both vital to the future 

well-being of music education in this country. 

The strong expressions of support from the government for 

music education, which I mentioned in last year’s review, 

were further endorsed in 2004 through the launch of the 

Music Manifesto in July by David Miliband MP and Estelle 

Morris MP. ABRSM was itself happy to sign up to this 

manifesto, whose very broad objectives are entirely in line 

with our charitable mission. 

Towards the end of the year the government’s goodwill 

was demonstrated in more tangible form through the 

announcement of an additional £30 million in 2007/08 to 

be ‘aimed primarily at giving every primary school pupil the 

opportunity to learn a musical instrument’. Although 

insufficient to meet this objective, this extra funding is most 

welcome news and gives an opportunity for Music Services 

REVIEW OF THE YEAR 

and others to demonstrate the added value that they can 

generate in terms of musical opportunities for young 

people. We can then hopefully look forward to an 

assurance from government that additional annual funding 

of at least this magnitude will be made available in 

subsequent years. 

It is also encouraging that one of the specific objectives of 

the Music Manifesto is ‘to develop a world-class workforce 

in music education’. At ABRSM we remain concerned that 

there is still no recognised pathway for instrumental 

teachers towards a status that is comparable with or 

related to Qualified Teacher Status. There is an urgent need 

for government agencies and employers to agree on a 

competency-based specification for the instrumental 

teacher, so that ABRSM and other awarding bodies can set 

about devising qualifications which will provide this 

enhanced status. 

Conclusion 

As is evident from this report, 2004 was a year in which 

ABRSM expanded strongly. I would like to pay particular 

tribute to the senior management team and all the staff at 

Portland Place for their dedicated efforts throughout 2004 

in both expanding our core operations and developing the 

new products and services which will benefit teachers and 

learners of music and will contribute to our future success. 

With 124 full time members of staff currently working at 

Portland Place, we try very hard to break down 

departmental barriers, recognising that all aspects of our 

work ultimately interrelate. I believe that this spirit of 

collaboration has been fundamental to the substantial 

progress made by ABRSM in recent years. 

This spirit, moreover, extends well beyond Portland Place to 

the large and growing teams of examiners, course leaders, 

mentors, HLRs, international representatives and 

consultants, on whom ABRSM depends for the delivery of 

all its products and services. In all, this wider team consists 

of nearly 1,500 people, and I would like to express my 

warmest thanks to each and every one of them for their 

contributions to the achievement of ABRSM’s charitable 

objectives over the past year.

musical life of his local community.
