About ABRSM
Globally Renowned Exams and Assessments
The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music, or ABRSM, is the UK's largest music education body and the world's leading provider of music exams, holding over 650,000 assessments in more than 90 countries every year. As a registered charity, ABRSM also makes significant donations towards music education initiatives around the world.
Founded in 1889, ABRSM has a long and storied history. But its mission has stayed the same: to nurture a love for music, and to inspire achievement in it. At ABRSM, they believe that everyone, wherever they're from, should have access to high-quality music-learning. In partnership with four Royal Schools of Music, ABRSM supports music-making and learning across the globe and here in Canada.
ABRSM's core activity is providing graded music exams, assessments and diplomas. An ABRSM grade has a worldwide currency and our exams are designed to motivate learners at all levels and ages, providing realistic goals and tangible rewards for their achievements.
