Welcome to ABRSM
Music is at the heart of our work
We are here to support and encourage music learning throughout the world so that everyone can share in its power.
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.
Delivering authoritative assessments
ABRSM is the leading authority on musical assessment. 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.
Providing publications and courses
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.
Encouraging music education
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.
ABRSM benefits from links with four leading UK conservatoires:
