Copyright

The Copyright (Visually Impaired Persons) Act 2002 provides an exception for making individual copies of printed material for the benefit of visually impaired people, where such copies are not commercially available. Authorized photocopies of ABRSM works are available in standardized large print format from Allegro Music. These will meet the needs of many visually impaired candidates, but, if not, individual large print copies may be made without application to ABRSM. It is your responsibility to contact the publisher to check whether suitable large print copies of any other copyright work are available. Only where such copies are not available may an individual large print copy be made. Any copy made under this exception must include certain information. For details visit the exams section of the website.

Organizations wishing to make two or more large print or otherwise accessible copies (e.g. Braille) should contact the Music Publishers Association for details of the MPA’s VIP Licensing Scheme.
