Youth Advisory Board

Are you aged 10 to 25 with a passion for music?  

Have you ever wondered how we select music for our exam syllabuses? Or why scales and sight-reading are part of the Practical Grades but not the Performance Grades?

Maybe you have some feedback or new ideas you’d like to share with us. Or perhaps you’ve never taken a music exam or even heard of ABRSM but would like to connect with other young musicians who share your musical passion.  

If any of this grabs your attention, we’d love you to think about joining our UK Youth Advisory Board. To provide a taste of what’s involved we’re running an introductory webinar on Thursday 9 May. 

The Youth Advisory Board plays a central role in shaping our work 

As a member you’ll get involved with conversations about exams and wider activities, including our work in the community. There are some great perks too. You’ll meet other young musicians, contribute to the direction of a global music organisation, enhance your skills, experience and CV, and get some cool ABRSM stuff and discounts!  

There are three Youth Advisory Board groups 

 - Juniors – ages 10 to 13 

 - Seniors – ages 14 to 17 

 - Young Adults – ages 18 to 25
