Exam discount scheme
Exam discount scheme for UK Music Services
In November 2022 we launched a pilot exam discount scheme to help alleviate some of the financial barriers that families may face when accessing exams. This is part of our work in becoming an increasingly open, accessible and inclusive organisation and is a key focus within our Diversity & Inclusion Plan.
The scheme is being administered for us by Music Mark, the UK’s subject association for music education. Discounts are available through music services in the England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands. Only music services can apply for and use the discounts.
Music services can use the discounts to support learners for whom the cost of exams represents a significant financial barrier.
Discounts can be used for the following exams:
- Instrumental & Singing
- Prep Test, Practical Grades (Initial to Grade 8), ARSM diploma and Performance Assessment
- Performance Grades (Initial to Grade 8)
- Practical Musicianship, Jazz and Music Medals
- Music Theory
- Online Music Theory (Grades 1 to 5)
- Music Theory (Grades 6 to 8)
More information is available on the Music Mark website.
