What is the ABRSM exam?
ABRSM exams are music exams rather than instrumental or singing exams. Examiners assess the quality of the music-making, not how it's achieved. For this reason, we don't restrict examiners to assessing only their own instrument but require them to examine all instruments.
Who can take the ABRSM exam?
Candidates may be entered for an exam at any age. The candidate's date of birth must be stated on the online service at the time of making the booking. b. Candidates for practical exams at Grades Initial–5 and Music Theory exams at Grades 1–8 do not need to have taken any other graded exams.
Is ABRSM a professional qualification?
ABRSM This stands for the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music. It is not a qualification in itself, but an examination board. They provide a wide range of qualifications from beginners through to professional diplomas, both in performance, musical direction and teaching.
Which is better Trinity or ABRSM?
First of all, ABRSM is much bigger worldwide than Trinity College and by many it is considered better. Being bigger, it has more exam centres and so unless you live in a big city like London, you might find yourself having to travel a long way to take your exam.
