Grade 8 ABRSM Music Theory
Grade 8 is the final graded exam available from the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM). This advanced level exam is an enjoyable challenge for most students.
How hard is Abrsm grade 8?
Grade 8 ABRSM is not all that difficult, and yet people do struggle with it. The actual performance level is not that high in terms of the pieces, but you have to be secure in all of your scale work, arpeggios, and that takes a bit of time to learn if you're not used to doing it all the time.
