Is LCM harder than ABRSM?
The pieces for LCM are generally very similar in standard- often you find the same pieces in both, but generally LCM is a bit harder, I think. For example, one of their current G3 pieces was in ABRSM G5 not very long ago.
Which music exam board is the best?
ABRSM provides internationally respected music assessments for learners of all ages and levels of attainment. Each year 700 examiners deliver over 600,000 assessments in more than 90 countries. As a regulated awarding organisation ABRSM assessments are valued and trusted measures of musical progress.
Is Trinity or ABRSM better?
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.
Are Trinity exams as good as ABRSM?
ABRSM and Trinity grades are accredited at the same level. The UK qualifications regulator, OFQUAL monitors the standards of all exam bodies in the country. Each exam is given an RQF (regulated qualifications framework) level, so that exams may be compared across different boards, and even across different disciplines.
