Who is ABRSM?

Established in 1889, ABRSM is passionate about music and music education. 

ABRSM’s mission is to inspire musical achievement. It does this by supporting music teaching and learning around the world in partnership with four Royal Schools of Music: the Royal Academy of Music, Royal College of Music, Royal Northern College of Music, and Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.

ABRSM is an advocate for music education. It provides assessments, resources and services to support teachers and learners – and in line with its charitable aims, sponsors a wide variety of music education organisations.

These range from leading youth orchestras and choirs to smaller specialist organisations that support a diverse range of learners.
