Music exam board ABRSM has announced the pilot of a discount scheme that will enable students facing ‘significant financial barriers’ to take instrumental and vocal exams at a lower cost.
The scheme will be operated by subject association Music Mark, who will allocate exam discounts to music services. During the pilot, which runs from now until July 2024, the allocation will be calculated according to published school roll numbers with adjustments for deprivation.
Exams included in the scheme are Instrumental & Singing: Prep Test, Practical Grades (Initial to Grade 8), Performance Grades (Initial to Grade 8), ARSM diploma and Performance Assessment; Music Theory: Grades 1 to 5 (online) and Grades 6 to 8 (paper-based).
