About ABRSM
Who’s Who
Music is at the heart of our work. We are here to support
and encourage music learning throughout the world so
everyone can share in its power.
Patron
Her Majesty The Queen
We motivate musical achievement through our
authoritative assessment of students, the professional
development of their teachers and a wide range of
published resources. We also actively support music
education through funding and advocacy.
ABRSM is the leading authority on musical assessment.
By setting and delivering our exams rigorously and
consistently we set the worldwide gold standard, with over
600,000 people, in over 90 countries, choosing to take
them every year.
As part of our commitment to excellence in music
education, we provide a rich resource of materials, from
albums of repertoire for the earliest stages of learning to
scholarly editions of the great composers. Our online
presence includes SoundJunction, our award-winning site
for young people.
We know that good teachers endeavour to enhance their
professional skills. We support their continuing
professional development through our innovative
courses and online learning.
To build on 120 years of inspiring generations of
musicians, we provide charitable donations, scholarships
and sponsorship, as well as acting as an advocate for
music education. We do all we can to give music a voice
in public life because we believe it has the power to
change people’s lives.

Chairman’s Statement
ABRSM is distinctive and indeed unique. It is very difficult to identify any other
institution which is quite like it.
The whole organisation and those who work in it declare a set of values which
inform and structure all that happens within it. These values start with a
commitment to the importance of music in our culture. That leads inevitably to
giving high priority to excellence in music performance. The primary
responsibility of ABRSM is in evaluating or examining the level of performance,
but as a thoughtful organisation, we also provide support to teachers and pupils
through our immensely successful publications, innovations such as
SoundJunction and various forms of training packages.
The values represented by dedication to music and especially to musical
performance must therefore be complemented by those which underwrite an
organisation which depends upon the shared vision and professionalism of a very
wide range of colleagues – both in ‘head office’, in local representative capacities,
in publishing, and in the core business of examining and teaching.
I think that I am justified in claiming that there is here a unique blend of value, skill and professionalism! To go
further, I believe it appropriate and realistic in the light of performance, for ABRSM to continue to aspire to set
international gold standards in its core activities. That this is realistic is to be seen in the current success of its overseas
as well as its UK-based examining portfolio.
Other sectors involved in public examining have shown how delicate is the balance in maintaining consistency of
standards against volume of activity, and sadly how small the margin is between success and failure. I have spent part
of the year reviewing the difficulties experienced by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority in delivering
national SATS results to schools. It has brought home to me very forcibly how easy it is to lose control of a process
which involves assessment of large numbers of pupils to a common high standard. It is never wise to be complacent,
but I reflect with admiration on the continuing success of ABRSM to maintain standards and consistency in
examining on a world-wide basis. Those who examine and those who administer the process are to be warmly
congratulated.
The point here is that the excellences within the organisation, and the values on which they are based can never be
taken for granted. Vision must always be allied to attention to detail, and thorough professionalism. Happily, this has
been the continuing experience to date, and I admire the (often hidden) efforts which colleagues make to ensure
that we continue in this vein.

Chief Executive’s Review
Performance over the past year
The past year was one in which we focussed strongly on
our core examination activities, while laying firm
foundations for the future.
The central feature was the issue of a new Piano syllabus,
which included a broader approach to repertoire and
substantial revisions to supporting tests. This new syllabus
was complemented by an extensive range of new
publications, which generated exceptionally high sales
volumes. In addition, new syllabuses and publications
were issued for both Guitar and Singing. Entries for our
Singing exams have grown consistently over 20 years and
we anticipate that the superb new series of ABRSM
Songbooks will give yet further impetus to this excellent
trend. The launch of these syllabuses was supported
during 2008 by a full set of seminars and professional
development programmes, both in the UK and overseas,
designed to introduce teachers to the changes and to the
new materials.

It was especially gratifying that, during 2008, the albums
of pieces for violin, flute and clarinet, published in the
previous year, continued to sell extremely well. Attention
was also given to Theory exams with the launch of revised
and re-presented versions of Music Theory in Practice for
Grades 1 to 5.
ABRSM examiners maintained our reputation for the
highest levels of professionalism and consistency
throughout the year. This was enhanced by online
developments, which provided new professional
development opportunities for examiners, including
marking exercises and a series of presentations on
specific instruments. It was also pleasing that the level of
appeals against examiners’ decisions was at a record low.
Over 50% of our income is now derived from overseas
activities. In 2008 exams were held for the first time in
Vietnam, and we are planning to offer exams in Shanghai
in the current year. In contrast, I was delighted to attend
celebrations to mark the 100th anniversary of ABRSM
exams in Jamaica. We will maintain our policy of offering
to conduct exams anywhere in the world where there is
viable demand.
During 2008 we provided many professional development
opportunities for teachers, through both formal courses
and presentations by examiners and mentors. 2008 also
saw the launch of our renowned Certificate of Teaching
course in Indonesia. We are planning in the current year
to further extend our professional development work in
the UK and overseas via new interactive online courses
for teachers.
Building for the future
Over the past year we concluded our lengthy market
research and brand review, which has created a blueprint
for ABRSM strategy over coming years. The research
results demonstrated that our stakeholders want ABRSM
6
n
to be a ‘one-stop shop’ for their music education needs.
As a direct response, we have taken action to achieve the
maximum integration of our operations. Following on
from the earlier co-ordination of syllabus and publishing
planning, we have now established a single Marketing
Department to manage our relations with all those who
use our diverse services and products. We are
communicating this new approach by adopting the single
name ABRSM, in place of the multiple names by which
we have been known in different parts of our operations
and in different parts of the world. This is encapsulated
in our new logo, which symbolises both our musical
mission and royal connections.
“The past year was one in
which we focussed strongly
on our core examination
activities, while laying firm
foundations for the future.”
This strategy was also reflected in infrastructure
developments in 2008. ABRSM websites now provide a
wealth of resources for our online audiences around the
world, including specialist areas within www.abrsm.org for
individual countries in which we operate. Furthermore,
in 2008 we entered the world of podcasts creating
programmes to support the new 2009 syllabuses. At a
more technical level, we conducted a successful pilot for
the online marking of theory papers, which will be taken
forward in 2009. There have also been significant
improvements to communications through an upgraded
telephone system and the online display of candidate
appointments for applicants in Malaysia and the UK.

education.”
The bigger picture
During 2008 there were a number of UK governmentbacked initiatives, which successfully introduced very
many young people to music, both in the classroom and
outside. The Wider Opportunities programme opened
up instrumental learning to whole classes of children at
Key Stage 2, while Sing Up! worked towards its objective of
making every primary school into a ‘singing school’.
We maintained our dialogue with the government and
many music organisations both to offer support and to
encourage provision of sustained, progressive music
education for those young people who demonstrate the
wish or talent to continue with their music making
beyond these initial experiences. Our own Music Medals,
which were extended in 2008 to include keyboards,
continue to make an important contribution.
Nonetheless, a recent report from Ofsted on music in
schools is extremely timely in emphasizing the extent of
this challenge.
extraordinary collapse in the value of sterling, after so
many years of slow growth, will produce net benefits from
our extensive international operations. We can therefore
look forward to the future with reasonable confidence.
All of this is, however, dependent on the remarkable level
of commitment to our work shown by the entire ABRSM
team, whether staff at Portland Place, representatives
dispersed across the UK and the world or the examiners
and mentors who travel endlessly and untiringly in
delivering ABRSM services. I pay the greatest tribute to all
these people, whose work seems even more important at
times like these, when the material world is undergoing
so much stress and readjustment.
During 2008 we maintained our position as the UK’s
largest private benefactor of music education, primarily
through our ongoing scholarships and support for four
Royal Schools of Music. Sponsorship continued for both
Music for Youth and the Federation of Music Services. In
the latter instance, we will also be providing consultancy
services in the field of professional development.
2009 marks the 120th anniversary of the founding of
ABRSM and we will be celebrating this in numerous ways
including a gala concert, a competition for young
composers and four international conferences. Although
there is no room for complacency, ABRSM is well placed
to thrive even in the exceptionally adverse economic
conditions permeating the outside world. It is a gratifying
and uplifting fact that parents seem to make all sorts of
economies before deciding to cut back on their
children’s musical education. Furthermore the

Exams and Assessments
Syllabus Review
New for 2008
We issued new syllabuses in 2008 for Guitar, Piano,
Singing and Harpsichord. For each subject the repertoire
was completely refreshed, and in the case of Guitar and
Piano we revised both the scales and sight-reading, in the
light of feedback from teachers and examiners. We also
established a new approach to sight-singing.
In the Piano syllabus we took a fresh look at repertoire
selection. For the first time we included arrangements
and we also extended the possibilities at Grade 8 with the
inclusion of classical movements in forms other than
sonata form in List B. To support the new repertoire lists
we published a wide range of material.
We started work on the preparation of syllabuses for
publication in 2009, including Cello, Double Bass,
Trumpet, Cornet, Flugelhorn, Trombone and Bass
Trombone, the next Piano syllabus (2011-12) and a
review of the Organ syllabus.

Strings review
An expert panel reviewed all aspects of our Bowed Strings
syllabuses. We established new parameters for sightreading and commissioned a set of tests for a pilot project
that was sent to a cross-section of teachers in December
2008. The panel also looked at scales, considering all
issues of parity and progression between the instruments
to ensure a consistent and coherent approach.
Drum Kit pilot
In November we began a pilot for a Drum Kit syllabus.
Throughout the research phase the emphasis was on the
development of real world performance skills, with the
assessment process focusing on four areas: tunes, studies,
guide charts and aural tests. We selected the tunes from
the repertoire of popular music and the pilot pack
contained band recordings as well as a set of minus-one
backing tracks. We hope that Drum Kit exams will form
part of a Popular Music syllabus in due course.

Customer service
A total of 333,657 candidates took an exam in the UK
and Ireland, ranging from absolute beginners who
gained a Music Medal to more advanced students who sat
a Diploma. Most candidates, however, took graded exams,
with Grades 1 to 5 being the most popular.
“It makes a huge difference
having friendly, helpful and
flexible people on the other
end of the line”
Our aspiration during the year was to support candidates by
UK applicant
offering first class customer service and operating to high
professional standards in all areas. Staff aimed to make
teamwork, collaboration, good practice and openness the
guiding principles in all activities.
Collaborating with volunteers
Most candidates took their exam at one of our 300 plus
Customer research and consultation helped us to identify
ABRSM Centres. These centres are overseen by our
areas for development, such as reducing waiting times for
network of Honorary Local Representatives, volunteers

role to play in organising High Scorers’ Concerts. In 2008
we held 18 of these very special events which celebrate
the achievements of candidates in graded exams.
“Offering good customer
service is immensely satisfying.”

The online experience
We introduced new features to our online services,
making each applicant’s online account a hub of essential
and practical information throughout the exam process.
The year’s most significant development was to put in
place the facility to view appointments online, the final
stepping-stone in the five-stage sequence that provides
online support from start to finish:
• Pre-entry information and guidance
• Entry
• Appointment and venue details
• Confirmation of results
• Results archive
This local element, together with the personal touch
given by HLRs, proved to be one of our great strengths.
Our 2008 regional HLR seminars gave these volunteers a
chance to gather in small groups to update each other,
share expertise and ideas, and contribute to future plans.
Supporting examiners
On the day of the exam our priority is to give every
candidate a positive experience, using three-way
collaboration between the examiner, the HLR and staff at
ABRSM. In 2008 more than 600 examiners visited the
many different places where candidates took exams, not
just ABRSM centres but schools, homes and teaching
studios, around the UK and Ireland. Life on the road can
be arduous for our examiners and the care and sensitivity
shown to each candidate is just one part of their
demanding role, so we make every effort to provide them
with the support they need.

In 2008 we conducted more than 289,000 exams outside
the UK and Ireland representing almost 8% growth over
the last five years. To administer these exams, 232
examiners undertook a total of 395 examining tours.
There was significant growth in Dubai, Portugal, Turkey,
Singapore and South Korea, and candidate numbers
continued to hold steady in Hong Kong and Malaysia.
New centres
For the first time we held exams in Vietnam, and in
December the Shanghai Provincial Government gave
permission for a trial period of exams in the Oriental
International Cultural Service Centre of Shanghai
Waigoaqiap Trade Zone. This exam session is open to
non-Chinese passport holders, Chinese passport holders
living outside China and Chinese passport holders
planning to study overseas and represents a highly
significant development for the region.
Working practice
During the year we reviewed two key areas of our
international operations. First, we developed a new suite
of presentations, incorporating filmed and live sample
exam performances, for use by examiners in teacher
workshops. Secondly, we conducted a year-long review of
our worldwide representation which has resulted in an
exciting new set of support systems and materials for use
by our Representatives.
Representative news
During 2008 new Representatives were appointed in
Andorra, Australia, Bermuda, France, India, Italy,
Jamaica, Macau, South Africa, Spain, the United Arab
Emirates and the USA.
We held two highly successful conferences for
Representatives in Australia and India, plus the now
regular bi-annual conferences for Honorary Local
Representatives in New Zealand. We were also busy

preparing for four conferences taking place in 2009,
which will provide opportunities for International
Representatives to meet many members of staff and to
celebrate our 120th anniversary.
Something to celebrate
2008 was significant for the 100th anniversary of exams in
Jamaica. Through the excellent support of Marie Clarke
(successor to Maurice Gordon, who died tragically in
August 2007) as Representative, an impressive series of
events were staged, including a High Scorers’ Concert
attended by our Chief Executive, Richard Morris. We
were also delighted and proud that the Jamaica Post
Office minted a special centenary stamp.
We held celebratory Diploma Award Ceremonies in
Indonesia and Hong Kong for successful candidates in
the relevant regions, and candidates at all levels gathered
to share their musical talents at 20 High Scorers’
Concerts around the world.
Staying in touch
To ensure that we provide the best support for teachers,
students, Representatives and examiners, ABRSM staff
travelled extensively during the year meeting members of
our worldwide community. Visits were made to Cyprus,
Germany, Gibraltar, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Italy,
Jamaica, Macau, Malaysia, New Zealand, Poland, Spain,
Singapore, Sri Lanka, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand,
Turkey and Vietnam.

Online Resources
The ABRSM websites provide a suite of popular and
convenient resources for our online audience throughout
the world. Some of the many features include interactive
music learning tools, online entry facilities, syllabus
downloads, an online publications shop and forums. In
2008 www.abrsm.org alone enjoyed 1,362,112 visits from
over 590,000 visitors.
We continued to develop our online presence and
strategies in response to new technologies and
12
n
innovations and are extremely enthusiastic about
harnessing their potential for the benefit of our users.
Podcasts
In June and July of 2008 we recorded and released a
successful first series of podcasts in liaison with Classic
Arts, one of Britain’s leading radio and audio production
companies. BBC Radio 3’s Classical Collection host, pianist
and composer Sarah Walker, lent her considerable
expertise as presenter.

Tim Arnold, International Operations Director
The three programmes explored our new syllabuses for
2009 – Piano, Guitar and Singing – and featured
engaging interviews with our Syllabus Director, Nigel
Scaife, and syllabus seminar presenters Anthony Williams,
Richard Storry and Eileen Field. Accompanying
performances by Anthony and Richard, a piano sightreading test featuring Sarah Walker herself and a sightsinging assessment undertaken by brave ABRSM Sales &
Marketing Assistant Rylan Holey helped bring the new
requirements to life.
Over 8,000 listeners enjoyed the initial podcast series,
which achieved a fourth place ranking in the education
category of the iTunes Store and was featured in the
attached ‘New and Notable’ listings for three weeks.
Building on this success, we commissioned and recorded
a further three programmes for release in February 2009.
These focussed on the range of qualities required to
become an ABRSM examiner, our suite of Diplomas and
the process involved in creating a syllabus.
Sarah Walker returned to present and Chief Examiner
Clara Taylor and Syllabus Manager Robert Sargant made
their podcasting debuts in this series, which can now be
downloaded in its entirety from www.abrsm.org.
SoundJunction
In 2008 SoundJunction, our interactive and groundbreaking online music learning resource, achieved a
second consecutive nomination for a Webby Award in the
Education category. The latest nomination follows
prestigious BIMA, Music Industry Association, BETT, New
Media Age and E-Learning accolades in recent years.
SoundJunction continued to extend technological
boundaries through its unique and immersive
composition, remixing and sound exploring tools and
myriad of accompanying resources and videos.
New international pages
In September and October we released revamped minisites for all countries in which we operate. The aim here
was to provide easily accessible, localised and, where
possible, fully translated information to visitors
throughout the world. We now offer key website content
in Chinese, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Serbian,
Spanish and Turkish.
The new mini-sites give teachers and candidates access
to downloadable resources, local news features and
details of forthcoming courses, concerts, and events
in each region.

Professional Development
Core courses
Demand for professional development has continued to
grow. Our Certificate of Teaching (CT ABRSM) course
remains popular with UK and Hong Kong teachers, and
in 2008 we launched the course in Indonesia with a small
and very enthusiastic group of teachers.
We also continued to provide a range of additional
professional development opportunities for teachers at
various stages in their careers. We held six Introduction
to Instrumental and Vocal Teaching days in the UK and
Indonesia, whilst teachers in the UK benefited from our
three-month Teaching Music Effectively course that
combines study days with a distance learning module.
“The jazz course
was very informative,
great fun and inspiring!”
From 2008, teachers on the CT ABRSM and Teaching
Music Effectively courses have had access to a range of
online resources and materials via a virtual learning
environment. This has also allowed teachers, Course
Leaders and mentors to contribute to intra-group
discussion through dedicated discussion forums, and is
paving the way for the introduction of our new online
courses in 2009.
Supporting the syllabuses
Our annual autumn seminars in the UK explored the
new syllabuses for Piano, Guitar and Singing. These
one-day events are always popular and this year they were
attended by over 1,500 teachers, with two additional
seminars arranged to cope with the high demand.
For those interested in teaching jazz we ran four courses

intermediate course. Led by a team of experienced jazz
musicians and educators, these unique courses gave more
than 160 teachers the opportunity to take and pass their
first jazz exam, with over 70% of participants gaining a
distinction.
During 2008 this featured seminars and masterclasses
presented by our Chief Examiner, Clara Taylor, and
Director of Professional Development, Richard Crozier,
in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, and a series of
seminars on the new Piano syllabus in Indonesia, Malaysia
and Singapore.
Around the world
Our Centenary Travel Grant fund supported seminars for
teachers in both Spain and Turkey and we put in place
plans for similar events in India and the West Indies
during 2009. Meanwhile, more than 2,000 teachers took
part in our Professional Development Programme.
We also spent time in 2008 providing continuing
professional development for members of our
professional development and presenter panels, ensuring
that all those involved in delivering our wide range of
seminars, workshops and courses can do so with complete
confidence.

Obituaries
David Cooper
David had a long association with
Blackburn Cathedral and worked as
an examiner for some 28 years. He
was a member of the Moderators'
panel for much of this time and, in
the latter part of his examining
career, also became increasingly
involved with theory examining. He
maintained links with Portland
Place despite moving to Hong
Kong and continued to be involved
in the work of ABRSM until his
death in the summer of 2008.

musical life to the Norfolk area
and had long associations with
both Norwich High School for
Girls and the University of East
Anglia. Valerie was a member of
the graded examining panel for
12 years and, despite problems
with her health in recent times,
maintained both her cheerfulness
and her work for ABRSM until her
death in December of 2008.
