Each year, over 6,30,000 candidates take their exams in more than 90 countries.
Their mission is to inspire achievement in music. They do this by supporting music making, teaching and learning in partnership with four Royal Schools of Music – Royal Academy of Music; Royal College of Music; Royal Northern College of Music and Drama and Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.

Sonia Khan, the ABRSM Representative, adds, “Those who appear for the world renowned ABRSM exams benefit immensely. These internationally recognised assessments provide an edge as universities/corporates understand the benefits of quality music education and look for an ABRSM certification due to the gold standards that are maintained while admission or hiring. We are very grateful to the various institutions, directors and principals who have introduced the ABRSM curriculum to their students. We take this opportunity to thank the management of our partner schools and colleges in Mussoorie and Dehradun – the Woodstock School, Mussoorie; New Theological College, Dehradun, and Wynberg Allen School, Mussoorie. Especially our local representatives Ravi Arthur and Dr Jacob Joseph for spreading world class music education through the ABRSM curriculum. We are eagerly looking forward to the ABRSM High Scorers’ Concert on 20 February as it is an important part of the ABRSM calendar and we want everyone to come away from this special event with happy and inspiring memories.”
