ABRSM

ABRSM is The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music and a global music education charity.  At the heart of everything we do is our belief that music enriches lives. Building on our heritage, we offer face-to-face and digital exams, sheet music, recordings, apps and courses for students and teachers across the world. In partnership with four Royal Schools of Music, we carry on a long legacy of musical excellence. We support learners from the first note they play, and empower teachers who help build musical skills and encourage progress around the world.  As a charity, we use all of the surpluses we generate to make significant donations towards music education initiatives and to develop our support for learners and teachers around the world. We advocate for music in its many forms, playing our part to ensure the future of music education and its place in society.

AQA 

Since 1903, we’ve been rewarding achievement by designing and delivering fair and inclusive assessment. We do this because quality assessment is an essential ingredient for a good education.

We have relevant and contemporary GCSE and A-level music qualifications that offer your learners the chance to study a wide range of musical genres and bring theory, listening, performance and composition to life in engaging ways.

We know that every learner has different learning styles and musical tastes, which is why our qualifications value all music styles, skills and instruments. You can find out more at aqa.org.uk/music

The Music Teachers’ Association is the largest and longest established association of music teachers in the UK, supporting all who are connected with a school music department. It is the Mission of the Music Teachers’ Association to provide first-class training, support and networking opportunities to all those who work in Music Education. Through our outstanding publications, Annual Conference and CPD programme, we inspire a membership which passionately believes that schools and their pupils’ lives are deeply enriched by a high quality music provision.
