ABRSM Exam 

Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music



As the world leader in its field, the Associated Board currently conducts over 600,000 music exams each year in more than 90 different countries.



The ABRSM provides an independent grading system for the aspiring musician looking for a standard to compare to. For parents and teachers, it is a system that can be utilized to show areas of improvement and merit. For candidates, it provides for a certificate and/or a degree that can be used anywhere to provide verification of musicianship. This alone, sets apart ABRSM from all other testing standards because it is the largest and most well-known music examining board in the world. 



As one of the largest music boards in the world, it offers greater advantages over other music exam boards, such as credits for university students. Steps are now being taken to further implement the ABRSM examinations into the collegiate system after Lipscomb University became the first university to require music majors to sit for the ABRSM examinations.

NYSSMA Exam 

New York State School Music Assosiation 

 

NYSSMA is a professional organization that evaluates student musicians in New York state from elementary school to high school.

Each spring, thousands of students* register through their school's music programs to attend NYSSMA Evaluation Festivals where they are adjudicated. These festivals take place at local middle and high schools within the fifteen NYSSMA zones, each of which covers an area in New York State. Usually, county high schools take turns hosting the festival every few years.



At each festival, students perform scales, a solo or ensemble piece of their choice from the designated NYSSMA repertoire, and a sight reading piece. The judges score and comment on the students' performances according to defined guidelines set by NYSSMA. The grade sheets are then certified and sent to the music departments at the individual schools to be distributed to the students.



Instruments evaluated include voice, piano, strings, woodwinds/brasses, and percussion.
