About the
Associated Board
Who’s Who
The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music is a
charitable company established for the benefit of music
education by four Royal Schools of Music in the UK:
Patron
Her Majesty The Queen
Royal Academy of Music
Royal College of Music
Royal Northern College of Music
Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama
The Associated Board’s core activity is the operation of an
authoritative and internationally recognized system of
exams and assessments to encourage and motivate players
and singers at all levels through the provision of goals and
the measurement of progress.
As the world leader in its field, the Associated Board
conducts over 600,000 music exams each year in more
than 90 countries.
ABRSM Publishing is one of the UK’s leading music
publishers, whose publications support the exams, provide
additional repertoire and contribute to music education.
The Associated Board also provides professional
development services for instrumental and singing teachers
through its widely acclaimed Certificate of Teaching (CT
ABRSM) course and a range of other courses, seminars
and workshops.
Our principal objective is to maintain and develop the
services and products that we provide to music teachers
and students to the highest standards. We also seek to play
a significant role in influencing political debate in favour of
music education.

Chief Executive’s
Review
After many years of sustained growth, candidate numbers
were slightly below the all-time high in 2007 due to some
weakness, including demographic trends, in the UK
market. Internationally, we emerged a shade ahead of the
record number of entries in the previous year. Within these
overall results, both theory entries (around 145,000) and
entries for Associated Board diplomas (now over 3,000)
achieved useful growth. Sales of publications came in at
just over £5 million in a marketplace experiencing both
concentration and contraction.
learners of music. In April, in anticipation of the
retirement of Philip Mundey, Director of Examinations,
who had given outstanding service to the Associated
Board over 20 years, we carried out a significant
reorganization designed to further integrate all these
services. Leslie East took on a new role at Executive
Director level to oversee all Syllabus and Publishing
activity, and Clara Taylor, Chief Examiner, assumed
additional responsibility for Quality Assurance and
Examiner Panel administration. Along with Clara Taylor,

Developing the syllabus
In July we published Selected Violin Exam Pieces, together
with CDs and volumes of scales and arpeggios, in
anticipation of the new Violin Syllabus 2008-2011. Then,
in September, we launched for the first time Selected
Exam Pieces for both flute and clarinet. Although this
caused some disturbance within the music publishing
world, we are sure that over time these volumes will not
only increase access to Associated Board exams but will
encourage more sustained learning of these instruments
worldwide. The publishing year culminated in December
with an outstanding launch at the Wigmore Hall of Barry
Cooper’s new edition of the Beethoven: The 35 Piano
Sonatas, the outcome of 12 years’ painstaking and original
research.
Following on behind these new issues, research and
development work was completed during the year on new
syllabuses for piano, guitar and singing, including
significant revisions to the supporting tests within each.
New exam publications for these subjects will be launched
in July this year with the syllabuses taking effect from
2009. Work progressed on a range of other syllabus
developments, including Music Medals for electronic
keyboard and initial ideas for popular music, which we
expect to pilot in 2008-2009.
Supporting teachers and learners
SoundJunction, the Associated Board’s online learning
resource, continued on its way, being nominated for the
international Webby Awards and creating new tools to
support music teaching and learning. Further online
support was provided in the Music Medals programme,
which is accessed by over 120 Music Services across the
country and is now available also to schools. Any teacher
connected to these educational institutions may undertake
assessment training online. Alongside these developments,
the Associated Board’s website continues to provide the
UK’s principal online forum for the sharing of views on
music education, with the number of visits currently
running at over 100,000 per month.

Ninety-two teachers completed the CT ABRSM course in
2007, and our professional development programmes,
shorter courses and seminars all flourished across the UK
and South East Asia. Particular emphasis was given to
presentation of the new syllabuses for violin, clarinet and
flute, as well as to our introductory courses for jazz. We
also agreed enhanced sponsorship for the Federation of
Music Services, specifically linked to the delivery of
professional development courses in 2008 and beyond.
“…the Associated Board
pursued its mission of
ensuring excellence in its
core assessment work, whilst
enhancing its services to
support teachers and
learners of music.”
International focus
Despite global instability in political, economic and
environmental terms, the Associated Board continued to
expand its international operations, notably in South East
Asia and Europe. Entries grew strongly in Singapore,
Thailand and Indonesia, with both China and India displaying
their future potential. I was privileged to attend – along with
nearly 2,000 others – our silver anniversary celebrations in
Bangkok, while later in Jakarta our 30th anniversary was
marked by a superb concert and the launch of our course
Teaching Music Effectively for the first time outside the UK.
The Associated Board’s work is growing strongly from a
relatively low base in Italy, France, Germany and Turkey. It
was a particular pleasure for me to visit Turkey to celebrate
our excellent progress there over the past 15 years. The

and quality of the
Associated Board’s
work as delivered
by examiners,
mentors and
representatives
continue to be
held in the
highest regard.”

Centenary Travel Grant seminars in Madrid
Associated Board’s presence across Europe was given
further impetus by a lively and mutually supportive
conference of European representatives held in Frankfurt in
May. Altogether, we examined in 87 countries overseas and
our Portland Place staff visited 20 of them during the year.
Looking outwards
In November the UK government announced a new threeyear package for music education, which consolidated
former initiatives and set challenging national ambitions for
instrumental and vocal tuition in the future. Given the
Associated Board’s advocacy for sustained, progressive
tuition, we particularly welcomed the ambition that at least
50% of Key Stage 2 pupils should continue to learn and
participate in music after completion of a first year of free
tuition. We are now in discussion with the Department for
Children, Schools and Families to explore ways in which
the Associated Board can contribute to the attainment of
these ambitions.
“...the Associated Board’s
website continues to provide
the UK’s principal
online forum for the sharing
of views on music education,
with the number of visits
currently running at
over 100,000 per month.”
In view of this, it was particularly timely that the
Associated Board should have embarked on a
comprehensive brand review in 2007. This involved
thorough consultation with all our stakeholders, both
internal and external, about their perceptions of all
aspects of our mission. We are currently hard at work
with our expert consultants in evaluating the outcomes
and in implementing change where necessary. I am
hopeful that readers of this annual review will benefit
from improved communications with the Associated
Board as a result of this work.
Reverting to our stakeholders, I would like to express my
warmest admiration for all their contributions to the
Associated Board over the past year. A very special
mention must be made of the work of our Chief Examiner
and the panel of moderators and trainers, who bear the
prime responsibility for ensuring the quality and
consistency of our examining across so many levels,
subject areas and territories. It is already apparent from
the response to the brand review that the integrity and
quality of the Associated Board’s work as delivered by
examiners, mentors and representatives continue to be
held in the highest regard.
On behalf of the Associated Board, I pay tribute to the
Royal Schools of Music and their representatives on our
governing body and its
committees for their
unswerving support.
Finally, I offer my
warmest thanks to all
my colleagues at
Portland Place. In a
year during which the
BBC has been noisily
demolishing itself next
door, our staff have
continued to give total
commitment to the
achievement of the
Associated Board’s
objectives.

Message from
the Chairman
It has been a pleasure to share with colleagues in the vigorous and targeted efforts of
the past year’s work and progress.
The strength and success of an organization such as the Associated Board depends
upon three things. The first is a clear set of objectives. The second is its capacity to
adapt to the changing environment which it inhabits. The third is the quality and
commitment of those who work to give these objectives their practical expression.
The Associated Board is well positioned on all three counts.
The objectives are clear: to promote excellence in the performance and appreciation
of music in this country and far beyond. The means to do this are in place and
functioning very well indeed. The primary elements are examining to the highest
standards and publishing and providing courses to support the learning and teaching
which makes individual success in this possible. On all these counts we have had a
good year.
The environment in which we live does change and the Chief Executive and his
colleagues are clearly taking full measure of the implications of this. Two points merit
special mention. The first is the importance which they rightly attach to the UK
Government’s new commitment to music education in schools. We wish this initiative
well and stand ready to contribute our own distinctive experience of
the importance of excellence to its development. This is one
example of the recognition of the importance of music education.
Secondly, our international contacts indicate that this recognition is
shared in many other countries. The importance of this
international perspective continues to be well understood in the
Associated Board.
Of course any organization is as good as those who work in it. The
Associated Board is fortunate in its staff and their cumulative
experience. This has allowed a very effective re-shaping of the
senior directorate to take place without loss of pace and
momentum. In this our Chief Executive and his team are to be
congratulated and I wish well for the year to come all those who
have assumed significant new responsibilities.

INTERNATIONAL ACTIVITY
During 2007, over 289,000 exams were
conducted in international centres around
the world, representing a consistent further
2% growth from 2006 and over 26% since
2000. As in the previous year, almost a
third were theory exams, with the
remaining figure comprising diplomas (just
under 2,000), practical graded and jazz
exams. Administering these exams involved
the participation of 236 examiners and the
organization of 397 examining tours.
• over 289,000 exams were

Online developments
The greatest change to the work of the
International Department this year was the
implementation of a new online briefing
system which provides examiners with easy
access to comprehensive information
relating to exam tours, ensuring that tours
run as smoothly as possible. The initiative
has been a great success: feedback from
examiners has been overwhelmingly positive
and the system has also resulted in the
reduction of administrative costs. In
another online initiative, online entries for
Malaysia continued to increase throughout
the year, reaching a total of 78%, and
almost half of Singapore entries were also
made online. Additionally, IT systems were
established in Indonesia to achieve linked
processing of entries. Overall, the time
taken to dispatch theory exam results was
also reduced.
In translation
The translation of promotional and exam
support literature continued in 2007, with
an increased number of resources being
made available online to assist and inform
teachers in their native languages.

representatives, exams were reintroduced in
Sierra Leone and Nigeria (theory only), and
for the first time ever, both practical and

Development of online resources continued to go from
strength-to-strength during 2007 in response to growing
customer demand for email correspondence and to have
more products and services delivered online.
DISCUSSION FORUMS
The Associated Board discussion forums continued to grow
in popularity with 9,000 registered users logging on
worldwide to ask questions, share views and debate a wide
variety of music and education issues. In 2007, our forum
members started around 650 new topics each month and
these provoked approximately 17,000 responses per month
from other members. In total, forum visitors made over
200,000 postings last year and viewed over five and a half
million threads during their visits.
• over 200,000 postings were made
on Associated Board forums
To answer some of the more common questions relating to
Associated Board exams, syllabuses and general teaching
and learning issues, Chief Examiner Clara Taylor has now
started a regular ‘Ask the Chief Examiner’ slot on our
forums. Members can post their queries in a dedicated
discussion thread; once a month, Clara will log on and
address the key issues raised.
As online friendships continued to flourish, we were
delighted to see an increase in the number of informal
get-togethers organised by forums members throughout
the UK. Over 16 such events took place in 2007, ranging
from forum members’ concerts and ‘play days’ –
developed to offer members the opportunity to perform
in front of a supportive audience – and even a studio
recording session resulting in the first ever forum
members’ CD.

MUSIC MEDALS
Following a period of review and consultation, the Music
Medals website has been redesigned and relaunched. New
and improved features include:
• A dynamic repertoire search tool allowing teachers to
swiftly pinpoint the pieces and publications that they
require.
• New video clips demonstrating how Music Medals
assessments work and providing teachers with a visual
guide to conducting their own assessment.
• Enhanced navigation and content. Improved search
facilities and a new, more logical site structure means
that visitors can now locate relevant information quickly
and easily.
• Single-click access to popular resources. From any
website page, registered Music Medals teacher-assessors can
now directly access our online entry and results resource,
token purchase system and new online training tool.
ONLINE TRAINING AND LEARNING
New online learning and training environments were
created in 2007 for teachers who need to train to use Music
Medals assessments with their pupils and for students on
the 2007-2008 CT ABRSM course. Users are given a
username and password to access these new online learning
resources and can benefit from video training footage;
training and support materials; and fast and easy contact
with Associated Board support staff, should they have any
queries.

Publishing
2007 was a highly productive year for ABRSM Publishing,
with the publication of an enormous range of exam-related
books alongside some significant other titles.
Selected Violin Exam Pieces 2008-11 were published, for
the first time available with optional CDs containing
recordings of the complete syllabus and minus one tracks
of each of the pieces. Alongside the repertoire, we
published new volumes of the violin scale books, splitting
the two-volume series into eight grade-by-grade, userfriendly books.
In July, we expanded the Time Pieces series to include four
volumes for recorder, providing repertoire from the 14th
Century to the present day presented chronologically
within each volume.

n
September saw the publication for the first time of Selected
Exam Pieces for flute and clarinet, with optional recordings
to accompany the sheet music for both instruments. These
flute and clarinet volumes not only act as a superb exam
resource, providing cost-effective, easily obtainable
repertoire for candidates around the world, but are also an
invaluable repertoire resource for teachers and learners.
In June, to coincide with the 150th anniversary of Elgar’s
birth, the Extraordinary Lives series of composer
biographies was enhanced by the addition of J P E Harper
Scott’s Elgar: an extraordinary life.

“Attractively produced and modestly priced, this is an edition which promises to
reach its aim to be faithful to Beethoven’s intentions, and should be widely used
by pianists, students, teachers and all those interested in the detail and wider
context of the canonic masterpieces.”
Arietta, Journal of the Beethoven Piano Society of Europe
Undoubtedly, the highlight of the publishing programme
occurred in December with the publication of the Barry
Cooper edition of the Beethoven: The 35 Piano Sonatas.
The Craxton edition of the sonatas is more than 70 years
old and a new edition was long overdue. Barry Cooper’s
groundbreaking edition – the culmination of 12 years of
research – is based on the most up-to-date scholarship and
knowledge about this most important canon of works.
Features include:
• Inclusion of the three previously named sonatinas.
• CDs containing spoken commentary and demonstrations.
• Critical commentaries for each sonata including history,
full assessment of the sources and detailed notes on
interpretation. The commentaries are detachable from
the music, enabling the pianist to lay the commentary and
music side-by-side on the music stand.
Published in three separate volumes and as a box set, the
edition received a fitting launch at the Wigmore Hall in
December introduced by John Suchet, with talks by Barry
Cooper and David Ward, and performances by Martin
Roscoe on piano and Andrew Aarons on fortepiano. The
edition has already been met with critical acclaim around
the globe.
Sales and Marketing
Members of publishing staff visited retailers in the United
States, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, South Africa,
Germany and exhibitions in Frankfurt, New York and
Shanghai. Distribution of our jazz titles in North America
was taken over by Hal Leonard, the world’s largest sheet
music publishers, and we made significant changes to our
distribution arrangements in Australia and Sri Lanka.
Back in the UK, a retailer open day was held at the
Associated Board’s offices in July, which provided
customers with the opportunity to hear more about the
range of activities undertaken by the Associated Board.

Professional
Development
Those teachers who wish to keep their teaching skills upto-date now welcome continuing professional development
courses as essential. The world of music education is as
fast changing as any other aspect of teaching and learning.
Globalization brings not only the necessity for a great
understanding of music from a diverse range of cultures
and genres, but also the need for familiarity with, and
understanding of, the contribution that information and
communications technology can make.
“Fantastic weekend! Specialist sessions
have been insightful and provided
invaluable opportunities to ask
questions and collate information.”
Suzanne Ross, CT ABRSM student
Throughout 2007, we have continued to support
instrumental and singing teachers through the provision of
a varied programme of professional development courses,
workshops and seminars. Our core range of courses
remains extremely popular with teachers who work in a
variety of contexts. Moodle – the Associated Board’s
favoured interactive software platform – continues to be
successful in facilitating contact between fellow students
and their course leaders and mentors, significantly
enhancing the quality of our professional development
provision.
“Very organized, interesting lessons.
Feedback from work during these
sessions has been of great value;
it's nice to talk to like-minded people,
to share ideas.”

“I thought this was a thoroughly worthwhile day. Richard Ingham was very
charming and put everyone at their ease really quickly. He helped to demystify
the whole jazz/improvisation myth. Thank you for a very informative and
enjoyable day.”

Core courses
Our CT ABRSM course remains popular with UK and
Hong Kong teachers, providing an opportunity for
individuals to benefit from in-depth analysis of their work,
and the support of subject specific mentors and
experienced course leaders. Now in its 13th year, the
course continues to cover many of the same issues as it did
during its inaugural year, 1995, and is also annually revised
to ensure that content is up-to-date and fully tuned to the
needs of the current music teaching workforce.
Shorter courses – such as Teaching Music Effectively and
the Introduction to Instrumental and Vocal Teaching – are
also proving popular with teachers in the UK and beyond.
Towards the end of 2007, teachers in Indonesia embarked
on a four-day Teaching Music Effectively course,
completing their studies in January 2008. It is pleasing to
report that a number have since signed up for the CT
ABRSM course, which will run towards the end of 2008 in
Jakarta. Much of this success is due to the dedication,
commitment and enthusiasm of our long serving
Representative for Indonesia, Denis Umar.
• 92 teachers were awarded the
Certificate of Teaching in 2007
“You couldn't fail to learn, with the
enthusiasm and energy used by both
the course leader and mentors.”

Centenary Travel Grant programme
During 2007, the Centenary Travel Grant programme
visited various locations outside the UK. In May, Director
of Examinations Philip Mundey (now retired) and
examiner Angela Mundey visited Nairobi, Johannesburg
and Cape Town to give seminars focused on helping
teachers to improve their teaching of music theory and also
their understanding of the focus and purpose of our
practical examinations, with ‘a view from the examiner’s
chair’. Clara Taylor, Chief Examiner, and moderator
Richard Dickins gave seminars in Madrid later in the year
as part of the same programme.

immersed in jazz.”

Professional Development Programme
The Professional Development Programme focused on
three different but closely related topics. Seminars on
‘Improving your skills as a Performer’ were given at five
locations in Malaysia and also in Singapore during August
and September; the issue of ‘Achieving higher marks in
Grades 4-8 for piano’ was addressed at two presentations
in Indonesia in April; and ‘Introducing the new Piano
Syllabus 2007-2008’ was covered in a total of three
seminars in Hong Kong and Macau in March.
“Excellent. This has reinforced my
intention to go on further and gain
another qualification.”

Other events
A series of one-day autumn seminars in the UK focused on
the new exam syllabuses for violin, clarinet and flute, and
remain very popular with teachers who use our syllabuses.
Other professional development events included the annual
summer school for Hong Kong based piano students, aged
12-17, which was once again held at the King’s School, Ely.

Vocal Teaching participant
Jazz courses
Following on from the successful Jazz Taster Days held at
the end of 2006 – which provided an inspiring introduction
to the basics of teaching jazz – two 4-day jazz courses took
place shortly afterwards in early 2007, providing
opportunity for teachers to delve further into the field and
benefit from training sessions with Charlie Beale, Martin
Hathaway and Richard Ingham – educators and jazz
musicians. In total, the courses enabled 65 teachers to
take and pass their Grade 1 jazz exam, with some 78% of
participants gaining a distinction.

Nurturing
Relationships
As well as supporting music teachers and learners through
the provision of exams and assessments, publications and
professional development opportunities, we also offer
support to other organizations with similar objectives. We
do this in many ways, from offering sponsorships, to
attending and participating in conferences run by a wide
range of music associations worldwide.
Sponsorship
In 2007, we established a new sponsorship agreement with
the Federation of Music Services. The aim of this new
programme is to provide professional development
activities and opportunities for Music Service teachers all
round the country with a programme of events planned for
2008.
Our continued support for Music for Youth helped to
ensure that young musicians throughout England and
Wales have access to performance opportunities via
regional festivals. These took place in February and March,
with over 42,000 young musicians of all ages and levels of
ability taking part.

Promoting CLIC Sargent’s Practice-a-thon: Linzi Stoppard and Ben Levi of Fuse launching
‘Share a Stage at Glastonbury’
“The support the Associated Board has
offered over the past few years has
been invaluable to CLIC Sargent and
the work that we do; Practice-a-thon
has grown tremendously as a direct
result. I have always found the
Associated Board a pleasure to work
with and cannot express enough how
wonderful their support is to the
charity. To be associated with such a
prestigious and trusted organization
has given Practice-a-thon a real boost
within the music education sector.”
Rachael Groom, National Events Manager, CLIC Sargent
In September we sponsored the National Association of
Music Educators conference and provided funding for their
latest publication, Ways into Music.
The Associated Board also supported the work of the
Scottish Association for Music Education by helping to
fund an ICT day, which took place at Stirling University.
Attended by around 100 teachers from all over Scotland,
this unique event offered delegates the opportunity to
discover the latest in music software and technology.
Once again, the Associated Board was pleased to support
and help promote the CLIC Sargent Practice-a-thon. An
annual event that is rapidly growing in popularity, the
CLIC Sargent Practice-a-thon encourages young musicians
to practise their instruments every day for two weeks,
whilst collecting sponsorship money to help improve the
lives of young people in the UK with cancer. For the first
time in 2007, schools and music groups were able to keep
25% of the funds their pupils raised to further their own
music making activities.
Meeting teachers and working with students
We continued to support learners as well as their teachers by sponsoring the Annual National Electronic Keyboard
Summer School, held in Chelmsford in August. In 2007, the Associated Board also strengthened links with a number of
music education organizations and the teachers that they also represent, by attending their annual conferences. In the
UK, we exhibited at:
February 2007
March 2007
European String Teachers Association forum day
Leeds Jazz Festival
April 2007
Incorporated Society of Musicians Annual Conference
May 2007
Federation of Music Services Annual Conference
Music Masters and Mistresses Conferences (regional and national)
June 2007
British Association of Symphonic Brass and Wind Ensembles Conference
July 2007
European Piano Teachers Association Conference
Music for Youth National Festival and Singposium
World Association of Symphonic Bands and Wind Ensembles Conference
September 2007
Scottish Association for Music Education Conference
National Association of Music Educators Conference
"The FMS very much values the partnership with the Associated Board. It is
good that the two organizations share the same vision for music education.
We very much hope that we will continue to work together for the benefit of
young musicians for many years to come."
John Witchell, Federation of Music Services

Peggy was a caring and
inspiring mentor for many
talented pianists. She taught
for over 25 years and had an
exceptional ability to bring
out the very best in each of
her students. Peggy
dedicated the last 11 years of
her life to the Associated
Board, promoting the
learning and enjoyment of
music. She was extremely
influential in building a
strong Associated Board
presence in Canberra and
south coast New South
Wales. Peggy will be greatly
missed by everyone who
experienced her musical joy
and passion.

Maurice will be remembered
for his energy, enthusiasm
and loyalty shown over his
many years working for the
Associated Board. In
combination with his deep
commitment and quick wit,
many examiners and
teachers were aware that
‘nothing was too much
trouble’ for Maurice. In
every respect, he took his art
seriously, and as a teacher,
he had a pivotal role to play
in Jamaican musical history.
