ABRSM (Associated Board) NEW 2025

There are new repertoire lists for Practical and Performance Grades 1 to 8 and ARSM. They feature an eclectic mix of new and retained pieces with traditional classics alongside contemporary compositions and well-known pieces. At all levels we’ve provided a vast choice of music from all corners of the globe along with unexpected new sounds, from classical and blues through to tango. 

For Practical Grades, we’ve also revised the requirements for sight-reading and scales and arpeggios. You can find full details in the new qualification specification. New books to support teachers and learners with these sections of the exam are available from retailers.  

Candidates can use the new Harp Practical and Performance Grade syllabuses in exams from 1 June 2025. The current syllabuses remain valid until 31 December 2025. 

The new ARSM repertoire is available to use immediately, you don’t have to wait until June.  ARSM candidates can also continue to use pieces on the current list until 31 December 2025.
