Intro to ABRSM Youth Advisory Board (Session 2: ages 16 – 25)

Have you ever wondered how ABRSM exam pieces are chosen? Or why scales are part of your exam? Maybe you have some feedback or exciting new ideas you’d like to share with ABRSM. Or perhaps you’ve never taken a music exam or even heard of ABRSM, but would like to connect with other young musicians that share a passion for music. If any of these questions grab your attention, then we’d love for you to join our introductory webinar on Thursday 9 May to find out more about ABRSM’s Youth Advisory Board.

The Youth Advisory Board comprises three age groups, as follows:

Juniors (ages 10 - 13)

Seniors (ages 14 - 17)

Young Adults (ages 18 - 25)

The Youth Advisory Board plays a central role in shaping ABRSM’s work, relating to both our exams and wider activities, including our work in the community. There are some great perks too, including the opportunity to meet other young musicians, contribute to the direction of a global music organisation, enhance your skills, experience, and CV, and get some cool ABRSM stuff (and discounts!).

If you’re interested in finding out more, please join us online on Thursday 9 May at 6.30pm. The session will last for 45 minutes and will include a programme overview and plenty of time for questions and discussion. The session will be led by Youth Voice Consultant Rylan Gleave, ABRSM's Deputy Head of Engagement James Welburn and current Youth Advisory Board member Danya, and is aimed at those aged between 16 and 25. A separate session aimed at those aged between 10 and 15 will precede this event - for further information, click here.

If you have any questions, or if you’d like to find out more but cannot attend the session, please get in touch with Rylan: gleaverylan@gmail.com

We will circulate the webinar link to all attendees in advance of the session. Please note the webinar will be held via Zoom and we will have a live captioner. The session will also be recorded and circulated to everyone who has registered for a free ticket, so even if you cannot attend the live session please do register in order to receive the recording afterwards.
