ASSOCIATED BOARD ANNUAL REVIEW 2003

About the Associated Board 

The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music is a 

charitable company established for the benefit of music 

education by four of the Royal Schools of Music in the UK: 

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 recognised 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 

currently 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 course 

(CT ABRSM) and a range of seminars and workshops. 

Our principal objective is to maintain and develop the 

services and products which 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.

Review of the year 

Introduction 

In the early part of the year it seemed as if the Associated 

Board’s work during 2003 might be seriously damaged by 

the combined impact of the SARS epidemic, international 

terrorism and the Iraq war. It was fortunate that the major 

international tours to the Far East were as usual scheduled 

for the second half of the year and, in the event, apart 

from Indonesia, there were no cancellations of planned 

exams. In fact exam entries overseas continued on their 

long-term upward trend, reaching a record level of around 

260,000. This was sufficient to counter the 1.7% downturn 

in the UK and enabled us to inch above the previous year, 

setting a new global record of over 609,000 entries in the 

year. The Publishing Company’s turnover, although down 

on the exceptional 2002 level, achieved budget despite 

significant loss of sales in those countries most affected by 

SARS. 2003 was also a busy year for the Professional 

Development Department with the CT ABRSM course 

continuing to run in the UK, Hong Kong and Singapore, and 

much else besides. 

In July, David Kent retired from both the Governing Body 

and the Finance and General Purposes Committee of the 

Associated Board. He had given valuable service since 

1998 and had in particular played a significant role in the 

decision to relocate the Board from Bedford Square in 

2000. We wish him a happy retirement and, on the 

nomination of the Royal Northern College of Music, 

welcome Neil Taylor in his place. We also warmly 

welcome Sir James Spooner who joined the Finance and 

General Purposes Committee on the nomination of the 

Royal Academy of Music in March 2003. At the executive 

level, Simon Mathews joined the Board of Directors of 

ABRSM Publishing in July and Alan Tait was appointed 

Deputy Head of the International Department. In the spring 

there was a major reorganisation of the marketing 

functions within the Board and Giles Morris was appointed 

to the new post of Head of Corporate Marketing. 

UK and Ireland Examinations 

Entries were received for some 348,000 practical and 

theory exams in the UK and Ireland in 2003. The practical 

exams were conducted by 598 examiners at 349 public 

exam centres as well as at a wide range of private venues 

across the country. The Associated Board remains deeply 

indebted to its team of Honorary Local Representatives 

(HLRs), now numbering 280, who shoulder much of the 

responsibility for local administration of exams. Their 

contribution was further recognised in 2003 through the 

inauguration of a new long-service award scheme, with the 

first awards being made at the Annual Lunch held in July. 

Some HLRs organised High Scorers’ Concerts in their 

regions to celebrate the achievement of candidates who 

attain the highest marks and these were again 

enthusiastically attended during the year. 

The high priority given by the Board to customer service 

was also evident at our office in London with particular 

attention being given to maximising notice of exam dates, 

flexibility with changes of appointment and issuing results 

promptly. Later closing dates are now available for those 

entering online and an increasing proportion of applicants 

took advantage of this system. 

International Examinations 

Hong Kong once again led the way in terms of international 

growth and plans were laid during the year to offer a 

second exam session there each spring, starting in 2004. 

There was significant growth in entries in a number of 

other countries as well, including Barbados, India, Mexico, 

Portugal, Thailand, Trinidad and Tobago, Spain and the USA. 

Shortly after the year-end, exams were held for the first 

time in Finland. In total 196 examiners undertook 301 

overseas tours during the year. 

Jubilee events were held in three countries during 2003: in 

Greece we celebrated 25 years of Associated Board exams, 

in Egypt 50 years and, remarkably, in Malta 100 years. It is 


hard to overestimate the impact of the Board’s work in a 

country such as Malta where, in some of those one 

hundred years, close to 1% of the entire population has 

undertaken Associated Board exams! In each of these 

countries the celebrations were splendidly organised by our 

local Representative and included a superb concert given 

by outstanding young performers. 

Numerous visits to overseas countries were made during 

the year by senior Associated Board staff. I was myself 

particularly pleased to attend the National Conference for 

New Zealand HLRs organised by our New Zealand 

Administrator, David Goodyear, and also to make a first visit 

with Tim Arnold, Head of International Operations, to our 

centres in Jordan, Kuwait, Oman and Qatar. 

In 2003 the Board continued its Professional Development 

Programmes in Malaysia and Singapore and these events 

were attended by around 1,400 teachers. In October the 

very first jazz exams in the region were conducted, with a 

remarkable 100% pass rate in the three centres in 

Singapore, Penang and Kuala Lumpur. 2003 also saw the 

first ever Associated Board Regional Representatives’ 

Conference when representatives from 12 European 

countries gathered for three days of seminars and 

discussion at our office in London. This sharing of skills 

and experiences across a range of countries having very 

different music education traditions and institutions proved 

to be extremely valuable. 

Syllabuses, Examiners and Quality Assurance 

Following the normal rolling schedule of syllabus 

changes, new repertoire lists for piano, viola, double bass 

and guitar took effect from the start of 2003. During the 

year work was completed on the new 2004/2005 

Woodwind and Brass Syllabus, which contains substantially 

revised repertoire lists for flute, clarinet, horn, E flat 

horn, baritone, euphonium and tuba. Work was also 

undertaken in the year in completely revising the harp 

syllabus and extending it to include non-pedal harps up 

to Grade 8. This new syllabus will be published in 

August 2004. A new Singing Prep Test was created and 

made available from mid 2003. 

A series of six seminars was offered across the country in 

the autumn to introduce flute and clarinet teachers to the 


new woodwind syllabus. These were attended in all by 

over 700 teachers. A further 340 attended three seminars 

on the teaching and learning of Grade 5 Theory. 

Given the continuing growth in candidate numbers 

throughout the world, high priority was given to recruitment 

and training of new examiners. In February, 120 potential 

examiners attended recruitment seminars aimed at 

providing more information about examining work and the 

application process. A number of improvements were also 

made during the year to examiner benefits. There are now 

over 600 members on the main panel, 220 diploma 

examiners, 40 specialist jazz examiners and around 100 

theory examiners. This growth once again placed heavy 

demands on all the Board’s quality assurance processes, 

and demonstrated their robustness. 

During 2003 the Board conducted a review into all aspects 

of the exam process for candidates with sensory 

impairments and learning difficulties. This has already 

resulted in the introduction of new guidelines for 

candidates with autistic spectrum disorders. These sit 

alongside existing guidelines for deaf and hearing-impaired 

candidates, blind and partially-sighted candidates and 

candidates with dyslexia. 

New Projects 

As I wrote in the 2002 Annual Review, there has been 

much closer integration across different departments within 

the Board in recent years. This has been particularly 

apparent in the co-ordination of skills for the development 

and delivery of new products and services. 

The biggest Board event in 2003 was the launch of brand 

new syllabuses and publications for jazz clarinet, 

saxophone, trumpet and trombone. Over 500 jazz 

performers and teachers attended a series of events across 

the country, culminating in the press launch at the Purcell 

Room, London, in June. These new syllabuses at Grades 

1 to 5 follow on from the very successful jazz piano 

syllabus introduced in 1998. The first exams were held in 

September and the jazz panel now examines across all 

these instruments. The conduct of their work is laid out in 

a new Jazz Examiners’ Handbook. The new syllabus made 

prodigious demands on ABRSM Publishing and has 

resulted in a unique jazz education resource (see below).

During the year particular efforts were made in promoting 

our jazz materials in North America. Close links were 

established with the International Association for Jazz 

Education and jazz representatives were appointed in 

Canada and (after the year-end) in New York. 

As foreshadowed in the 2002 Annual Review, excellent 

progress was made during the year in developing Music 

Medals, the Board’s new programme of assessments at the 

early stages of learning for individual pupils taught in 

groups. Further piloting was undertaken with around 20 

Music Services on all aspects of the administration and 

information technology required for the delivery of these 

assessments, and a Music Medals promotion team was 

created to visit Music Services throughout the UK. Work 

continued on the development of syllabuses and 

publications for a wide range of instruments and on 

planning the training of teacher-assessors and Music 

Medals moderators. Music Medals will be launched in mid 

2004 with the first assessments available from September. 

Accreditation of Music Medals by the Qualifications and 

Curriculum Authority has already been achieved for five 

instruments and is underway for the further twelve 

instruments for which assessments are planned to be 

available by the end of 2004. 

During the second half of 2003, the Board researched and 

developed a proposal for submission to Culture Online, part 

of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, for funding 

the creation of a new online and CD-ROM resource for 

extending access to music and enriching musical 

understanding, exploration and creativity. Just before the 

year-end we received acceptance in principle (subsequently 

confirmed) from Culture Online. It is planned that this 

project, entitled SoundWorlds, will be completed and 

delivered in September 2005. 

At the end of the year the Board unveiled its 

comprehensively redesigned website, www.abrsm.org, 

which is multi-lingual and offers visitors improved 

international scope, maximum accessibility, easy navigation 

and information-rich content. The new site has specific 

areas for teachers, parents and students and provides a 

forum for the global music education community. 

Publishing 

The year was dominated by the ‘Jazz Horns’ project which 

required a suite of 38 publications. As ever, the books and 

CDs involved some radical approaches. The most notable 

of these was The AB Real Book. Designed to provide 

repertoire for instruments at the Grades 4 and 5 level, the 

Real Book also created a vital resource for jazz ensembles. 

To counter difficulties with transposition and to aid 

inexperienced players to structure their interpretations, 

The AB Real Book was published in four versions - 

C treble-clef, C bass-clef, B flat and E flat - and with 

arrangements provided which could be used as they are 

or as a starting point for a performance. 

The production of this vast project was a remarkable 

achievement for the Publishing Company. The dimensions 

were indeed vast: 350 tunes, over 3,500 pages of music, 

and more than 25 hours of recordings. Furthermore, it 

proved necessary to produce revised versions of the Real 

Book and some of the CDs for Grades 4 and 5 because of 

copyright restrictions on the use of some tunes in North 

America. The North American editions were consequently 

produced in November 2003. 

There was another innovation driven by the production of 

‘Jazz Horns’ publications. Piano accompaniments for 

Grades 4 and 5 were created but were not published in a 

conventional form as this would have been extremely 

uneconomic. Instead, an agreement was reached with an 

internet provider, SheetMusicNow.com, to create an ABRSM 

Publishing ‘platform’ from which these accompaniments 

can be downloaded for a small fee. 

The development of Music Medals also necessitated a 

major input from ABRSM Publishing. As with jazz, several 

innovations were necessary, not least the need to replicate 

the metal ‘colours’ of the five Medals in all printed 

materials and on the medals themselves! Although the 

launch of Music Medals is not scheduled until May 2004, 

the project was processing through the publishing 

schedules for all of 2003. 

This and the jazz project meant that there was little time 

for other kinds of publication. Nevertheless a new-style 

Singing Prep Test was published in April with the nowfamiliar 

quirky illustrations from cartoonist Martin Shovel. 

The annual publication of past theory papers was achieved 


in January. Some fresh volumes in the Time Pieces series 

emerged in October with two albums for horn (usable by 

both F and E flat varieties). The Associated Board’s 

strengthening commitment to helping overseas 

exam candidates was further supported by Publishing’s 

production of our most popular theory publications - Eric 

Taylor’s Music Theory in Practice for Grades 1 to 5, and his 

First Steps in Music Theory - in Spanish versions which 

came out early in 2003. 

Internationally there was a major development for Publishing 

in the appointment of a new North American distributor. 

The distinguished publishing house of C F Peters Corporation 

in New York took on the distribution of Associated Board 

publications from July 2003. This was the outcome of an 

extensive review of distribution options in the USA. 

Publishing staff also visited Malaysia and Singapore to 

support the various professional development activities there. 

The Director of Publishing, Leslie East, took part in a Product 

Presentation Day in Kuala Lumpur in July for over 50 music 

retailers from all parts of the region. Finally, ABRSM 

Publishing initiated a campaign to combat illegal 

photocopying of music with a striking poster, produced in 

collaboration with the UK Music Publishers’ Association and 

with the key UK sheet music publishers. This poster was in 

much demand all over the world in 2003 and can be seen 

in libraries, schools, colleges and even copy shops! 

Professional Development 

The 2002/03 CT ABRSM UK course was successfully 

completed by 119 teachers and celebrated at an award 

ceremony held at the Britten Theatre at the Royal College 

of Music on 23 July 2003. The guest speaker was Sir 

Michael Bichard. There are now over 140 students midway 

through the 2003/04 course in the UK at six centres, of 

whom 25 are enrolled on the new fast-track residential 

version of this acclaimed professional development course. 

The 2002/03 CT ABRSM Singapore course ended in January 

2003 and the 2002/03 Hong Kong course in April 2003. 

The fifth intake to the course in Hong Kong began their 

studies in October 2003 with Course Leader Walter Blair 

after a start delayed by the impact of the SARS virus. 

The sixth intake to the course in Singapore began in July 

2003 with Bill Thomson, the Board’s South East Asia 

Regional Consultant, as Course Leader. 


As part of the Centenary Travel Grant programme, 

distinguished jazz performers and music educators Pete 

Churchill and Nikki Iles led workshop sessions in 

Melbourne, Perth and Sydney, Australia in January 2003. 

The Board’s Professional Development Director, Richard 

Crozier, was keynote speaker at the Institute of Registered 

Music Teachers of New Zealand annual conference held in 

Hamilton, New Zealand in January 2003; and he was also 

a member of the adjudicating panel for the Yamaha 

Scottish Instrumental Teacher of the Year in June. The 

Board’s second Professional Development Conference for 

teachers in South East Asia took place in Penang at the 

end of November 2003. Presenters included Bill 

Thompson, Mark Ray, Peter Noke, Chief Examiner Clara 

Taylor and Professor Keith Swanwick, and a violin recital 

was given by Yap Ling. 

Administration 

I referred in the 2002 Annual Review to the Board’s 

commitment to Child Protection. During 2003 our policy 

was fully developed and disseminated, not only to all 

members of staff but also to all examiners, Course Leaders, 

mentors and HLRs. Throughout this process we consulted 

with the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to 

Children. Towards the end of the year we commissioned a 

comprehensive audit of the Board’s Human Resources 

policies and practices. The consultant’s report was 

finalised shortly after the year-end and will provide a 

sound basis for reviewing and developing this aspect of 

our operations. 

The continuing expansion of the Board’s work, in particular 

the new projects set out above, has put pressure on our 

office accommodation at Portland Place, London. Since the 

year-end we have therefore taken back possession of the 

part of the top floor which was formerly let to sub-tenants. 

In 2003 we also entered into a Disaster Recovery contract 

so that the Board’s operations are safeguarded in the 

event that we are denied access, either temporarily or 

permanently, to our office in London. 

In addition to the IT developments within the new projects, 

the IT Department successfully piloted online entry 

procedures for exams conducted in both Singapore and 

Malaysia during the year.

Music Education 

In 2003 the Board extended its scholarship provision by 

the creation of scholarships at the Junior Schools of four of 

the Royal Schools of Music. One such scholarship is now 

offered each year at each Royal School. Taking account of 

all the existing Associated Board scholarships for both 

undergraduate and postgraduate students, there are now 

up to 52 Associated Board scholars studying at the Royal 

Schools at any one time. 

During the year the Board maintained its sponsorship 

support for Music for Youth’s Regional Festival Series, 

which makes a crucial contribution to group music-making 

by young people in the UK. After the year-end a decision 

was taken to increase further the level of sponsorship for 

the Federation of Music Services specifically for its work in 

the provision of more training for group tuition. Both these 

very worthwhile sponsorships are even more relevant to 

the Associated Board with the imminent launch of our 

Music Medals programme. 

The Board warmly endorsed a new initiative by Youth 

Music to encourage more playing of ‘endangered 

instruments’, specifically bassoon, double bass, 

euphonium, French horn, oboe, trombone and tuba. 

This responds directly to the warnings sounded by the 

Board at the launch of our research report, Making Music 

2000. We remain concerned nonetheless at the slow 

progress being made by the government in delivery on its 

pledge that over time any child who wishes should have 

the opportunity to learn a musical instrument. Whilst 

there have been many expressions of support for music 

education from Ministers in both the Department for 

Education and Skills and the Department for Culture, 

Media and Sport, progress on implementation 

remains slow. 

Conclusion 

2003 proved to be a particularly industrious year for 

everyone connected with the Board: as well as 

maintaining very high exam volumes, there was a great 

deal of work to be done on the new projects. At the same 

time the threat of SARS and other disruptions to our 

international work imposed particular pressures on staff, 

overseas Representatives and most of all on examiners. 

The continuing commitment of all the Board’s stakeholders, 

even in the most difficult circumstances, is one of the most 

rewarding aspects of my job and one of the most striking 

features of the Board itself. 

It is exciting to look ahead now to the fruits of this labour 

as the demand for our core exams, publications and other 

services continues to grow and as the new projects come 

on stream. The Associated Board is indeed now 

positioned not just as the world’s leading music awarding 

body but also as a major provider of products and services 

that support music teaching and learning. I express my 

warmest thanks to everyone who has contributed and 

continues to contribute to the achievement of this mission.

Obituaries 

Maureen Harrison, HLR for Rochester, 

died in October 2003. Though she 

worked with us for only a short time it 

was evident that she was a dedicated, 

warm and thoughtful person who took 

great care of our exams. 

Eileen Popkin, HLR for Romford, died 

in January 2003. She was well known 

by candidates, teachers, examiners 

and staff for her kindness, her 

efficiency and her good humour. 

Glynne Jones, HLR for Buxton and 

Matlock, died in June 2003. His 

contribution to the Associated Board’s 

activities was remarkable. He was 

appointed HLR in 1961 and therefore 

assisted in the arrangements for local 

candidates’ exams for an exceptional 

42 years. His professionalism and 

impeccable attention to detail 

throughout that time were admirable. 

Karen Bradley, HLR for Crouch End, 

died in June 2003. She was an 

extremely dedicated supporter of the 

Associated Board and of the 

candidates who attended for exams at 

her home. Her conscientious and 

professional approach was greatly 

appreciated.

About the Associated Board 

The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music is a 

charitable company established for the benefit of music 

education by four of the Royal Schools of Music in the UK: 



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 recognised 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 

currently 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 course 

(CT ABRSM) and a range of seminars and workshops. 

Our principal objective is to maintain and develop the 

services and products which 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.

Review of the year 

Introduction 

In the early part of the year it seemed as if the Associated 

Board’s work during 2003 might be seriously damaged by 

the combined impact of the SARS epidemic, international 

terrorism and the Iraq war. It was fortunate that the major 

international tours to the Far East were as usual scheduled 

for the second half of the year and, in the event, apart 

from Indonesia, there were no cancellations of planned 

exams. In fact exam entries overseas continued on their 

long-term upward trend, reaching a record level of around 

260,000. This was sufficient to counter the 1.7% downturn 

in the UK and enabled us to inch above the previous year, 

setting a new global record of over 609,000 entries in the 

year. The Publishing Company’s turnover, although down 

on the exceptional 2002 level, achieved budget despite 

significant loss of sales in those countries most affected by 

SARS. 2003 was also a busy year for the Professional 

Development Department with the CT ABRSM course 

continuing to run in the UK, Hong Kong and Singapore, and 

much else besides. 

In July, David Kent retired from both the Governing Body 

and the Finance and General Purposes Committee of the 

Associated Board. He had given valuable service since 

1998 and had in particular played a significant role in the 

decision to relocate the Board from Bedford Square in 

2000. We wish him a happy retirement and, on the 

nomination of the Royal Northern College of Music, 

welcome Neil Taylor in his place. We also warmly 

welcome Sir James Spooner who joined the Finance and 

General Purposes Committee on the nomination of the 

Royal Academy of Music in March 2003. At the executive 

level, Simon Mathews joined the Board of Directors of 

ABRSM Publishing in July and Alan Tait was appointed 

Deputy Head of the International Department. In the spring 

there was a major reorganisation of the marketing 

functions within the Board and Giles Morris was appointed 

to the new post of Head of Corporate Marketing. 

UK and Ireland Examinations 

Entries were received for some 348,000 practical and 

theory exams in the UK and Ireland in 2003. The practical 

exams were conducted by 598 examiners at 349 public 

exam centres as well as at a wide range of private venues 

across the country. The Associated Board remains deeply 

indebted to its team of Honorary Local Representatives 

(HLRs), now numbering 280, who shoulder much of the 

responsibility for local administration of exams. Their 

contribution was further recognised in 2003 through the 

inauguration of a new long-service award scheme, with the 

first awards being made at the Annual Lunch held in July. 

Some HLRs organised High Scorers’ Concerts in their 

regions to celebrate the achievement of candidates who 

attain the highest marks and these were again 

enthusiastically attended during the year. 

The high priority given by the Board to customer service 

was also evident at our office in London with particular 

attention being given to maximising notice of exam dates, 

flexibility with changes of appointment and issuing results 

promptly. Later closing dates are now available for those 

entering online and an increasing proportion of applicants 

took advantage of this system. 

International Examinations 

Hong Kong once again led the way in terms of international 

growth and plans were laid during the year to offer a 

second exam session there each spring, starting in 2004. 

There was significant growth in entries in a number of 

other countries as well, including Barbados, India, Mexico, 

Portugal, Thailand, Trinidad and Tobago, Spain and the USA. 

Shortly after the year-end, exams were held for the first 

time in Finland. In total 196 examiners undertook 301 

overseas tours during the year. 

Jubilee events were held in three countries during 2003: in 

Greece we celebrated 25 years of Associated Board exams, 

in Egypt 50 years and, remarkably, in Malta 100 years. It is 


hard to overestimate the impact of the Board’s work in a 

country such as Malta where, in some of those one 

hundred years, close to 1% of the entire population has 

undertaken Associated Board exams! In each of these 

countries the celebrations were splendidly organised by our 

local Representative and included a superb concert given 

by outstanding young performers. 

Numerous visits to overseas countries were made during 

the year by senior Associated Board staff. I was myself 

particularly pleased to attend the National Conference for 

New Zealand HLRs organised by our New Zealand 

Administrator, David Goodyear, and also to make a first visit 

with Tim Arnold, Head of International Operations, to our 

centres in Jordan, Kuwait, Oman and Qatar. 

In 2003 the Board continued its Professional Development 

Programmes in Malaysia and Singapore and these events 

were attended by around 1,400 teachers. In October the 

very first jazz exams in the region were conducted, with a 

remarkable 100% pass rate in the three centres in 

Singapore, Penang and Kuala Lumpur. 2003 also saw the 

first ever Associated Board Regional Representatives’ 

Conference when representatives from 12 European 

countries gathered for three days of seminars and 

discussion at our office in London. This sharing of skills 

and experiences across a range of countries having very 

different music education traditions and institutions proved 

to be extremely valuable. 

Syllabuses, Examiners and Quality Assurance 

Following the normal rolling schedule of syllabus 

changes, new repertoire lists for piano, viola, double bass 

and guitar took effect from the start of 2003. During the 

year work was completed on the new 2004/2005 

Woodwind and Brass Syllabus, which contains substantially 

revised repertoire lists for flute, clarinet, horn, E flat 

horn, baritone, euphonium and tuba. Work was also 

undertaken in the year in completely revising the harp 

syllabus and extending it to include non-pedal harps up 

to Grade 8. This new syllabus will be published in 

August 2004. A new Singing Prep Test was created and 

made available from mid 2003. 

A series of six seminars was offered across the country in 

the autumn to introduce flute and clarinet teachers to the 


new woodwind syllabus. These were attended in all by 

over 700 teachers. A further 340 attended three seminars 

on the teaching and learning of Grade 5 Theory. 

Given the continuing growth in candidate numbers 

throughout the world, high priority was given to recruitment 

and training of new examiners. In February, 120 potential 

examiners attended recruitment seminars aimed at 

providing more information about examining work and the 

application process. A number of improvements were also 

made during the year to examiner benefits. There are now 

over 600 members on the main panel, 220 diploma 

examiners, 40 specialist jazz examiners and around 100 

theory examiners. This growth once again placed heavy 

demands on all the Board’s quality assurance processes, 

and demonstrated their robustness. 

During 2003 the Board conducted a review into all aspects 

of the exam process for candidates with sensory 

impairments and learning difficulties. This has already 

resulted in the introduction of new guidelines for 

candidates with autistic spectrum disorders. These sit 

alongside existing guidelines for deaf and hearing-impaired 

candidates, blind and partially-sighted candidates and 

candidates with dyslexia. 

New Projects 

As I wrote in the 2002 Annual Review, there has been 

much closer integration across different departments within 

the Board in recent years. This has been particularly 

apparent in the co-ordination of skills for the development 

and delivery of new products and services. 

The biggest Board event in 2003 was the launch of brand 

new syllabuses and publications for jazz clarinet, 

saxophone, trumpet and trombone. Over 500 jazz 

performers and teachers attended a series of events across 

the country, culminating in the press launch at the Purcell 

Room, London, in June. These new syllabuses at Grades 

1 to 5 follow on from the very successful jazz piano 

syllabus introduced in 1998. The first exams were held in 

September and the jazz panel now examines across all 

these instruments. The conduct of their work is laid out in 

a new Jazz Examiners’ Handbook. The new syllabus made 

prodigious demands on ABRSM Publishing and has 

resulted in a unique jazz education resource (see below).

During the year particular efforts were made in promoting 

our jazz materials in North America. Close links were 

established with the International Association for Jazz 

Education and jazz representatives were appointed in 

Canada and (after the year-end) in New York. 

As foreshadowed in the 2002 Annual Review, excellent 

progress was made during the year in developing Music 

Medals, the Board’s new programme of assessments at the 

early stages of learning for individual pupils taught in 

groups. Further piloting was undertaken with around 20 

Music Services on all aspects of the administration and 

information technology required for the delivery of these 

assessments, and a Music Medals promotion team was 

created to visit Music Services throughout the UK. Work 

continued on the development of syllabuses and 

publications for a wide range of instruments and on 

planning the training of teacher-assessors and Music 

Medals moderators. Music Medals will be launched in mid 

2004 with the first assessments available from September. 

Accreditation of Music Medals by the Qualifications and 

Curriculum Authority has already been achieved for five 

instruments and is underway for the further twelve 

instruments for which assessments are planned to be 

available by the end of 2004. 

During the second half of 2003, the Board researched and 

developed a proposal for submission to Culture Online, part 

of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, for funding 

the creation of a new online and CD-ROM resource for 

extending access to music and enriching musical 

understanding, exploration and creativity. Just before the 

year-end we received acceptance in principle (subsequently 

confirmed) from Culture Online. It is planned that this 

project, entitled SoundWorlds, will be completed and 

delivered in September 2005. 

At the end of the year the Board unveiled its 

comprehensively redesigned website, www.abrsm.org, 

which is multi-lingual and offers visitors improved 

international scope, maximum accessibility, easy navigation 

and information-rich content. The new site has specific 

areas for teachers, parents and students and provides a 

forum for the global music education community. 

Publishing 

The year was dominated by the ‘Jazz Horns’ project which 

required a suite of 38 publications. As ever, the books and 

CDs involved some radical approaches. The most notable 

of these was The AB Real Book. Designed to provide 

repertoire for instruments at the Grades 4 and 5 level, the 

Real Book also created a vital resource for jazz ensembles. 

To counter difficulties with transposition and to aid 

inexperienced players to structure their interpretations, 

The AB Real Book was published in four versions - 

C treble-clef, C bass-clef, B flat and E flat - and with 

arrangements provided which could be used as they are 

or as a starting point for a performance. 

The production of this vast project was a remarkable 

achievement for the Publishing Company. The dimensions 

were indeed vast: 350 tunes, over 3,500 pages of music, 

and more than 25 hours of recordings. Furthermore, it 

proved necessary to produce revised versions of the Real 

Book and some of the CDs for Grades 4 and 5 because of 

copyright restrictions on the use of some tunes in North 

America. The North American editions were consequently 

produced in November 2003. 

There was another innovation driven by the production of 

‘Jazz Horns’ publications. Piano accompaniments for 

Grades 4 and 5 were created but were not published in a 

conventional form as this would have been extremely 

uneconomic. Instead, an agreement was reached with an 

internet provider, SheetMusicNow.com, to create an ABRSM 

Publishing ‘platform’ from which these accompaniments 

can be downloaded for a small fee. 

The development of Music Medals also necessitated a 

major input from ABRSM Publishing. As with jazz, several 

innovations were necessary, not least the need to replicate 

the metal ‘colours’ of the five Medals in all printed 

materials and on the medals themselves! Although the 

launch of Music Medals is not scheduled until May 2004, 

the project was processing through the publishing 

schedules for all of 2003. 

This and the jazz project meant that there was little time 

for other kinds of publication. Nevertheless a new-style 

Singing Prep Test was published in April with the nowfamiliar 

quirky illustrations from cartoonist Martin Shovel. 

The annual publication of past theory papers was achieved 


in January. Some fresh volumes in the Time Pieces series 

emerged in October with two albums for horn (usable by 

both F and E flat varieties). The Associated Board’s 

strengthening commitment to helping overseas 

exam candidates was further supported by Publishing’s 

production of our most popular theory publications - Eric 

Taylor’s Music Theory in Practice for Grades 1 to 5, and his 

First Steps in Music Theory - in Spanish versions which 

came out early in 2003. 

Internationally there was a major development for Publishing 

in the appointment of a new North American distributor. 

The distinguished publishing house of C F Peters Corporation 

in New York took on the distribution of Associated Board 

publications from July 2003. This was the outcome of an 

extensive review of distribution options in the USA. 

Publishing staff also visited Malaysia and Singapore to 

support the various professional development activities there. 

The Director of Publishing, Leslie East, took part in a Product 

Presentation Day in Kuala Lumpur in July for over 50 music 

retailers from all parts of the region. Finally, ABRSM 

Publishing initiated a campaign to combat illegal 

photocopying of music with a striking poster, produced in 

collaboration with the UK Music Publishers’ Association and 

with the key UK sheet music publishers. This poster was in 

much demand all over the world in 2003 and can be seen 

in libraries, schools, colleges and even copy shops! 


The 2002/03 CT ABRSM UK course was successfully 

completed by 119 teachers and celebrated at an award 

ceremony held at the Britten Theatre at the Royal College 

of Music on 23 July 2003. The guest speaker was Sir 

Michael Bichard. There are now over 140 students midway 

through the 2003/04 course in the UK at six centres, of 

whom 25 are enrolled on the new fast-track residential 

version of this acclaimed professional development course. 

The 2002/03 CT ABRSM Singapore course ended in January 

2003 and the 2002/03 Hong Kong course in April 2003. 

The fifth intake to the course in Hong Kong began their 

studies in October 2003 with Course Leader Walter Blair 

after a start delayed by the impact of the SARS virus. 

The sixth intake to the course in Singapore began in July 

2003 with Bill Thomson, the Board’s South East Asia 

Regional Consultant, as Course Leader. 


As part of the Centenary Travel Grant programme, 

distinguished jazz performers and music educators Pete 

Churchill and Nikki Iles led workshop sessions in 

Melbourne, Perth and Sydney, Australia in January 2003. 

The Board’s Professional Development Director, Richard 

Crozier, was keynote speaker at the Institute of Registered 

Music Teachers of New Zealand annual conference held in 

Hamilton, New Zealand in January 2003; and he was also 

a member of the adjudicating panel for the Yamaha 

Scottish Instrumental Teacher of the Year in June. The 

Board’s second Professional Development Conference for 

teachers in South East Asia took place in Penang at the 

end of November 2003. Presenters included Bill 

Thompson, Mark Ray, Peter Noke, Chief Examiner Clara 

Taylor and Professor Keith Swanwick, and a violin recital 

was given by Yap Ling. 

Administration 

I referred in the 2002 Annual Review to the Board’s 

commitment to Child Protection. During 2003 our policy 

was fully developed and disseminated, not only to all 

members of staff but also to all examiners, Course Leaders, 

mentors and HLRs. Throughout this process we consulted 

with the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to 

Children. Towards the end of the year we commissioned a 

comprehensive audit of the Board’s Human Resources 

policies and practices. The consultant’s report was 

finalised shortly after the year-end and will provide a 

sound basis for reviewing and developing this aspect of 

our operations. 

The continuing expansion of the Board’s work, in particular 

the new projects set out above, has put pressure on our 

office accommodation at Portland Place, London. Since the 

year-end we have therefore taken back possession of the 

part of the top floor which was formerly let to sub-tenants. 

In 2003 we also entered into a Disaster Recovery contract 

so that the Board’s operations are safeguarded in the 

event that we are denied access, either temporarily or 

permanently, to our office in London. 

In addition to the IT developments within the new projects, 

the IT Department successfully piloted online entry 

procedures for exams conducted in both Singapore and 

Malaysia during the year.

Music Education 

In 2003 the Board extended its scholarship provision by 

the creation of scholarships at the Junior Schools of four of 

the Royal Schools of Music. One such scholarship is now 

offered each year at each Royal School. Taking account of 

all the existing Associated Board scholarships for both 

undergraduate and postgraduate students, there are now 

up to 52 Associated Board scholars studying at the Royal 

Schools at any one time. 

During the year the Board maintained its sponsorship 

support for Music for Youth’s Regional Festival Series, 

which makes a crucial contribution to group music-making 

by young people in the UK. After the year-end a decision 

was taken to increase further the level of sponsorship for 

the Federation of Music Services specifically for its work in 

the provision of more training for group tuition. Both these 

very worthwhile sponsorships are even more relevant to 

the Associated Board with the imminent launch of our 

Music Medals programme. 

The Board warmly endorsed a new initiative by Youth 

Music to encourage more playing of ‘endangered 

instruments’, specifically bassoon, double bass, 

euphonium, French horn, oboe, trombone and tuba. 

This responds directly to the warnings sounded by the 

Board at the launch of our research report, Making Music 

2000. We remain concerned nonetheless at the slow 

progress being made by the government in delivery on its 

pledge that over time any child who wishes should have 

the opportunity to learn a musical instrument. Whilst 

there have been many expressions of support for music 

education from Ministers in both the Department for 

Education and Skills and the Department for Culture, 

Media and Sport, progress on implementation 

remains slow. 

Conclusion 

2003 proved to be a particularly industrious year for 

everyone connected with the Board: as well as 

maintaining very high exam volumes, there was a great 

deal of work to be done on the new projects. At the same 

time the threat of SARS and other disruptions to our 

international work imposed particular pressures on staff, 

overseas Representatives and most of all on examiners. 

The continuing commitment of all the Board’s stakeholders, 

even in the most difficult circumstances, is one of the most 

rewarding aspects of my job and one of the most striking 

features of the Board itself. 

It is exciting to look ahead now to the fruits of this labour 

as the demand for our core exams, publications and other 

services continues to grow and as the new projects come 

on stream. The Associated Board is indeed now 

positioned not just as the world’s leading music awarding 

body but also as a major provider of products and services 

that support music teaching and learning. I express my 

warmest thanks to everyone who has contributed and 

continues to contribute to the achievement of this mission.

Obituaries 

Maureen Harrison, HLR for Rochester, 

died in October 2003. Though she 

worked with us for only a short time it 

was evident that she was a dedicated, 

warm and thoughtful person who took 

great care of our exams. 

Eileen Popkin, HLR for Romford, died 

in January 2003. She was well known 

by candidates, teachers, examiners 

and staff for her kindness, her 

efficiency and her good humour. 

Glynne Jones, HLR for Buxton and 

Matlock, died in June 2003. His 

contribution to the Associated Board’s 

activities was remarkable. He was 

appointed HLR in 1961 and therefore 

assisted in the arrangements for local 

candidates’ exams for an exceptional 

42 years. His professionalism and 

impeccable attention to detail 

throughout that time were admirable. 

Karen Bradley, HLR for Crouch End, 

died in June 2003. She was an 

extremely dedicated supporter of the 

Associated Board and of the 

candidates who attended for exams at 

her home. Her conscientious and 

professional approach was greatly 

appreciated.
