ARSM (Associate of the Royal Schools of Music)

ARSM is a performance-focused diploma for learners beyond Grade 8 level. Working towards an ARSM provides motivation, structure and feedback for developing musicians, and successful candidates can use the letters ARSM after their name.

Taking an ARSM performance diploma offers an opportunity to:

• develop and demonstrate performance skills, such as technique, control, interpretation, communication and delivery;
• explore new repertoire;
• create and perform an extended programme of music.
