Being an ABRSM Public Exam Centre, we received many questions about the new syllabus, below are quick snapshot to digest:


As announced, the latest ABRSM piano syllabus is out worldwide on 9th of July 2020. Following are the components of the exam syllabus:


1. Scales & Arpeggios: Revised Scales & Arpeggios for all grades with addition of new initial Grade
2. Sight-reading: No changes except for the introduction of new initial Grade


3. Exam Pieces:
• More choices and variety of repertoire (30 pieces each grade)
• Revised repertoire list together with list structures with list defined by musical characteristics instead of existing lists group by period of composition
• A Duet option available from Initial Grade to Grade 3. Students may refer to New Piano Star Duets for choice of pieces.


Nevertheless, the new syllabus will take effect on January 1st, 2021, available for download here: https://sg.abrsm.org/en/our-exams/piano-exams/


Due to current year’s examination delays caused by the Covid-19 situation, there will be a one-year overlap period, with the 2019 & 2020 syllabus valid until December 31st, 2021 according to the exam board.


However, all three pieces and the scales requirements must be prepared from the same syllabus. A mixed selection between 2019 & 2020 and 2021 & 2022 syllabus are not allowed by students.


Another announcement being by ABRSM (emerging from the situation of Covid-19) in May 2020 that online practical graded music exams with a focus on performance will be made available to students in the UK from August 2020.


The exams will be for all instruments and grades and will use existing repertoire and resources. These exams, though only available in UK for now, will eventually be rolled out in stages to students in other countries in the near future such as Singapore.


These performance-focused graded music exams will be assessed remotely based on a recorded (video) submission. All the pieces played must be recorded in a single (non-stop) take.
