On Thursday 9 May ABRSM will be hosting a couple of webinars to introduce its Youth Advisory Board, ahead of applications opening on Monday 20 May.
Intro to ABRSM youth voice programme
Have you ever wondered how ABRSM selects and grades much for its exam syllabuses? Or why scales and sight-reading are part of the Practical Grades but not the Performance Grades? 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 – we are running two webinars, pitched for different age groups, as follows:
- Session 1 (ages 10 – 15): 5.30pm, click here to book
- Session 2 (ages 16 – 25): 6.30pm, click here to book
The sessions are identical in terms of content, including an overview of ABRSM’s Youth Advisory Board and with plenty of time for questions. Each session will last for 45 minutes and will be led by Youth Voice Consultant Rylan Gleave, ABRSM’s Deputy Head of Engagement James Welburn and current Youth Advisory Board member Danya.
If you have any questions, or if you’d like to find out more but cannot attend the session, please get in touch with ABRSM via youthvoice@abrsm.ac.uk
