ABRSM Programme (British Curriculum)

The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music is an international study programme which is concluded by internationally acknowledged exams. It is not only a great motivation for students to practice, but most international primary and secondary schools require this Certificate from those students who would like to join their school orchestras. The ABRSM system is common in most European countries.

Students will receive an internationally  acknowledged certificate issued by the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music. The practical instrumental exam takes place in the Czech Republic in the end of May beginning of April. The musical theory exam is given three times a year.
