ABRSM

ABRSM (Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music) is one of the most respected music examination boards in the UK and internationally. While it’s best known for classical instrument grading, including guitar, it also offers theory exams and teaching qualifications. For guitarists interested in structured learning or aiming to teach, ABRSM provides a well-established framework with clear benchmarks. Though more traditional in its approach, it can be a useful reference point even for those on the more experimental or rock-oriented end of the spectrum.
