Our registered office is at 4 London Wall Place, London EC2Y 5AU. Our mission ABRSM’s mission is to inspire achievement in music. We do this in partnership with four Royal Schools of Music: Royal Academy of Music, Royal College of Music, Royal Northern College of Music and Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. We are passionate about music, its value as an art form and the importance of music education. We believe that being involved with music gives people unique, positive experiences with life-long benefits. Through our world-leading assessments, books and resources we provide people worldwide with the tools they need to teach, learn, make and enjoy music. Our scholarships, donations, sponsorship and partnerships create opportunities for people of all ages to discover music and fulfil their potential. Everything we do is designed to support candidates and teachers on their musical journey. Find out more at www.abrsm.org. How we are regulated The ARSM diploma is regulated in the UK by the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual), Qualifications Wales and Council for Curriculum, Examinations and Assessment (CCEA Regulation). It is part of the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) in England and Northern Ireland. For further information, see www. abrsm.org/regulation. This qualification specification What this specification covers This specification includes all the information required to deliver a qualification, including regulated qualification details, and assessment and learning outcomes. It is designed to help teachers, candidates, parents and organisations when preparing for an ARSM in the exam subjects listed below. It should be read in conjunction with the ARSM syllabus, which contains details of the exam requirements. Keyboard: Piano , Harpsichord, Organ Strings: Violin, Viola, Cello, Double Bass, Guitar, Harp (pedal only) Woodwind: Recorder, Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Bassoon, Saxophone Brass: Horn, Trumpet, Cornet, Flugelhorn, Eb Horn, Trombone, Bass Trombone, Baritone, Euphonium, Tuba Percussion Singing Validity of this specification This specification is valid from January 2020, and will be reviewed again in January 2021. We may change or add to this specification from time to time. The latest version will be available fromwww.abrsm.org . 3 About this qualification Overview Qualification objectives ARSM (Associate of the Royal Schools of Music) is a performance diploma from ABRSM. The ARSM is designed to showcase performance skills after Grade 8, and to help bridge the gap between Grade 8 and DipABRSM. Who the qualification is for The ARSM is for instrumentalists and singers of any age who have already passed Grade 8. There are no written or spoken elements and no scales, sight-reading or aural tests, making it a very accessible exam. Progression route Candidates who successfully complete Grade 8 can progress on to one of ABRSM’s higher-level qualifications, initially the ARSM and DipABRSM diplomas. The performance-only ARSM (www.abrsm.org/specifications) diploma bridges the gap between Grade 8 and DipABRSM, providing candidates with an opportunity to develop their performance technique and interpretative skills, while focusing on programme building and extending their repertoire. Through a combination of live and written components, candidates at DipABRSM, and the later LRSM and FRSM levels, demonstrate their performance, communication and research skills, as well as their musical knowledge and understanding. DipABRSM and LRSM each progress to the next level. Further details of these can be found at www.abrsm.org/diplomas. As candidates move up through the diploma levels they will find that the repertoire becomes more demanding, the exam time lengthens, and the challenge of the requirements, and the scope and length of the written work, increase.

But no practice, custom, or Old Wives Warning is so firmly adhered to as ‘The Turning of the Key’. Every year, on the last night of winter, as the first day of spring unfolds, the townsfolk gather to take part in a strange ritual. They meet in the centre of the town square, where a statue bearing the likeness of a young girl stands, poised and still, one hand raised as if to toast the sky. Constance has stood in the square for as long as any can remember. And she is never more lifelike than tonight.
