MTB is an OFQUAL-regulated music exam board that brings a modern and flexible approach to graded exams. A standout feature is their Free Choice Approval Service, allowing students to perform any piece or song they genuinely love—if it meets grade criteria. This keeps students engaged, inspired, and progressing towards recognised qualifications.

ABRSM is one of the world’s leading music exam boards and is regulated by OFQUAL. Their key highlight is a well-balanced and structured syllabus that develops all-round musicianship. With a strong focus on technical skills, sight-reading, and aural training, ABRSM exams are ideal for students aiming for a comprehensive classical music education.
