ABRSM and Music Mark strengthen partnership to support music education

Schools across the country will benefit from School Membership, a new strand of Music Mark membership sponsored by ABRSM, which will support and connect music educators in the development of high quality teaching and learning in music.

Jem Shuttleworth, General Manager at Music Mark said: ‘All of our members recognise the value of music and its positive contribution to a broad, balanced and relevant curriculum. We are delighted to now be able to support existing and developing partnerships that many schools have with their local Music Service alongside providing easy access to our memberships’ expertise, experience and extensive knowledge of music education.’ Membership is now open and schools can join through their local Music Service.

The evolving strategic partnership between ABRSM and Music Mark, following the success of their 2014 roadshows, is designed to help deliver a more coherent and higher quality music education for children and young people.

Lincoln Abbotts, Director of Strategic Development at ABRSM said: ‘This is a strategic partnership putting young people at the centre – we all care about supporting and inspiring the next generation of performers, teachers, leaders and advocates. A more joined up approach to music making – in and out of school – leads to a better outcome for children and young people.’
