ABRSM 2023 & 2024
Published in June 2022, the ABRSM 2023 & 2024 syllabus can be used for exams from January 2023 and, as there is a full one-year overlap period, throughout 2025. In the same way, the 2021 & 2022 syllabus can be used throughout 2023.
There are now 13 pieces in each of the 3 lists, 7 of which have been retained from the 2021 & 2022 syllabus (nos. 4-10). The scales and arpeggios remain unchanged.
You may like to visit the ABRSM's website to download the syllabus and see what's new.
