ABRSM Diploma, Licentiate Diploma and Fellowship
ABRSM offers diplomas in three disciplines:
- Music performance
- Music direction
- Instrumental/vocal teaching
For each discipline there are three levels of award:
- DipABRSM (Diploma(te) of The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music)
- LRSM (Licentiate of the Royal Schools of Music)
- FRSM (Fellow(ship) of the Royal Schools of Music)
These are professional qualifications, and entitle the recipient to append the letters after his or her name. The prerequisite for DipABRSM is Grade 8 in the instrument offered, and LRSM and FRSM require the previous diploma in the same discipline to have been passed. In addition, for the Instrumental/Vocal Teaching discipline, candidates for DipABRSM must have Grade 6 Theory, and Grade 8 Theory for LRSM.

Famous quotes containing the words diploma and/or fellowship:
“Our father has an even more important function than modeling manhood for us. He is also the authority to let us relax the requirements of the masculine model: if our father accepts us, then that declares us masculine enough to join the company of men. We, in effect, have our diploma in masculinity and can go on to develop other skills.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
“And sometimes I remember days of old
When fellowship seemed not so far to seek,
And all the world and I seemed much less cold,
And at the rainbow’s foot lay surely gold,
And hope felt strong, and life itself not weak.”
—Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)
