Muse [X] Academy Signs Landmark MOU with ABRSM, Marking a New Era for Music Education in Thailand

Bangkok, 4 May 2026 — Muse [X] Academy is proud to announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM), one of the world's most respected music examination boards. This landmark agreement, signed on 30 April 2026, represents one of the most significant milestones in the Academy's history and signals a transformative step forward for music education in Thailand and across Southeast Asia.

A Partnership Built on Excellence The MoU establishes a formal framework for collaboration between Muse [X] Academy and ABRSM, with a shared mission to advance music education standards, expand access to internationally recognised qualifications, and support professional development for music educators throughout the region. The agreement carries a three-year term, with annual reviews to ensure its objectives continue to be met. What This Partnership Means Under this agreement, Muse [X] Academy will work alongside ABRSM across several key areas. The Academy will pursue recognition as an authorised ABRSM Diploma Centre, with ABRSM providing direct guidance on the academic standards, facilities, and compliance requirements needed to achieve this status. The partnership will also see Muse [X] Academy serve as a supported environment for on-site examinations, video-based assessments, and ABRSM-aligned workshops — complementing ABRSM's existing examination operations in Thailand. Beyond examinations, both parties will collaborate on continuing professional development programmes for music educators, as well as recitals, showcases, competitions, and festivals designed to elevate student development and raise the profile of music education nationwide. Regional outreach through masterclasses and engagement with partner schools and music institutions across Thailand is also envisioned under this agreement. A Critical Milestone For Muse [X] Academy, this MoU with ABRSM is far more than a formal agreement — it is a declaration of the Academy's commitment to the highest international standards in music education. By aligning with ABRSM's globally recognised syllabuses, certification pathways, and professional frameworks, Muse [X] Academy strengthens its position as a leading institution for serious music students and educators in the region. Muse [X] Academy looks forward to building a deep and lasting partnership with ABRSM, and to the many opportunities this collaboration will bring to students, teachers, and the broader music community in Thailand and Southeast Asia.
