Its the British grading system. The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music. Thats pretty much all I know about it, since I live in Canada. Someone can expand on this... Personally I think the Canadian grading system makes more sence, but I'm biased, and I haven't seen in-depth how ABRSM works. I just think its better to have 10+1 grades, easier top classify peoples levels and pieces levels... just my estranged opinion

Anyway, The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music!
