I’m so pleased to announce that I have successfully earned my Associate of the American Guild of Organists certificate and can now add some more letters after my name! I took the 7-hour exam earlier this month in Portland, ME (spread over two days). In addition to performing organ repertoire, the exam involved keyboard tests, ear tests, and many written exercises.
Now that I’ve earned the certificate, it means I am eligible to try for the next step up, the FAGO exam (Fellow), or its U.K. equivalent, the FRCO. We’ll see what the future holds…
