Back at the beginning of June, I took the Fellowship Exam of the American Guild of Organists. I just received my results in the mail.

If you are curious about the test you can read more in my blog post called “This is what you have to do to pass the AGO Fellowship Exam”.

Long Story Short

I passed “Section 1” and failed “Section 2”.

Section 1 is the organ playing and keyboard skills portion
Section 2 is the written examination

Next summer I will attempt Section 2 again!

Check out my score sheets below. I guess I need to brush up on my fugue writing…
