Pipe Organ Exams

[Krummhorn]

Hi Krummhorn - depending on the grade I take, they differ. Would you be interested in a link to the syllabus?.

Hi Jonesey,

Yes, please. It would be good to know what kinds of pieces are being used for the examinations abroad, too.

Jonesey, thanks for the link, interesting stuff. I'll try and remember to write some of the AMEB's organ syllabus. What grade are you at?

I can't get it.

Hi Jonesey,

Thanks for that link ... lots of useful information there and certainly a great reference site.

Hi CT - not at any grade yet but will probably start at G4.
I've done the Piano exams from grades 2 - 8, so wanted to start lower than G5 to get the pedal scales etc correct!!!!

Jonesey - having played piano as you state, you'll be miles ahead of someone learning the organ from scratch (in some ways). The pedals are not such a big deal once and I saw once you get your mental map going.

C H Trevor wrote a good book about learning the organ, I recommend it.
