For organists who wonder whether advanced diplomas really matter, Jacobson makes a clear case for the Royal College of Organists exams. Where American degree programs often center on repertoire, the FRCO forced him to master underemphasized skills such as sight-reading, C-clefs, transposition, figured bass, and improvisation at a high level, sharpening the practical tools he uses every week as a working church musician and choral collaborator.
