What We Do

These are the things that recorder players do in Colorado:
• We use this website to find out what recorder activities are happening in Colorado and how to join in. The calendar is especially useful!
• Friends form groups, which play for their own enjoyment or for the public.
• ARS chapters hold monthly playing meetings, September through May, where people make new friends and start or join a playing group.
• ARS chapters welcome visitors and invite them to play along (even if they don’t hit all the right notes).
• We organize special “newbies” playing sessions where new players can get started.
• We encourage players of all ages.
• Small and large groups perform for the public during national “Play the Recorder Month” in March of each year.
• We publish a monthly newsletter that you can view or download at www.denverrecordersociety.org.
• We organize weekend workshops with special teachers from other parts of the country as we try to increase our skills.
• Some of us play recorders of all sizes and others only play one size, soprano, alto, tenor or bass.
• We use the Regis University library for music. Regis has a large and growing library of recorder music, available directly or through your local library. Here is information about how to access the library.
• Sometimes we just have a party with music!
