American Recorder Society
The mission of the American
Recorder Society is to promote the recorder and its music by developing
resources and standards to help people of all ages and ability levels to play
and study the recorder, to present the instrument to new constituencies, to
encourage increased career opportunities for professional recorder performers
and teachers, and to enable and support recorder playing as a shared social
experience. Society members gather and play together at chapter meetings,
weekend and summer workshops, and many ARS-sponsored events throughout the year.
Here is an example of a family in Little Rock playing recorders for their
personal enjoyment:
The American Recorder Society publishes a journal, the
American
Recorder, a newsletter, a personal study program, a directory, and special
music editions.

On August 21, 1999, a program, entitled "Recorder Sampler", was
presented on Public Radio Station KLRE-FM 90.5. Chris Cooke and Laurine
Williams organized and wrote the script. Previously (March 20, 1998),
Chris Cooke, Laurine Williams, and Shelley Wold were interviewed by Ann
Nicholson on her weekly arts program, "The Arts Scene."
