ARS introduces our next Free Online Beginners' Course for Soprano/Tenor! If you have never played recorder before, or if it has been eons ago since you have played, this is the course for you! Build a solid foundation for learning soprano/tenor through this 4-part beginners’ course starting on January 16, 2024. Professional recorder player and teacher, Emily O'Brien, will cover basics such as hand and finger position, tonguing, and tone, and instill good habits for continuing to learn on your own or with a teacher. All ages are welcome, but children should be joined by an adult during the classes.

Do you need to purchase an instrument? You cannot go wrong with a good plastic recorder—they can actually sound better than a poor wooden one! Yamaha and Aulos make very good plastic sopranos. For tenors: Yamaha provides an exceptional tone, while Aulos is lighter-weight with a smaller reach. Consider purchasing an instrument from one of our business partners:
