For best results, enter only your zip code and a radius of miles you're willing to travel. Adding any other parameters will limit the search.

Are you ready to join an ARS chapter? Use the General Directory to see if there’s a chapter near you. Are you looking for a teacher in your area, or a teacher who offers online instruction? Again, the General Directory can help you find the sort of teacher you're seeking. Are you simply looking for other recorder players in your area because you’re hoping to join or form a consort? The Member Directory enables ARS members to search for players within a specified distance from a location, whether home or away. 

Are you planning a major move to a new city or state? Are you planning a trip that might include recorder playing? Do you travel to a different part of the country in winter or summer for an extended stay? Use the Member Directory to identify recorder players or find a chapter near the alternate location. 

Find an ARS Chapter or ARS Members Near You

Anyone can find nearby ARS Chapters by using the ARS website General Directory map feature to pinpoint a location. Initiate a search by specifying a state or city, for example, and then use the "Business Category" menu to refine the display. ARS members can find other individual members by logging into the website and using the Member Directory. Searching directly from the map (pictured) is also possible. 

Look for a Recorder Teacher or a Recorder Orchestra

To find a recorder teacher, anyone can use the General Directory Search and select from one of two Business Categories, either “Offers Online Recorder Instruction” or “Recorder Teachers.” You can find eleven recorder orchestras in the ARS directory by selecting the “Recorder Orchestras” Business Category in the General Directory Search. Again, for best results, enter only your zip code and a radius of miles you're willing to travel.

Explore Workshop Opportunities or Go Shopping

If you’re thinking about attending a summer workshop, now’s the time to consider the options. Start with the General Directory Search and select the Workshop Partners business category, where you can search for a specific workshop or peruse the list. You’ll see contact information and links to the workshop or festival websites.

Maybe you’re shopping for a new or used recorder or a particular genre of music. ARS Business members offer recorders, accessories, and sheet music. On the General Directory Search page, select the category aptly named “Business” and the list of businesses will appear together with website links and contact information.  

The ARS provides these resources to support and inform our recorder community, whether members are seeking fellow members, or anyone is seeking teachers, instruments, or group playing possibilities. Take a few minutes to check out these resources and see where your exploration leads you.
