The ARS Playing it Safe bimonthly virtual event newsletter inspired him to sign up for a 2nd level ARS course on continuing technique for alto players. He is tempted by many of the summer workshops listed in the newsletter and hopes to be ready to try one soon.
Finally, he jumped at the chance to follow the AR magazine article on how to practice. The multi-part article, “Learn how to get better – discover the art of practicing” helped him get a handle on how to become the recorder player he dreams of being! See the American Recorder Practice Project online.
Do you have someone you could inspire to take up recorder? You can help start them on an activity that can prove to be life changing and a source of joy, satisfaction, and new friends for many years. The ARS offers many tools that make it easy to join the recorder world. You can spread the joy and ARS resources will help!
In the words of Henry Ford:
“Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty.
Anyone who keeps learning stays young.
The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.”
