The Denver Chapter of the ARS
celebrated Play the Recorder Month with a concert at
a local shopping mall. For more pictures from this
year's celebrations in Denver and elsewhere,

Recorder players
from across North America celebrate March as
Play-the-Recorder Month. Many ARS chapters plan
special concerts and presentations to illustrate the
versatility and beauty of this wonderful instrument.
March 15, 2008, was designated "Recorder Day," when
individuals and chapters around the world were
encouraged to play Matthis Maute's Recorder Rally.
Laurie Tretter, an elementary music specialist in
the Mehlville School District in suburban St. Louis,
created a lesson plan for Elementary B-A-G Soprano
Recorder Composition for Play-the-Recorder-Month.
The plan included two pieces composed by
fourth-grade students. You can download the lesson
plans, videos of the students playing, and midis of
their compositions by
clicking here.
Other schools were invited to create their own
compositions using Ms Tretter's B-A-G lesson plan.
Soon, you will be able to click here to see the
compositions from other schools or students.
Chapters and consorts have submitted event reports
on their activities and those entries are now being
judged to determine the winners of prizes in the
"Most Creative Event" contest.
