A Proud Chapter of the American Recorder Society
Welcome to the Princeton Recorder Society! We promote the appreciation of the recorder as a musical instrument through performance and instruction. With over fifty members, we are holding monthly playing sessions via ZOOM, but look forward to returning to live meetings in 2022.
PRS sponsors an annual, highly regarded, and well-attended annual spring workshop, all coached by leading professionals. Due to the continuing pandemic issues, we are not scheduling a workshop for 2022.
This special online workshop will be offered Live via ZOOM from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. April 23, 2022.
Using his book on "free ornamentation" in late baroque solo music –– "The Grammar of Ornamentation" –– Mr. Haas, a noted recorder composer, author, and sales manager at Von Huene Workshops, will guide participants in the understanding and application of single note figures such as trills, stepwise motion around a melody, and leaps such as chord tones, etc. He will provide instruction for practicing figures and how to apply them to slow movements of solo Baroque sonatas.
Participants will need to be able to play alto recorder and be reasonably comfortable with Baroque solo music.
The fee for this special event sponsored by the Princeton Recorder Society is $15. Soft cover or digital downloads of Mr. Haas's book can be purchased through Von Huene Workshops. Visit
