Campbellsville Elementary School fifth-graders are learning to play songs on their recorders.

In Zach Shelton’s music class, students recently learned how to play notes on the recorder and are now learning to play songs.

Students are playing “Merrily We Roll Along,” while also learning to play a percussion pattern.

During a recent class, students took turns alternating between playing the song and the percussion pattern.
