ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Before the rest of the school year arrives, Kelly Roller is getting her fourth-grade band class warmed up. She's reviewing the notes they’ll need for a perfect harmony. 

Playing alongside the fourth-graders are their teachers. 

"We always tease every band teacher saying, 'When are we going to get lessons?' She was the first to take us up on it," said Tonya Luna, a fifth-grade special education teacher at Geneva. 

Most of the teachers have never played an instrument until now, like Head Start teacher Jill Sutton, who decided to play trumpet this year as a way to bond with her own kids. 

"We have rock sessions at home each night. They tell me how good or bad I was," said Sutton. 

Teachers are paired with students, who make sure they’re hitting the right notes. 

"I wanted to show that productive struggle we still have as adults still have productive struggle in our learning," said Roller. 

But as the class hits the final notes of "Hot Cross Buns," there’s no better feeling. 

"You’re never too old to learn something new," said Roller. "I think that’s really important for our students to see and powerful for our adults."
