J.W. Arnold Elementary School Teacher Joanne Maples patiently went through each note of a song about the "Sounds of the Sea," with a class of second-graders on Wednesday, taking time to teach her students how each note sounds.

After a few minutes of reviewing, then practicing a note, Maples congratulated her pupils and proclaimed that they could read music. "Good job everyone," she said. "You've learned how to read music. You know, my husband didn't have music when he was in elementary school, and now, he doesn't know how to read music ... You second-graders are learning to do something that my 59-year-old husband never got a chance to learn."
