Michelle Williams: Hi, I am Michelle Williams. We are at Foxes Music Company and we are learning to play the recorder and this time I am going to teach you how to play "Merrily we roll along". It consists of the same three notes as "When the Saints go marching in" B, A and G. So, here we go. Now play at a little slower speed so you can get used to the fingering and it start off with quarter notes. Now I will go on and the next time I will teach you about how to play "When the Saints go marching in" on the recorder.
