Hi Hoa Thai

Shouldn't it be: 'Our class teacher played a song on the piano.' ?

I'm afraid I agree with Anon. I would suggest as the most natural:

(a) Our class teacher played a song on the piano.

(b) We entertained the children with some songs.

The above Anon post is mine. Nowadays, it seems the forum members have to sign in very often.
