Dear Parents/Guardians (5th-8th),
Hello! My name is Jolanta Wilson and I am the Lower School Music Teacher here at Charlotte
Lab School. This year I am implementing a new band program here at our school that will be
offered to students from grades 5-8. The Charlotte Lab School Lions Band will meet every
Tuesday and Thursday from 3:30-4:30 in the Music Room. No experience necessary! It's
absolutely free to be in band-all you would have to do is provide your own instrument and I can
most certainly help you out with the best options out there. Learning to play an instrument is an
immensely rewarding experience and I personally cannot recommend it enough!
Band is an excellent experience for anyone looking to be involved in music. It can become a
hobby, a passion, or even a lifelong pursuit. In any music ensemble, musicians learn discipline,
artistic expression, and cooperative skills. Band is one of the best ways for any student to get
involved in group activity, meet new people, and make lasting connections.
Attached, you will find a student interest form along with the instrument interest. All you need to
do is provide information requested along with checking off the instrument your child is most
interested in learning to play. If possible, please have the interest form back to me by
September 14. I would love to have an idea of the number of members and instrumentation that
the Lab Lions Band will have. First rehearsal is September 29.
Thank you so much and I hope that we will have a fun and thriving band program here at
Charlotte Lab School in the very near future!
Jolanta Wilson
