Music

Music is a universal language.

Park Lane strongly believes in the importance of music and incorporates it throughout a student's years with us. Accordingly, music is central to our school culture.

At Park Lane, music extends well beyond the classroom as we have a wide range of enrichment opportunities available to students of all ages. Our youngest pupils receive a strong musical education and prepares them for the rigours of secondary school where graduates can complete the IGCSE music programme and the IB DP music programme. Extra-curricular activities both complement and enrich the lessons in the classroom.

Ensembles at Park Lane:

Park Lane Primary Choir
Secondary Vocal Ensemble
6 Rock Bands (after-school activity)
8 bands working within the music lessons

All of the above ensembles are given frequent opportunities to showcase themselves in school and in public. Most recently, our ensembles have performed at The British Chamber of Commerce, the Park Lane Prize-Giving Ceremonies, our Winter Market and International Day, PTA events, the Park Lane Matinée Classic. In addition, they have participated in international competitions in Spain and the Netherlands and, of course, at The Sound of Park Lane, our annual musical extravaganza held at the Prague Crossroads, a famous project undertaken by the Dagmar and Václav Havel Foundation.
