Music

In the music department at Bingley Grammar School we follow a highly practical approach to lessons.

Music is a universal language that rises above boundaries using a unique form of communication to help pupils express what they think and feel. Pupils are taught a range of engaging and enjoyable topics to create enthusiastic learners and promote a love of music.
