Our music programs are characterised by rigorous learning challenges, and students discover that sustained effort can lead to the mastery of skills and reward for hard work.

Music is at the heart of The Hamilton and Alexandra College, a fact woven into our history and culture. And one illustrated by each year’s hotly contested and always sold-out House Music competition.
