We build every plan around the child (or grown-up) in front of us: their age, their goals, and whether they're playing purely for joy, working toward a certificate, or dreaming of the spotlight.
Natalie Mitz doesn't just teach from a method book. She's a working pianist and theatre director who still gets up on stage herself each season with Musical Island Productions. That's the same stage your child could be standing on next, in front of family, friends and a real audience.
In-studio, online, or at home in Brighton-Le-Sands. Available in English and Russian.
From first-time beginners to advanced players, in classical or contemporary style, at a pace that suits the student.
Classical and contemporary technique, breath work and confidence-building for stage, exams, or simply singing better.
Reading, ear training and composition fundamentals that make every other instrument easier to learn.
Structured preparation from Preliminary through to Certificate of Performance, for piano and voice.
Drama, singing, dance and confidence-building for ages 6 to 15, building toward our full-scale stage productions.
See the shows →"Revive and Refresh" for adults returning to an instrument, and "Singing for Your Heart," a gentler program for wellbeing.
"Teaching became my platform to create, learn and improvise, for children and adults alike."
Natalie Mitz founded Musical Island Talent School in Sydney in 2012, after training in Russia (Bachelor of Education, Drama) and completing master's studies in Australia in Music and Linguistics. She teaches in both English and Russian. Alongside teaching, she's a pianist, composer and theatre director who writes and stages the original Musical Island Productions shows, and that hands-on stage experience shapes how she teaches every single lesson. She's also the author of Musical Island, a children's book that grew out of the same story world as her stage productions.
