One of the big challenges facing parents today is how to nurture emotional wellbeing in their children as they learn to live in our rapidly growing technological world.
This heart-touching issue about raising lifetime values is at the core of Musical Island, wherein author Natalie Mitz, a passionate musician and theatre practitioner for more than 20 years, envisages music as a powerful means of instilling emotional wellbeing and a positive mindset in children and adults alike.
The Musical Island plot showcases the dramatic potential of each character in a classic moral crisis. The misunderstood Silence, a witch, attempts to use her magical abilities to silence the music in the souls of her victims in her quest to destroy music forever. Prince Major, the happiest and loudest inhabitant of the island, suddenly disappears, leaving the community devoid of their tunefulness. No one is able to help except the initially shy but heroic Princess Minor who, with her band of friends, discovers the magical tune to break Silence's spell. Princess Minor's journey teaches young readers important lessons about moral courage, self-belief, teamwork and forgiveness.
The introduction of musical concepts as part of the character development in the novel Musical Island aids in igniting a child's curiosity and imagination, while also serving as an educational tool to help them learn some basic musical concepts.
A story of courageous characters, adventure and harmony of all kinds, Musical Island leads readers down the path to emotional wellbeing, using music as the path.
