Welcome to our creative hub -

a place to explore languages,

art and music in harmony.

The Heart of SthSide Project

SthSide Project is where music, languages, and art meet.

We began with only piano lessons, but quickly grew into a space for creativity in many forms, lessons that cross languages, workshops that mix paint with conversation, courses that prepare you to step into another culture with confidence.

Here, learning is about connection. Piano in English, Spanish, German, or Serbo-Croatian. Japanese and Spanish for travellers. Bilingual art workshops that bring cultures to life.

Based in Melbourne’s South (hence SthSide) around Balaclava, Elwood and St Kilda East, we’re a small community of multilingual friends with a big love for creativity, culture, and play.
