What happens at a session
Each workshop is led by a singing teacher from Rayhan Tee Vocal Studios, with a pianist.
Arrive and settle
Find a seat and park the pram. No rush if you're running late.
Breathe and warm up
Gentle breathing and voice warm-ups, with tips on looking after your voice.
Sing together
Easy acoustic versions of popular songs. Nobody sings alone unless they want to.
Stay and chat
Time at the end to talk with other mums who are in the same early weeks as you.
Feed, change, rock or step out whenever you need to. Babies are allowed to drown us out.
Why singing?
Singing groups for new mums have been studied in the UK since 2015: mums who were finding the early months hard felt better faster than those in play groups, and the difference lasted for months.1,2 The researchers think it helped mums bond with their babies and get to know other mums.
New Mums Sing borrows the idea from one of those groups, Melodies for Mums in London.

Questions mums ask
If yours isn't here, email us.
Is it really free?
Yes. New Mums Sing is supported by the SG Partnerships Fund, so there's nothing to pay.
Do I need to be able to sing?
No. You don't need to sing well, or in tune.
Can I bring my baby?
Yes, babies are welcome at every session. You're also welcome to come on your own.
Can my partner come?
Yes. Partners are welcome to join in or just sit with baby.
What if my baby cries?
You won't be the first. Everyone in the room understands, and you can feed, change or step out at any time.
Do I have to come every time?
No. Book the dates you can make. We ask you to book each one so we know how many chairs to put out.
Is this therapy?
No, it's a singing workshop. If you're struggling, please speak to your doctor.
