Resumes Weds 3rd September
Singing Mamas is a national, grassroots not for profit community interest movement set up to improve women's wellbeing, and babies and children are welcome. Singing is a proven way to improve mood, reduce stress, soothe your nervous system and find connection with yourself and others.
No experience of singing or music making is needed. All songs and harmonies are taught by ear, line by line with call and response at a comfortable pace until everyone knows them by heart.
Join us for some beautiful simple harmony singing every Wednesday in term time.
Sessions cost £7 or £6 if you block book.
Some free spaces are reserved for those who need them, click here to email Jemma to book your free place, no fuss.

The classes include lots of percussion instruments to play on, visual projections, lights and bubbles!
