Breathe Melodies for Mums: Lambeth Taster Sessions for September 2025

This month, we’re delighted to be offering four free taster sessions for Breathe Melodies for Mums in Lambeth, giving new mothers the chance to experience the programme first-hand and see the benefits for themselves.

About Breathe Melodies for Mums

Breathe Melodies for Mums is a free, research-based singing programme designed for new mums who may be experiencing low mood or anxiety after the birth of their child. The sessions create a safe, nurturing space where women can reconnect with themselves, bond with their baby, and meet other mothers in their community.

Led by professional singing leaders, the sessions are uplifting, creative and supportive. There are no nursery rhymes, no pressure and no need to be a “good singer.” Every voice is welcome, and the focus is on how singing makes you feel. Sessions are open to mums with babies aged 0 – 9 months.

“I didn’t think I could sing, but it didn’t matter. It was such a supportive space where I could just be myself, and I made friends I’m still in touch with now.”

The Proven Power of Singing

Research led by the Royal College of Music and Imperial College London has shown that group singing can have a powerful impact on maternal mental health. Mothers who take part in singing programmes often experience faster improvements in symptoms of postnatal depression, as well as reductions in stress and anxiety.

Singing releases endorphins and oxytocin, chemicals in the brain that help improve mood, reduce stress, and enhance bonding with your baby. Sharing this experience with other mothers also creates a sense of community and belonging, which can be invaluable in the early months of motherhood.

In short, singing together is more than music, it’s a tonic for the soul.

“Singing together helped me bond with my baby in such a special way. Even now, I use the songs at home to soothe her, and it always works.”

Our free Lambeth taster sessions are a chance for mums with babies aged 0 – 9 months to enjoy a little of what our full 10-week programme offers. Many mothers tell us the sessions become a highlight of their week, giving them space to feel uplifted and supported.
