Mama Melodies is the first programme informed by Melodies for Mums, to be conducted outside Europe. It is facilitated by Singapore music artists, drawing on songs that resonate with our local communities, and with sensitivity to our unique culture and context.

A 10-weeks programme, Mama Melodies is designed to help mothers improve mood and wellbeing. Participants can connect with other mums, gain confidence, and bond with their baby in a safe and relaxed environment. No singing experience required.
