THURSDAY: Singing Group for Mums with Babies


Recommended Posts

Thula Mama - an acapella singing group for mums with pre-crawling babies.


Come and settle into a warm cosy sofa with your baby, be brought endless cups of tea and home-made cake, catch up with other mothers (who come back every week!) and sing exquisite songs and lullabies under the guidance of a mum who knows what you really need.


Thula Mama singing group is designed specifically to nourish the needs of mums as well as their babies. Far from a traditional baby music group, at Thula Mama the mothers sing chants, lullabies and songs from around the world in beautiful acapella harmony.


We believe that singing together is a way of developing a sense of community and is a grounding and confidence-building activity for mothers who can often feel very isolated.


Full of laughs, story-sharing, reviving singing, delicious cake and welcome release!


There are spaces for the next half term - starting this Thursday (26th). First session FREE, then ?10 per session, booking per half term. Sessions take place at my home in East Dulwich every Thursday morning between 10 and 11.30am.


Please email Elizabeth to book a free trial session: [email protected]

Id like to recommend Elisabeth's singing group. It's been an amazing experience for both me and my little toddler - she started singing at some point throughout the sessions ( she's 2 and 4 months) and she would constantly ask us to help her fall asleep to some of the gospel songs learnt . There was never enough of "Bella mama" and it was amazing to see her passion for singing coming through at such a young age.By now her repertoire has evolved and we can ofte hear her getting her teddies to sleep with her lovely voice :)

I'm not a great singer but I love singing and we want to expose our daughter to a lot of music since it seems to help calm her a bit ... it was also lovely to have a cuppa and chill and all the mums we met were really lovely.

I would also highly recommend this group. I have been going with my 4 month old since September, you really do get a warm welcome, a chance to chat with other mums and Elizabeth is great at putting you at ease for the singing. Apart from the fab home made cakes (that are delicious!), the singing is the best bit though! Lovely soothing lullabies, perfect for babies and some more unusual melodies that sound beautiful as a small group, and some really catchy tunes you find yourself humming all week. The babies all seem to be captivated by it, and it's a great uplifter for you. If you are unsure - try it. You just have to enjoy singing,not be perfect at it.....I'm certainly not!

Highly recommended, we will be back for the next term (and more lemon shortbread please Elizabeth...)!

Just to say that this really is a lovely group. I've been a going to the group for the last half term and look forward to it every week. It's really nurturing and friendly and a good way to meet other mums. Best of all no twinkle twinkle little star but lovely songs from all over the world...I spend the rest of the week singing them to my baby before I get some new ones at the next session. All the babies seem really blissed out during the sessions...we seem to have very few tantrums or hysterics! I'm not a good singer but Elizabeth is very encouraging and teaches the songs in a way that anyone can pick up. Definitely recommended! Cake 10/10!!

I absolutely love thyrsday morning singing with Elizabeth, such a warm and friendly environment that puts me in a lovely mood for the day (even if i am sleep deprived!!). Such beautiful songs that my baby loves. Elizabeth is the best host and her home is so welcoming. It is by far the baby group i look forward to the most!

    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.            
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
