Singing Mamas - FREE taster at Chippenham Library
2026-02-09 10:30 - 11:30 | Chippenham Library
Singing Mamas groups are supportive spaces to meet, connect and sing beautiful group harmony with NO musical experience needed. There’s no sheet music or lyrics sheets, everything is taught by ear and we’ll have toys to keep the teeny ones busy while you enjoy some singing. Come as you are and take some time for you!
If you’d like to learn some songs that aren’t traditional nursery rhymes, if you love singing but can’t get to a choir because you’d need to bring your little one(s), if you’d like to meet other mums, if you’d just like to get out of the house and brighten up a February morning then this is the perfect session for you!
This free taster at Chippenham library will be around an hour long and will give you a really good flavour of what Singing Mamas is all about. There aren’t any tickets but please let us know if you’re planning on coming. RSVP to secure your free space by calling Chippenham Library on 01249 650536 or by emailing singingmamas.nwilts@gmail.com.
