Online Singing Lessons for Mothers - Beginner Level

In this 18-week course, you will be learning different vocal techniques in Indian classical music that will help you keep your vocals healthy and strong and will also help you communicate with the fetus in a much more effective way. As a new mother, use these vocal techniques to calm your newborn when stressed or introduce music, harmonies, and even simple songs to them, as they grow, through the duration of this course. Research also suggests that the mother’s voice is more effective for the unborn child rather than external music or sounds because the mother’s voice reverberates within her own body, making it the first voice that the child recognizes and emotionally links itself to. It is both safe and healthy and an extremely positive exercise to continue singing during pregnancy. Using Indian classical music techniques and easy vocal exercises, the course will keep your singing spirit ignited as well as prepare the fetus to be more familiar with your voice. It is also important to remember that volumes should be kept at a slow, low level because the womb already has additional sounds and sudden, loud volumes may startle the baby. This course will also include various breathing exercises which help you to ease and sing as comfortably as possible.
