We are delighted to announce that Voice Study Centre alumna, Brunella Govetto is presenting at the Music and Parental Wellbeing Symposium (MPWS) taking place at the Royal College of Music London and online on 22-23 July 2025!
Presentation:
Melodies of Motherhood: investigating the impact of singing on maternal wellbeing and parent-infant relationship
Brunella’s research investigates the effects of integrating singing into daily routines to enhance maternal well-being and strengthen the parent-infant bond. She conducted studies in the form of singing workshops with new mothers, followed by in-depth interviews with participants and published experts. Qualitative data analysis focused on understanding how singing acts as a communicative and supportive tool, enhancing maternal well-being and mother-baby bond.
Her aim is to present evidence-based findings highlighting the correlation between maternal emotional health and child development outcomes, emphasising singing’s multifaceted benefits for promoting emotional support for mothers.
Wonderful work, congratulations Brunella!
