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!
