It's a place where young mums can sing and connect, without having to worry about childcare, as children are welcome The children are also enjoying the benefits of song during the choir session

It can be even more rewarding if you're a mum, juggling the demands of looking after young children and struggling to find time to socialise.

In a bid to create a space where women with small children could come together and sing — without having to worry about childcare — mother and musician Rose Wilson recently started a new choir at Port Macquarie, on the mid-north coast of New South Wales.

It's called SingaMumma and children are welcome.

"I've been thinking about it for a long time," Ms Wilson said.

"I just always wanted to make this space; it's beautiful coming together and it's something for mums.

"It can be quite hard to always take your children into different spaces."

The choir gathers in a Port Macquarie community hall and it's already popular.

"I like to get out of the house, meet other mums and sing," said mother Heather Hirst.

"Even if I've had a rough night and hardly any sleep, I know I can come along and just sing and be among friends and have a good time."

Bianca Bateman also enjoys singing in the choir and brings her young daughter.

"I think singing brings out joy in people and it's also very convenient to bring my child with me," she said.

"It's great to get together with the other mums and we laugh a lot as well.

"It makes me feel amazing to hear all the harmonies together, it's a very joyful experience, and my daughter loves it and sings a lot at home as well."

Olivia Woollard said the choir felt very welcoming.

"I've always wanted to enjoy a choir, but it just wouldn't be possible otherwise with two small kids," she said.

"I feel really safe singing in this place."

Children love being immersed in choir sounds

Ms Wilson said having children and babies present created a different energy from a standard choir, but it was benefitting both the mums and the children.

During the morning the ABC visited the choir, the children seemed to love the beautiful acapella songs and harmonies which resonated around the hall.

Sybil Juzwiak Doyle said it was wonderful bringing her son and daughter.

"I just love it, I feel so good afterwards. I come with my two children and for them it's great as well, because they are listening to the music and often my daughter will sing in the car with me on the way home," she said.

"My baby usually lays down on the floor while everyone is singing and just takes it all in, it's beautiful."

Ms Wilson said children could sit with their mums, or play in the child-friendly space, or inside the singing circle.

"Sometimes the children will tune in and look up and other times they are off in their own glorious little lands," she said.

"We have different ages, our youngest is just weeks old, and we have up to five and six-year-olds, they all find their place and it works pretty well."

The choir is also providing new connections between generations.

"I have an older choir afterwards," Ms Wilson said.

"We have volunteer 'choir grannies' from that choir who come through and help and play with kids," she said.

"That's been a beautiful connection between the two choirs too, one of mostly older women and one of younger women."

At the end of each term there is also an overlap of those two choir sessions, creating a time where all the women can sing together, and also allowing the older choir to sing to the mums and children.

Ms Wilson said she expected the SingaMumma choir to keep growing and said no experience was needed.

"We wanted to start and build out slowly as it formed, as it can be a space that can get a bit chaotic with little ones," she said.

"Choirs are like these magical creatures that develop their own identity, so we are building out, and it's ever increasing and warm and lovely."
