Specially designed singing classes are clinically effective at treating mums with postnatal depression, a major three-year study has found. The authors say they could also be cost effective for the NHS at a time when mental health services are under pressure.

But at this music class there are no bells or tambourines and no Wheels on the Bus or Baby Shark.
