Messy Music is a method that builds social emotional skills using Mil's Trills original songs and collaborative music-making experiences. It is a play-centered highly responsive approach that activates creativity free of judgement and criticism. With a focus on process over product and through a lens of curiosity and improvisation, Messy Music offers direct access into the arts and strengthens relationships with self and others.
