Listen Up! Music

Listen Up! Music is a non-profit day program of Creative Trails that supports adult musicians with intellectual disabilities in making music. Listen Up! Music is a program of Creative Trails, a Portland-based non-profit. We operate out of a studio space on Warren Avenue called Listen Up! Studios and support musicians in all aspects of the therapeutic music-making process - from writing, arranging, and recording songs to editing, remixing, and marketing work to the musical community. The program gives emphasis to the importance of deeply listening to music, to each other, and to the surrounding world. Through instrument exploration, lyric-writing, and even found-sound collecting, we seek to make music that is meaningful, accessible, and fun. Listen Up! is always seeking donations of musical instruments and equipment, and would love to host workshops or visit the studios of other musicians!
