WHO IS Casey Muze
In a Longview church hall, a young East Texas boy—me, Casey Muze—already versed in drumming, seized the instrument as a turning point, shifting rhythm from casual play to healing medicine amid personal chaos and scars. That pivot, two decades ago, pulled me from substance shadows and sensory storms into purpose. Today, as a nationally known public speaker, I channel it into drumming therapy, bilateral sound interventions, and trauma-informed keynotes—lifelines for those in similar tempests.
I guide you, fractured by trauma at your most vulnerable: bearing childhood wounds, navigating neurodivergent sensory storms, or reliving pain in dementia’s haze.
Through rhythm-based interventions as a music therapist, seasoned keynote speaker, and mental health expert, I turn sound into sanctuary when words fail, leading from dysregulation to calm, clarity, and connection—one beat at a time, as in my AvenueSpeak LLC workshops with partners like Region 7 Education Service Center.
The connection is profound: trauma shatters; rhythm rebuilds—piercing defenses to mend the soul, forging trust, belonging, and thriving through story, science, and sound that equip, uplift, and empower lasting harmony.
Embrace The Journey of Unlearning to Relearn
Join him on a transformative journey through his compelling 2-part series. The 1st: The Pulse of Healing; the 2nd: Setting the Standard.
Muze dedicates his expertise to those fractured by early wounds: daycare youth carrying silent scars, neurodivergent individuals navigating sensory chaos, and dementia patients ensnared in cycles of unresolved grief—alongside the devoted educators, caregivers, and clinicians who sustain their fragile hope.
As a skilled music therapist, accomplished keynote speaker, and authority in mental health and music therapy, he delivers rhythm-based interventions that transform sound into a safe haven when words fail or harm. He guides restless toddlers, overwhelmed neurodivergent minds, and memory care residents from dysregulation to regulation, fostering clarity, connection, and calm through each healing beat.
The emotional bond is profound and restorative, for trauma dismantles identity, while rhythm rebuilds it. His methods penetrate defensive barriers to nurture the soul’s vulnerable pieces, cultivating unbreakable trust where betrayal once prevailed. They convert isolation into community, turning survivors into thrivers via story, science, and sound that equip, elevate, and empower enduring rebirth and sustained harmony.
The Pulse of Healing & Setting the Standard: A 2-Part Transformative Series
Embark on a profound journey of restoration and empowerment with Muze’s acclaimed 2-part series. Part 1: The Pulse of Healing explores the rhythmic foundations of emotional recovery, while Part 2: Setting the Standard establishes actionable frameworks for lasting mental wellness and therapeutic excellence.
Muze, a distinguished music therapist, keynote speaker, and expert in mental health and music therapy, serves those shattered by early trauma: young children in daycare bearing invisible scars, neurodivergent individuals overwhelmed by sensory overload, and dementia patients caught in cycles of unresolved grief. He extends his support to the dedicated educators, caregivers, and clinicians who uphold their delicate hope.
Through innovative rhythm-based interventions, Muze transforms sound into a sanctuary where words falter or inflict pain. He skillfully guides restless toddlers, distressed neurodivergent minds, and memory care residents from states of dysregulation to regulation, igniting clarity, connection, and calm with every therapeutic beat.
The emotional impact is deep and redemptive—trauma fractures identity, but rhythm reconstructs it. Muze’s approaches breach protective walls to embrace the soul’s fragmented essence, building unshakeable trust amid past betrayals. They alchemize isolation into belonging, evolving survivors into thrivers through integrated story, science, and sound that equip, uplift, and empower enduring rebirth and harmonious resilience.

Rise above emotional and mental obstacles Reframe destructive thought patterns Replace unworthiness with confidence and mistrust with hope
Rooted in cultural understanding and rich in spiritual insight, this session explores how trauma reshapes belief—and how storytelling, ritual, and community can help restore it. Together, we’ll illuminate the sacred role of positive belief, and how it fuels the resilience needed to recover, rise, and reconnect.

My 14 year old daughter has had trouble with writing about feelings and emotion due to autism and Casey really connected with her with his creative writing workshop. She was relaxed and responsive and learned so much that she will be able to use. She’s looking forward to the next one and even got resources to take home. He’s amazing!!

Mr. Casey’s writing workshop is more than just learning how to write. It’s learning how writing can help you in a therapeutic way to express how you feel, whether it be anger, fear, or happiness. It’s also a space that feels safe and open to talk about anything you feel, or are going through. It was a fun experience and I recommend for everyone to give it a try. I will definitely visit again. God bless!
Tailored Interventions
Casey Muze: Drummer
At AvenueSpeak LLC, our programs are designed with you and your community in mind—offering rhythm-based interventions that meet people where they are. Whether you’re nurturing little learners, supporting neurodivergent individuals, or caring for someone with dementia, our approach is built to serve with purpose and precision.
Through the power of bilateral hand drumming, participants experience more than music—they gain tools for emotional regulation, social connection, and cognitive engagement. These sessions help children build focus and adaptability, give neurodivergent individuals a safe outlet for expression, and offer those with dementia moments of clarity, joy, and connection.
Every rhythm is tailored. Every beat has intention. Because at AvenueSpeak, we believe healing should sound like hope.

We had Casey/AvenueSpeak at a large event for mentors and mentees in our mentoring program. All ages (kindergarteners up through retirees!) enjoyed Casey’s interactive teaching, beautiful drums, and spending time together learning something new. This was a great event, and I would recommend AvenueSpeak to anyone wanting something fun and unique for any age.
