In 2023, Casey Muze brought rhythm, resilience, and trauma-informed music therapy to Region 7 Education Service Center—an influential hub serving school districts across East Texas. During a transformative two-day workshop, educators explored cognitive development strategies, emotional regulation through drumming, and classroom tools tailored for neurodivergent students. A now-iconic photo of Casey holding a giant pencil over an oversized sheet of paper captures the heart of the moment—a bold reminder that in education, we all have the power to write a bigger, more impactful story.

Whether you’re a therapist, educator, or parent, learn how rhythmic activities can unlock new growth in every learner.
🟣 Before the Stage, There Was the Floor.
Before I had the words to explain what I was feeling…
I had rhythm.
Before I knew what healing meant…
I had rhythm.
And before the world handed me titles, microphones, or stages…
I had a spoon in one hand and a pot in the other —
playing my way into peace.
What looked like noise to others was my first form of therapy.
Every day, for one hour, I was allowed to return to those same pots and pans.
That daily rhythm helped me regulate, express, and breathe.
It saved me long before I ever knew what I was being saved from.
I didn’t learn healing in a textbook —
I learned it barefoot on a kitchen floor in Longview, Texas.
And today, I carry that same rhythm into schools, memory care communities, mental health spaces, and stages across the country.
Because rhythm still speaks where words fall short.
🟣 This is the pulse of healing.

I need you to know: you’d be surprised what happens when Grandma gets a drum.
No, really — I’ve watched it unfold time and time again, and it never gets old. A quiet room. A hesitant crowd. Then… tap, tap, tap.
What starts as sound turns into something sacred.
Smiles return. Eyes brighten. Memories stir. That drum becomes more than just an instrument — it becomes a key. A key to joy, connection, and purpose.
Because when Grandma gets a drum, she doesn’t just make music.
She comes alive.
I need you to know that today, I was powerfully reminded of why I do what I do. It started with two heartfelt messages that arrived separately, yet woven together, they sparked a deep reflection on my passion for music and mentorship as tools for transformation.
In the midst of bustling events, with drums echoing and young hearts buzzing with excitement, it can be easy to get swept away by the moment. But then, in a quiet instant—a notification on my phone or a message in my inbox—I found myself grounded again in the significance of this journey. These moments of connection remind me of the impact we can have on each other’s lives, and it fuels my commitment to this path. Believing. 💖🎶 #PurposeDriven #MentorshipMatters
