School Directors

Casey and Samantha Thomas

After picking up the piano at age 19, Casey overcame the fear that it was too late for him to pursue music as a career. While attending UNT and graduating with a Hospitality Management degree, he studied and focused on classical, jazz, blues, composition and improvisation. After graduating, he moved to Seattle and became immersed in Seattle’s rich and progressive music culture where he integrated with local talent and collaborated with popular performers and songwriters.

Samantha Thomas is a singer/songwriter originally from Houston. She is a certified Texas Teacher and graduated with a degree in Early Childhood Education from Texas A&M University. She grew up studying the piano and began learning the guitar at a later age.

After college, she moved to Nashville where she worked with youth bands and gained valuable experience in the music business and songwriting community. She returned to work as a guitar/songwriting instructor for The National Guitar Workshop's Day Jams Camp in Houston. She is very enthusiastic and passionate about music and teaching children of all ages and encourages creativity hand in hand with skill development. Now she runs the day-to-day operations here at Creative Soul.

Casey and Samantha married in June 2008 and together they are committed to growing a music community here in Fort Worth.
