Hope for the Future

“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the power, and the passion to reach the stars to change the world. Music is the language of the spirit. It opens the secret of life bringing peace, abolishing strife.”

“Where words leave off, music begins.”

MLSE, Inc.® is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt public foundation dedicated to uplifting children through therapeutic music. MLSE® is based in Altus, OK and serves Jackson County and surrounding counties and Children’s Centers across the State of Oklahoma. Music is a universal language that fosters hope and connection, and we harness its therapeutic effects to change children’s lives and make a positive impact on our local community. By sharing the blessed gift of music, we not only soothe the soul but also build self-esteem.

Our founder and president, Roger A. Pittman, started MLSE, Inc.® and began promoting community therapeutic music because of his last conversation with Lacy, his daughter. She asked, “Dad, you are so good with music and children, why aren’t you using your talents and passion for kids to give back to them?”

Little did he know that would be the last conversation that he would have with her before her tragic car accident at the age of 17. That was the beginning of our musical journey.

Therapeutic music benefits individuals with physical and behavioral disorders by allowing them to engage with music, which is an integral part of our society that holds intrinsic value. Every culture worldwide uses music to heal. The importance of therapeutic music in our inner souls is massive, and the value of music in shaping individual abilities and character is beyond evident.
