Live Lessons: Casey teaches banjo in Nashville, Tenn. If you're passing through town and want to stop by for a lesson, just shoot her an email. If you're local and want to sign up for regular lessons, you can do that, too. She teaches by ear, no tab or music reading required.
Online Lessons: If you're not near Nashville, you can still get some face-to-face instruction via webcam. Online lessons take advantage of today's technology, which allows teachers and students to connect no matter where they are in the world. Skype, iChat, and AIM all work. This option is especially great if you don't have a banjo teacher in your area.
Custom Lessons: If you've been working with The Murphy Method DVDs, you'll already be familiar with Casey's teaching style. Sometimes there's a song that you really want to learn, but it's not on any DVD. Casey can do a lesson for almost any song you're interested in, for just $30. To order, just email Casey which songs you'dlike.
