Live/Skype Lessons: Casey teaches banjo in Winchester, Virginia. If you're passing through town and want to stop by for a lesson, just shoot her an email. If you want to sign up for regular lessons, either in person or via Skype or FaceTime, you can do that, too. She teaches by ear, no tab or music reading required.
Custom Lessons: If you've been working with The Murphy Method DVDs, you'll already be familiar with Casey's teaching style.

* I acknowledge that the titles of these tunes are racist. I've left them here because these are just banjo tunes, with no words associated with them. If I could think of a way to re-title them but still have everyone know what tunes I was refering to, I'd do that. Any ideas or suggestions appreciated.
