Bert Casey has been a professional performer and teacher in the Atlanta area for over 35 years. Bert plays several instruments (acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass guitar, mandolin, banjo, ukulele, and flute) and has written eight instructional books (Acoustic Guitar Primer, Acoustic Guitar Book 2, Electric Guitar Primer, Bass Guitar Primer, Mandolin Primer, Ukulele Primer, Flatpicking Guitar Songs, and Bluegrass Fakebook). Bert performed for several years in Atlanta and the Southeast with his bands Home Remedy and Blue Moon. 25 years ago, Bert Casey and Geoff Hohwald started Watch & Learn to help revolutionize music lessons by developing well thought out, step by step instructional methods that were tested for effectiveness on beginners before publication. These products, which have dramatically improved the understanding and success of beginning students, have evolved into the Watch & Learn system that continues to set the standard of music instruction today. This has resulted in sales of more than three million products since 1979.
