25 years ago, Bert Casey and Geoff Hohwald started Watch & Learn to help revolutionize music instructional courses 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.
