It's hard to believe it's been four years since we first launched the Tony Trischka School of Banjo, it seems like it was just yesterday when we were filming banjo lessons in the original ArtistWorks "studio" (aka the living room).

So in honor of Tony’s four year anniversary of teaching how to play banjo online with ArtistWorks, we're giving away a brand new Deering Goodtime Banjo! The contest is open through July 28 and no purchase is necessary. Click on the link here or on the Deering banjo to go to the contest page!

You see, learning online was still a new concept back in 2009 - it did exist in some academic circles, but for the rest of us there was simply no established way to get personalized feedback from a master teacher online.  So we knew we were on to something when we started this whole online learning thing.  Four years and countless Video Exchanges later, Tony continues to leave his teaching legacy to banjo players of all ilk.
