Lessons
“Casey's enthusiasm for and extensive knowledge of music partnered with his excellent, accessible instructional skills will have you feeling comfortable and confident from the very first lesson. His creativity will also give you space to learn what you want. I have had other music instruction. This is who you want to learn from.”
-Christopher Michael, Theater Director Patrick Henry HS
“Through his inspiration and instruction, Casey has helped my son find a passion. Most importantly, my son has said that “Mr. Frensz is a great teacher and friend. He teaches at any pace and helps me learn by playing music of interest to me.” Casey’s impact can possibly best be summarized by my sons comment, “Mr. Frensz is also a great person.” Casey has been everything we were looking for: talented musician, inspirational teacher, down-to-earth person, and a great friend-mentor.”

“My son has been taking bass guitar lessons with Casey for years, and he always looks forward to them. We book them double-length so that they can do more of a jam session format, and at age 13, my son started playing out in public of his own volition. At age 15 he is now starting to be offered real gigs with very talented professionals. I always highly recommend Casey to all my friends and their children, whatever instrument they're interested in. He is multi-talented, supportive, funny, inspirational, and best of all, highly motivating!”

“Casey Is an extraordinary talent..He's in it for the music. He is the guy you need because he cares about getting you to that next level, no matter what your doing, that's hard to find”
-Brother Jon, Songwriter/Bandleader
“Every time I work with Casey he is a catalyst for musical creativity.”
-Sam Licari, Songwriter/Producer/Bandleader
“On big or small stages when I have Casey on the gig I know he will deliver 110%. Casey is a talented, creative, and entertaining addition any group.”
Jim Stairs, Musician/Bandleader
“Over the last ten years I have had the pleasure of working with Casey Frensz on multiple projects and have always found his presence to be one of pure musical positivity. Casey has many strengths including being a multi-instrumentalist, producer and engineer. This allows for Casey's recording experiences to be completely autonomous which is incredibly helpful for musicians who are short on time or on a tight budget.”
-Tony Ford, songwriter
“Hammond organs, saxophones, trumpets and trombones, and a whole long list of other organic instruments make up the credit list, at a time when a laptop and a gateway to some loops and samples may have been sufficient. Not for Casey Frensz, dear friends. For him authenticity is the key – uncompromising, immovable and flagellated by principle.”
-Rick Jamm, review of “Captain Queso” (2019)
