Improvising Course
Scales + Chords Edition
Only $64
Lauren teaches this course on her five-string fiddle, but the theory and explanations work for any instrument!
“This course is like a book - it gets more intriguing each chapter!”
This course focuses on understanding the fundamental chord progression of folk music, and how to use scales, scales, and MORE SCALES to create a solo.
The goal here is to show you that if you know…
1. the key you’re jamming in
2. the chord progression
3. your scale, you can create a really great solo.
Will it be the most sparkly, amazing, mind blowing solo of all time??? Probably not. But that’s NOT the goal right now. The goal is that you are improvising something that sounds really good, and you feel confident playing when it’s your turn to try making something up. It’s a solid goal if you’re new-ish to improvising.
Included in this course…
6 weekly assignments and lessons.
4 video lessons with Lauren explaining and demonstrating, that’s 3hrs of guided workshop sessions!
1 amazing playlist with over 30+ videos and tunes.
1 Major Scale Workbook + exerpts from the Key of G book.
3 downloadable sheet music to guide your lessons
This course is based on a 6-week challenge within the JWL All-Access Curriculum
Improvising is essentially making decisions on the spot…
Through the 6 Weeks of guided assignments, Lauren weaves fingerboard knowledge into chord progressions and melodies while you gain confidence in your abilities to make quick melodic decisions, all through the use of the basic building block of music, the scale.
Learn how to do all of this and more in the Improvising Course - Scales + Chords Edition!

“Thank you Lauren for again, another incredible challenge. Over these six weeks, I have learned tons, improved my playing, and had great fun along the way. Your methods are so insightful, so awesome! Top shelf!”
— Jim, cello
“This is exactly the thing I have been wanting to learn for a LONG time. This challenge really helped me see the light.”
— Joe, fiddle
“I do see the benefits of these meat and potato drills. Actually not meat and potato's so much as pure vitamin filled veggies. It is very basic but, oh so important, stuff. It is forcing us to slow down and THINK. You dream up these challenges Lauren and you can see the time and effort you have put into them so we have the best benefit and experience. We are so lucky for it. Thank you.”
— Mark, fiddle

*One last thing, this Course was first developed as a Challenge, one of the many perks for being a JamFam All-Access Member. You’re very welcome to join us there, and you’ll find this course included in the curriculum. If trying this single course out first is more your style, that’s cool too. Either way, I’m glad you’re here and I’m ready to help.
**Note: This course will only take 6 weeks to complete but you will have access for 6 months so that you can revisit lessons and continue to hone your skills as an improviser!
