Unlock your music potential

The JamWithLauren membership teaches you to learn music by ear, master techniques, and confidently join jam sessions through our comprehensive online learning platform.

This online studio has over 400+ videos, including workshops, play-along tracks and skill challenges. Lauren will guide you through learning tunes, creating your own left-hand and right-hand variations on melodies, and how to hear and play chord progressions. Each tune includes a video to jam with, and a play-along track to download. Music theory is explained in a way that will make sense on your violin, and the videos provide insights on good technique and practice tips.

What people are saying about JWL.

“Lauren has a deep intuitive understanding of people and their musical journeys; and therefore has a lot to offer in terms of guidance as well as a real knack for explaining the nitty-gritty details of string playing and music theory. Signing up for lessons on JamWithLauren is always a good idea. ”

-Brittany Haas

“Lauren and her site JamWithLauren are the absolute best online resources for beginning to intermediate fiddlers, or any level of classically trained violinist trying to get a handle on playing by ear, improvisation, and back up accompaniment for real ‘Old-Time/Bluegrass Fiddling.”

-Mark Thatcher

“The blog is only a part of the educational brilliance happening here at JamWithLauren. Do yourself a favor and keep exploring the site. ”

-Taylor Morris

“What I like best about JamWithLauren is that there’s something for every skill level. After you’ve learned the basic tune, you can challenge yourself to master the embellishments, chords, and harmony. It’s a great confidence booster when you suddenly find yourself jamming along with the practice tracks.”

-Carolyn Finlay

Quick PSA*

*public service announcement about our content.

JamWithLauren launched back before online learning was mainstream. The benefit of this is that when designing the curriculum Lauren was intentional and thorough about building a best in class library of videos that build upon each other.

However, the downside of being ‘ahead of the times’ is that our video content is dated from a technology perspective. Our videos look older, but our content is still very relevant and applicable to the learning process.

We are not in a place to re-film 400+ videos so we have elected to significantly decrease our price. At this moment in time we are not working to add new content to the platform.

Learn Salt Creek

Take a look at the 1st video in our Salt Creek lesson. Each tune includes up to 8 videos teaching the tune, walking through the variations, chords, and jam practice.
