Want to be able to sit in with the band, but don’t know where to start? Feel intimidated and/or frustrated as you back into the shadows while others seem to have fun as they magically add parts they create on the spot, even if they don’t know the song? Or, just feel like your music education missed something when all you were taught to do was “play from the page?” ...never fear, Fiddle Jam is here!! <> Fiddle Jam 101: Jammer Level Course. The original way-cool EZ way, Fiddle Jam Method, from the beginning! Crack open the door to your creative self! Have fun while learning how to improvise to simple “one-scale-fits-all” backing tracks in a variety of styles including Rock n Roll, Swing, Blues, Country, Folk, Cajun, Celtic, Latin, and more! Tons of positive encouragement! <> Course topics include: “Fiddle-Friendly” major scales, blues scales, and EZ “Tater-ing” (improvising back-up parts), applied to the tracks and then later, to some easy songs. <> Great for the “near-beginner”* who would like the develop a life-long creative foundation or, the Hobbyist who desires to expand beyond the same old songs they’ve been playing for years, or the Classical cross-over student who just wants to loosen up and get “hip!” <> This course will cover the materials from the original Hal Leonard Corp. “Fiddle Jam, a way-cool easy way to learn how to improvise” book & CD but also go into much more detail and depth going “beyond the book.” <> *“near-beginner”* = a student who knows at least their first 3 open string-based major scales (G, D, & A for violin/mandolin, C, G, & D for cello & viola) that are often learned in the first few months of experience. These super common symmetrical two-string fingering patterns, we call “EZ-Zones,” are the cornerstone to learning how to improvise with the Fiddle Jam Method, and encourage the new improviser into a non-thinking, more creative & authoritative state (the desired goal for improvisation) much earlier in the student’s development. **New to version 2.0 non-sequential random access to the modules and units, and a one-price=lifetime access to all FJ101 course materials... even if the materials are updated later! Thanks for your support! Purchase of the original book is not necessary to participate fully in this course (though it is also available from our school store). I hope you enjoy learning the cool stuff - the EZ way!
