You Can Play By Ear was recorded live online over three sessions in April 2023. And now you can access all of the workshop material on demand!

Being a new player is fun and magical, but it can also be very stressful when you don't have the right skills 😩

At some point, we all find ourselves sitting in a jam session thinking…

❓How do I know what chords to play? 

❓What does it mean when people keep shouting numbers?

❓How do I know where to put my fingers?

Or at music camp wondering…

😖 Why am I learning slower than everyone else?

😬 Am I holding up the class?

🙁 How does everybody but me remember what notes to play?!

It's a terrible feeling, but I promise - it's only temporary. Everyone started exactly where you are, and everyone can learn to keep up in jam sessions and workshops!

🎶 You can have fun playing music with others without feelings of confusion, frustration, and shame. 🎶

Why am I so confident that you can do this? Because I have helped hundreds of new players do it, and I will help you. 🙂

There's no magic pill, but there are concrete steps you can take to transform your musical experience into something delightful. And I'll be there with you every step of the way.

In this class, you'll learn the foundational skills you need to play along with anyone, anytime, anywhere!

I'll show you everything step-by-step with videos and PDFs from each session 😃

Topics Include

💡The secret code of the bluegrass jam: How to pick up the cues everyone else is following.

💡 How to play the notes you hear in your head - learn the foundational skills you need to play what you feel.

💡 Learn by ear faster, so you can keep up and even lead the pack at music camp.
