Learn pop violin improvisation by ear in this 66-minute guided play-along featuring music by Bad Bunny and Kanye. Build a repeatable system for hearing harmony, shaping stronger phrases, and creating confident solos.
TWO POP HITS. ONE TRANSFERABLE IMPROVISATION SYSTEM.
Start with Bad Bunny’s “MONACO,” using D major / B minor pentatonic over its two-chord loop. Then move to “American Boy,” featuring Kanye West, and learn to navigate the shift between E major and G major.
Rather than memorizing licks, you’ll use rhythm, rests, melodic cells, form, and voice leading to create ideas that sound intentional—and apply the same process to other pop tunes.
YOU’LL LEARN HOW TO
• Improvise over pop tunes using major and pentatonic scales
• Navigate the E-major-to-G-major shift in “American Boy”
• Build rhythmic and melodic cells that sound intentional
• Vary phrase length, starting position, and use of space
• Connect changing key centers through voice leading
• Practice with call-and-response, trading, and recording
WHAT’S INCLUDED
• Full 66-minute class replay
• Guided violin play-along exercises for multiple levels
• Pentatonic Extended Range Worksheet
• Major Scales Exercises and Extended Range Worksheet
• Ongoing access to this expanding Pop Tunes collection as new classes and resources are added
FOR VIOLINISTS AND STRING PLAYERS WHO WANT TO PLAY BY EAR
Basic scale familiarity helps, but you do not need advanced chord theory or sight-reading. Start with long notes and rests, or challenge yourself with faster subdivisions and key changes.
