Bassists:

What would it feel like to be able to play anything on the instrument, effortlessly and with control?

You show up, you spend the time, you do the work.

So why do you still feel limited on this instrument you love?

I work with bassists all the time who feel limited by their playing, but don’t know how to fix it.

Maybe you...

Aren’t seeing the progress you want, even though you’re practicing and doing everything you’ve been told you should.
See results one day, then feel back at square one the next.
Do the same things day after day, but don’t see much improvement.
Feel like the time you spend is never enough.

What if you felt confident in your ability to play anything you want on the instrument?

You’d take that audition.

You’d learn that crazy piece of music.

You’d go to that jam session you’ve been avoiding.

You'd go for the thing that, deep down, you're pining for...the thing you know you'd regret not pursuing.

“I can hear the difference every time I pick up the bass"

Since joining the Virtuosity Blueprint with Lauren, I have gained a real sense of direction in my playing. During my time working with Lauren, we’ve been able to work on developing my practice routines, build up my technical foundation, and accomplish goals in my playing that I never really thought possible.

This program has led to the steadiest progress I've felt in a long time, and I can hear and feel the difference every time I pick up the bass.

Play Anything Like a Badass

A free live workshop to show you how to practice so the work you put in shows up in your playing.

Saturday, December 5 from 12-2pm CT

What’s Possible for You

By the end of the workshop, you’ll walk away ready to say yes to the audition, gig, or recital you’ve been putting off.

Because you’ll be able to:

Spot the practice habits that make progress stall, and what to do instead
Learn the technique that lead to control, so your hands can move effortlessly and accurately
Practice like a scientist: hear what’s actually happening and know what to do next
Build a practice routine that fits your schedule and the way your brain works

And most importantly? You'll learn how to ENJOY your practice sessions, which is actually the key to getting better results.

Hi, I’m Lauren Pierce

I’m a musician, teacher, voracious reader, and terrible poet.

I’ve spent over 15 years teaching, mentoring, and coaching bassists around the world, helping them master their technique, gain confidence, and expand what they believe is possible, not only on the instrument, but within themselves.

I created Play Anything Like a Badass because I’ve seen firsthand that most bassists don’t struggle because they lack talent or discipline. They struggle because they haven’t been taught how to build their foundational technique or refine their process.

Playing bass is something that brings me immense joy and fulfillment, and it excites me to help artists like you find that same joy in the practice room.

“I look forward to picking up my bass every day.”

In just a few months of studying with Lauren, I’ve transformed my sound into something I genuinely love hearing and feeling! She’s given me the tools to approach my practice with curiosity and intention, learning to isolate and refine individual notes and phrases and play with the variables of bow weight, placement, speed, and left-hand vibrato. I look forward to picking up my bass every day. That confidence has inspired me to join a community orchestra and take on more opportunities to perform on the double bass.
