WHAT I WANT TO GIVE YOU
“Discovering the looper pedal was a turning point for me as a violinist.”
Violin looping concert at the art gallery ‘XPosed on the Highline’ in Chelsea, NY
Hi, my name is Mireia Clua. I’m a professional violinist based in New York City, and I perform original compositions that I have created using the exact method I will teach you in this video course.
Discovering the looper pedal was a turning point for me as a modern violinist. With this simple tool I was able to compose my own music, groove, jam, and let out all the music inside me. I had lots of insights and made many discoveries along the way that slowly shaped into a system for composing with the looper pedal. And I felt the need to share these discoveries to help other violin players find this unlimited source of joy and happiness that I had found.
My experience with looping and performing, combined with my years of experience teaching improvisation and creativity to adult students, allowed me to create the step-by-step methodology that I am presenting in this video course. I’ll show you a way into this beautiful world of creativity that will let you express the music inside you.
How the Violin Looping Course Works

- This is a self-study course that’s organized in 15 video lessons that you can watch as many times as you like, and go through them at your own pace.
- The lessons are very complete and easy to follow, and you don’t need to know anything about music theory to begin. In each lesson I will give you all the creative elements you need.
- Each concept is demonstrated with beautiful musical examples to inspire your creativity and give you a place to start.
- The videos are illustrated with on-screen graphics to help you understand each concept and visualize the notes on your fingerboard.
- Along with each video you’ll also find illustrated lesson notes, including sheet music of all musical examples and summaries of the takeaway points and creative exercises.
- You’ll have unlimited access to all of these materials forever, so you can revisit them in the future any time you want.
Frequently Asked Questions
- You just need a way to amplify your violin, which could be a microphone or a pickup, and a small amplifier.
- You can use a looper pedal of any model or brand.
- An octave pedal is very recommended. (You’ll love it for the bass parts!)
In the course, there is a whole lesson where I help you set up your equipment. And if you have any doubts or questions, feel free to reach out to me at support@mireiaclua.com. I’ll be happy to help!
Yes! You can follow this course with any looper pedal, regardless of the brand or model, as we focus on the core functions common to all looper pedals. I’ll teach you how to use these basic functions to craft seamless, musical loops. I personally use the Boss RC-30 in the course—it’s super easy to use, portable, and affordable—so I highly recommend it.
That said, if you already have a looper pedal, you don’t need to buy a new one. But if you’re looking to buy, the Boss RC-30 is a great place to start. Another good option is the Boss RC-500, which is an upgraded version of the RC-30. Other brands have similar models too—just look for something simple and easy to use.
This course will give you the elements you need to compose your own loops with any rhythm and any style you want. I will give you demonstrations in many styles, and you will be able to take each concept and use it to create music in your own style.
This course includes 4 hours of video lessons, making the lessons an average of 15 minutes long. The lessons are rich in content, and I encourage you to watch and revisit each lesson many times, pausing the video to jam with the concepts along the way.
The only prerequisite is to be able to play your violin! You don’t need to know anything about harmony, composing, chopping or improvising to begin, and sight-reading won’t be a barrier either. In this course I’ll give you all the necessary elements to compose your own music!
