In student bands, especially with "Les Myopes" (the short-sighted people), he played on Thé Dansants in the "Stuff" before becoming a member of the Dax brothers' dance orchestra and leading his own band. He learned the double bass from Paul Deitz from the RTL Symphony Orchestra. After military service and the failure of his student career, he worked as a professional musician in the Johnny Glesener Trio. After two years he switched to the famous Jean Roderes Orchestra , which worked for radio and television, but also as a studio band. In 1966, Scholer accompanied the artists of the Grand Prix Eurovision de la Chanson in Luxembourg as a bassist .

With Peter van de Locht , Boy Raaymakers and the Jamaican drummer Noel McGhee he performed at the Théâtre du Lucernaire in Paris .
