Tune Explorer Sessions are a collaborative effort between MÓD and the TrailJams Community and consist of weekly slow & learning sessions for musician s who are just starting to build repertoire and skill, or are building proficiency on an instrument.

NOTE: Effective March 1, the suggested donation has been dropped to $5, cash or Venmo.

This session is focused on playing traditional Irish tunes on melody instruments (not rhythm instruments or percussion). For more information visit TrailJams. (For winter 2025, the teaching & learning sessions are on the first and third Saturdays of the month. There are slow sessions - without teaching - on the second, fourth, and fifth Saturdays of the month. The slow sessions are at different locations.)

Jim Lowenherz will be teaching on April 4 from 1-3pm. The tunes will be from Tune Book 2, The High Reel and Shandon Bells (jig). The High Reel is an exciting way to end a reel set and it is played a lot. The slow session tunes will be from the last several classes.

Due to a scheduling conflict at Waverly, we are having this class at Kathleen’s Eco Village Farmhouse. Use her address: 4621 NE Killingsworth, area code 97218. There is no guest parking available at the village so please park on the street. Walk past the resident parking lot and up the gravel road to the two-story building next to the big tree. You can either use the front or side door. Email Kathleen with any questions.
