Contra dance tunes taught by ear. All melody instruments, all levels welcome! No cost to participants!
We meet the 2nd Thursday of each month to learn tunes by George Penk or Betsy Branch, alternating between SW and SE Portland. The focus is on developing a common repertoire to play by ear at jam sessions and, for those who wish, at 5th Saturday Open Band contra dances. Every third month, rather than learn new tunes we jam on the ones we've learned, plus whatever else people want to play. The repeated monthly schedule is as follows:
