TuneClub, a revolutionary music-learning platform, is launching to transform how musicians learn, connect, and participate in live music. By blending structured digital learning with real-world music experiences, TuneClub equips learners with the tools and confidence to engage in sessions, master new skills, and make meaningful musical connections.
To celebrate its launch, TuneClub presents The Sugarloaf Sessions, an innovative new festival debuting in Bray, Co. Wicklow from 25th – 27th April 2025.
To support and encourage music educators and event organisers to develop more opportunities, TuneClub is also unveiling a €250,000 Creator Fund to foster innovative learning-driven music experiences that blend online preparation with in-person engagement.
TuneClub: A Phygital Approach to Music Learning
Open to both learners and creators, TuneClub is a phygital (physical + digital) platform, designed to bridge online learning with live participation. Learners prepare in advance with structured pathways, interactive tools, and personalised feedback, so that they arrive at live sessions more confident and engaged.
Creators–including event organisers, music educators and artists–can monetise their expertise, blending digital learning with physical events and tapping into the Creator Fund.
The Sugarloaf Sessions
From 25-27th April, The Sugarloaf Sessions is an exciting new learning experience designed for adult learners. Using the TuneClub app, learners start their learning journey at home before bringing their skills to life in an immersive, in-person event with fellow musicians in Bray. Students will learn tunes – and a whole lot more, including how to develop their session playing skills from skilled performers.
The Sugarloaf Sessions will be delivered by a team of expert tutors including Tim Doyle and Rachel Duffy. Dr. Liz Doherty, CEO of I Teach Trad, is advisor to the project, providing professional development training to the teaching team. If you are an adult learner, keen to level up your skills and improve your session playing, this is an experience not to be missed!
Early bird registration is now available at €150 from www.tuneclub.com
TuneClub’s €250,000 Creator Fund
TuneClub is investing €250,000 to help experience creators to integrate digital learning into real-world music experiences. The platform is lowering the barrier for music educators, innovators and event organisers to incorporate a digital learning aspect into their events, ensuring participants arrive better prepared, more engaged, and ready to play.
The fund is open to:
- Music educators & masterclass hosts eager to scale their teaching into structured digital courses.
- Festival & event organisers looking to enhance participation engagement through pre-event learning.
- Innovators in music education creating curated masterclasses, concert-led workshops, or music travel adventures.
Applications are open for direct or co-funding support, with the successful applicants receiving financial support to access TuneClub’s digital infrastructure for learning materials, ticketing, and community-building. Events may be fully hosted on TuneClub or co-promoted across the platform’s growing user base, connecting creators to a wider international audience.
Gabe Moynagh, founder of TuneClub commented “Our vision is to make music learning more immersive, social, and rewarding. We don’t want learners just practicing in isolation—we want them gearing up for real sessions, festivals, and meaningful performances.”
He continued “We want learners to arrive ready to focus on expression and collaboration instead of feeling left behind in sessions. By integrating digital preparation with live experiences, we’re giving both learners and creators a new way to engage with music.”
With The Sugarloaf Sessions, TuneClub App, and TuneClub Creator Fund, the platform is redefining how, when, and where people learn and play music together.
