The National Center for the Korean Traditional Performing Arts is accepting applications for its Korean traditional music classes (for foreigners) through March 15. The first class of the 12-week program is March 17. If you’ve got nothing else better to do on your Saturday mornings, why not give it a try?

because Korean traditional music hurts my brain, that’s why.
I don’t know about full traditional orchestra music -I haven’t heard that much. It takes some training to really enjoy the music, I guess and since I don’t have the training, its a little boring for me.
On the other hand, the Traditional Korean Performing Arts program is great. When I lived in Seoul, I was able to attend several sessions. The teachers were members of the national orchestra who travel around the world performing. They were wonderfully skilled, friendly and eager to teach although they weren’t always strong in English.
I recommend the classes.
12 weeks to find out it’s just pentatonic scale?
As a drummer, I was interested in the Korean traditional percussion instruments from the first time I saw them. I took quite a few of the janngu (hourglass drum) and samulnori (four-piece percussion ensemble) classes at the NCKTPA while I was in Korea and became quite proficient on the instruments.
The classes were also a great way to meet Asian cuties from countries other than Korea.
