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. As a drummer, I was interested in the Korean traditional percussion instruments from the first time I saw them.

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.
