Traditional Korean Music |
Course Department: | |
Instructor: | Yusun Kim |
Instruction Language: | Korean, English |
Comments: | It's a good opportunity to learn about traditional Korean songs and some triditional instruments. This course requested a high degree of participation. We didn't have any paper or exam but we had to do individual performance and collective performance. Practicing everyday sometimes could be a little bit hard. But finally I realized that the time I've spent with the whole class meant a lot for me. It's an important and unforgettable experience. |
