Korean Drum & Dance

The Janggu is the representative drum of traditional Korean music while the Sogo is a small handheld drum that is primarily used with dance or movement. Both art forms have various playing styles and techniques that are differentiated by Korean dialect and are also dependent on the style of the specific originating artist/master. In this Master Class, immerse yourself in the rich Korean culture of music performance through the iconic “Farmers’ music” and learn to play basic drum rhythms on the actual Janggu drums and perform on the Sogo with the accompanying dance and footwork.
