Here is unique Korean traditional cultural experience in Seoul Itaewon.
The daegeum is a traditional Korean bamboo flute known for its deep, resonant, and expressive sound. It is a large transverse (side-blown) flute, meaning it is held horizontally and played by blowing across a hole on the side, similar to a Western flute. The instrument is made of bamboo and typically has six finger holes and an additional unique feature called a “cheong” (membrane hole). This thin reed membrane vibrates when you play, producing the daegeum’s distinctive buzzing, rich tone.
Begin your experience by meeting your instructor and getting your Daegeum, a traditional Korean wind instrument, fully prepared for the class. Learn about the history, structure, and unique sound of the Daegeum, along with the charm of Korean traditional music.
Practice essential breathing, embouchure, and finger techniques and enjoy playing a simple song on the Daegeum. The lesson is taught in clear, friendly English and is perfect for beginners with no musical background.
After the lesson, enjoy a fun photo session wearing a traditional Korean outfit, Hanbok—a truly unforgettable memory of your trip to Korea.
Optional Add-on:
You can purchase a brand-new Sogeum (a smaller version of the traditional Korean Daegeum) during the class. Its compact size makes it easy to carry home, so you can continue practicing and enjoy the experience even after the class.
