It sounds like a challenging class but it’s so fun. The instructor was very kind and tried to offerl me a music piece I may know. She had so much patience while teaching me how to play the instrument. Highly recommend to take the class even if you never studied music.

I experienced the Gayageum (a traditional Korean stringed instrument). The teacher has wonderful skills and a lot of experience. In less than one hour, I was able to learn a short intro from the Inuyasha OST. I really recommend trying this class!

Very nice experience and recommended to those who love music and want to get in touch with traditional culture :) However, more detailed information about the place is needed and the possibility of being contacted on whatsapp for foreigners, quite complicated to locate.

Review for: Gayageum One-Day Class

Had my first ever gayageum class today in Seoul during my trip. The instructor was very attentive and welcoming. Within 1 hour i was able to play a good section of Inuyasha OST. They have other song selections too for beginner like me. 10/10 for anyone who loves traditional music and like something unique for their Korea trip. Though I wish there are sessions which are a bit longer too.

Review for: Gayageum One-Day Class

This was my very first time playing a musical instrument, and I absolutely loved the experience ! The instructor was incredibly kind and patient. Sometimes I had difficulty understanding, but she always took the time to repeat and rephrase things with great kindness so I could follow along. The result wasn’t perfect, but I was really satisfied for a first try, and I felt proud of what I achieved. I also really appreciated the tea and snack, as well as the fact that she offered to film our experience. it made the moment even more special. I highly recommend this experience without hesitation ! She is very gentle, and her English is truly excellent.

Review for: Gayageum One-Day Class

This was a very fun experience and my first time trying one of the Asian lyre instruments. It was a lot easier to pluck and get a beautiful sound out of the strings than I originally thought. The studio is very clean and neat. The friends I sent the video to also said it was very healing. The instructor is very patient and nice. Feel free to ask a lot of questions like I did. I highly recommend trying this if you have some time. I know I will be recommending it to my friends as well. Thank you again!

Review for: Gayageum One-Day Class

I was so grateful the instructor came to teach me on such a cold wintry day. She was very encouraging and patient, and I learned the basics of playing the 12-string gayageum pretty quickly. The studio is nice, clean, and brightly lit and the instruments were beautiful. Highly recommended!
