Reviews
Hwi rocks! Very friendly and encouraging. She’s passionate about traditional Korean folk music and it shows. She played a couple songs and even let me record her. The hanbok was down-to-Earth, not tacky like what you’d see at Gyeongbokgung Palace. The beat we played was a modest challenge for me, should be a piece of cake if you’re a drummer/percussionist. If you’re into playing music and trying new things, this class is well worth your money. I’m gonna buy a janggu when I get home.
