The Korean Cultural Center in Brazil announces that registration for the Gayageum Byeongchang course for the first semester of 2025 will open on March 17 at 10:00 AM.
Gayageum Byeongchang is a traditional Korean style where practitioners sing and play the gayageum, a South Korean stringed instrument known for its melodic and expressive sound, at the same time. During the semester, students will learn the basic techniques of the instrument and practice a few songs.
Below are all the details regarding the course, including rules, groups, schedules, and the link to the registration form. We ask that interested individuals carefully read all the information before registering.
