Incheon Metropolitan City Office of Education and National Center for Korean Traditional Performing Arts Sign MOU to Promote Traditional Korean Music Education in Schools

The Incheon Metropolitan City Office of Education announced on November 5 that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the National Center for Korean Traditional Performing Arts to promote traditional Korean music education.

Under the agreement, the two organizations will strengthen cooperation in areas such as supporting traditional Korean instrument-focused "one student, one art" education for schools in island regions including Yeonpyeongdo, operating "Gukak Delivery Box," a visiting traditional Korean music concert program, sharing educational materials including sheet music for newly composed traditional pieces, and running traditional music-related career experience events.

The Incheon Metropolitan City Office of Education plans to revitalize traditional music education in schools by leveraging the expertise of the National Center for Korean Traditional Performing Arts, creating an educational environment where students can learn and enjoy traditional Korean sounds.

Incheon Superintendent of Education Do Seong-hun stated, "We will actively support all students in Incheon—from children on island villages and kindergarteners to aspiring young artists—so that they can grow up learning and singing our traditional music, fostering pride in our culture and developing their artistic potential."
