‘Teen Teen Changgeuk Class’ Brings Traditional Music to Young Learners
The Namwon National Gugak Center hosted the “Teen Teen Changgeuk Class” during the winter break, offering elementary students a chance to explore gugak and develop creativity through changgeuk (Korean opera).
Focusing on pansori chunhyangga, participants practiced scripts, performed pansori, learned folk songs, and played traditional rhythms. The program emphasized teamwork, confidence-building, and problem-solving through real performance preparation.
Classes took place from Feb. 3 to 14 in the changgeuk rehearsal room and Yewondang Hall. They were open to students born between 2012 and 2017 and accepted 20 participants on a first-come basis.
The program concluded with a final performance on Feb. 15, where the students showcased their dedication. The center expressed hope that the experience helped children appreciate gugak and discover their artistic potential.
