Foremost, it is imperative for a learner to appreciate Gayageum and respect what this fine musical instrument can do. This attitude will increase the learner’s focus and also foster a better learning environment.
The first lesson is involved with mastering the hand and finger positions and
the string plays – plucking with right-hand, flicking, pinching, and vibrating with left-hand.
The string play mastery will take about a month according to the one’s learning ability.
In the second month, a short Korean folk song or called “Min-Yo” will be introduced. The learner is expected to play these folk songs with Gayageum.
For those learners who have keen interest in Korean folk opera or called “cha-ng,” they will be introduced to a new genre called Gayageum Byung-Chang. It is referring to a singing style where one plays Gayageum and do “cha-ng” simultaneously.
After learning the “cha-ng,” the learner is formally introduced to “San-jo” which is Gayageum instrumental melodies/songs.
