The MA in Traditional Korean Music at Korea National University of Arts is a graduate program designed to provide advanced education and professional training in Korea’s traditional music heritage, commonly known as Gugak. The program is offered through the School of Korean Traditional Arts in Seoul and focuses on preserving and developing traditional Korean musical practices while encouraging creative and scholarly exploration of this cultural art form. Students gain a deep understanding of the historical, cultural, and artistic foundations of Korean traditional music.

The program usually takes two years (four semesters) to complete and combines academic coursework with intensive performance training. Students study subjects such as Korean traditional music theory, performance techniques, ensemble practice, music history, and research methodology. The curriculum helps students develop both theoretical knowledge and professional musical skills, enabling them to master traditional instruments, vocal styles, and musical interpretation.

Practical performance and artistic development are central parts of the program. Students participate in concerts, recitals, workshops, and collaborative performances where they present traditional Korean music in professional settings. They work closely with experienced musicians and scholars, gaining hands-on experience in performance and research while exploring innovative ways to interpret traditional music in modern contexts.

Graduates of the MA in Traditional Korean Music program can pursue careers as professional performers, music educators, composers, researchers, or cultural arts professionals. The program prepares students to work in performing arts organizations, cultural institutions, academic fields, and international cultural exchange programs while contributing to the preservation and global promotion of Korean traditional music.
