The MA in Traditional Music at Korea National University of Arts is offered through the School of Korean Traditional Arts in Seoul. This graduate program focuses on the advanced study and performance of Korean traditional music, often known as Gugak. The program aims to preserve and promote Korea’s musical heritage while encouraging students to develop creative interpretations and professional performance abilities within traditional music forms.

The program normally lasts two years (four semesters) and combines theoretical coursework with intensive practical training. Students study subjects such as Korean traditional music theory, performance techniques, music history, composition, and research methods. The curriculum is designed to help students gain a deep understanding of the cultural, historical, and artistic background of Korean traditional music while also strengthening their technical and performance skills.

Practical experience is a major component of the program. Students regularly participate in concerts, recitals, workshops, and ensemble performances, allowing them to apply their knowledge in real performance settings. They receive guidance from experienced performers and scholars who specialize in various traditional instruments, vocal styles, and classical court and folk music traditions.

Graduates of the MA in Traditional Music program often pursue careers as professional musicians, composers, music educators, researchers, or cultural arts professionals. Many also work in performing arts organizations, cultural institutions, or academic environments where they contribute to preserving and promoting Korean traditional music both in South Korea and internationally.

NOTE: The university may have additional program-specific eligibility requirements. It is recommended to verify these on the official university website.
