2. Introduction
Korea is a huge country with a huge culture. So I only
studied the Northern culture of this country. This part of
the country has very distinguished dances and also lots of
types of music. Dance and music means a lot to North
Korean citizens. Especially because of the traditional
Cheonan festival. This festival is when people from all the
world get together to celebrate the Korean culture.
4. Instruments
There are many instruments used in Korean music.
Korean people use three types of instruments: wind
instruments, string instruments, and percussion
instruments. I am going to teach you about three of them:
Daegeum,Janggu, and Jing.
5. Daegeum
This instrument is a wind
instrument. It is a type of
flute. Many people say
this type of flute is one of
the most difficult flutes to
play.
This is how it sounds like:

9. Daegeum Sanjo- Chang
Hyun Won
As you can hear in this
music piece there is a man
playing the Daegeum and http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=if
sometimes you can hear a
janggu in the background.
This type of music is
called Sanjo. This
literally means "scattered
melodies".
10. Importance of Music
Music is really important.
North Korean citizens
think music is important
too. They celebrate it,
hear it, play it, and
respect it.
12. Dance Moves: Fan
Dance
First, you have to put your two fans in front of your face.
Then, you have to put you fans down.
After that, you have to on your feet andput your fans on
top of your head
At last, you have to bow five times.

14. Importance of Dance
Dancing is a type of art. Dancing is very important. Many
North Koreans like to watch other people dance. Others
like to dance themselves. Korean dance is very difficult to
dance(especially the synchronized dance), however, if you
practice a lot you may be able to practice this art.
15. Conclusion
I think that learning about other cultures is very interesting.
You learn a lot about other people. Especially if you are
learning about music and dance.
