Seocho-gu Conducts 1:1 Online Instrument Lessons 'Q~' for One Person One Instrument

Support for 1:1 Instrument Online Content Aligned with Elementary School Online Opening... 1:1 Instrument Lessons Conducted in Real-Time Remote Sessions with 1:1 Instrument Teachers to Minimize Art Education Gaps Due to Online School Opening

[Asia Economy Reporter Jong-il Park] Seocho-gu (Mayor Eunhee Jo) announced that it will launch the 'Online 1:1 Instrument Lesson Q~' project for one instrument per person starting from the 16th, in line with the online opening of elementary schools.

The 'Online 1:1 Instrument Lesson Q~' project aims to minimize the cultural and artistic education gap for students caused by the unprecedented situation of prolonged school closures and online school openings due to COVID-19. It also provides part-time job opportunities for artists facing difficulties due to the suspension of various performance activities by involving them as instructors.

The project consists of ▲providing instrument education videos produced in Seocho style to YouTube and schools ▲encouraging students to practice instruments using the provided videos and participate in the 'UCC Show-off' by submitting their performance videos ▲offering real-time remote 1:1 lessons between selected outstanding UCC creators and instrument instructors ▲holding an online home concert for students who participated in the 1:1 lessons.

In line with the elementary school online opening schedule, the project begins by producing 'Elementary Wise Instrument Lessons,' an instrument education content for 'one instrument per person,' which can be used as school music class content and is posted on the Seocho-gu Office YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/SeochoCity).

During the first week of online school opening on April 16, music curriculum instruments such as recorder, danso, and Samulnori will be distributed. From April 20, a total of 22 videos covering 16 types of instrument education content, including learning instruments like ocarina, ukulele, violin, clarinet, flute, and orchestra instrument video experiences, will be provided.

The instrument education content enhances usability by including useful information such as how to create instrument performance UCCs that showcase one's unique musical potential and talent, and music expression methods felt through the body, all within the instrument-specific lecture videos.

As a feedback education process, students will create performance videos of their favorite instruments in the 'Instrument Performance UCC Show-off.' Students selected as outstanding participants in the 'Instrument Performance UCC Show-off' will receive the benefit of real-time remote 1:1 instrument lessons with a one instrument per person instructor.

Elementary school students in Seocho-gu who wish to participate in the 'Instrument Performance UCC Show-off' must submit their instrument performance videos along with an application form to the Seocho Cultural Foundation (☎3477-2806) by April 23. There is no specific instrument designated for video shooting, and videos should be within 3 minutes showcasing the student's musical talent.

Since 2019, Seocho-gu has been conducting the 'One Instrument Per Person' project in collaboration with the Seocho Cultural Foundation, which specializes in the arts field, to reduce the workload of schools in hiring instructors and to provide more opportunities for children to learn instruments at school.

For this instrument education content production, 13 instructors selected through a video audition from among 145 instrument instructors hired in 2020 participated in video production. They will actively work as one instrument per person instructors in the 'Real-time Remote 1:1 Lessons between Instrument Instructors and Students' starting from April 27.

Seocho-gu Mayor Eunhee Jo said, “We plan to conduct real-time remote lessons effectively to improve students' performance skills and hold an online home concert that can spread happiness to residents' hearts.” She added, “During this unprecedented online school opening period, I hope children will be happy with music and have an opportunity to discover and enjoy their latent artistic abilities.”
