The teacher training program is an annual project operated by the National Namdo Gugak Center to cultivate excellent Gugak teachers and strengthen and revitalize the educational environment for traditional arts.

Previously, the program was held twice a year focusing mainly on beginner-level practical Gugak skills that are easy to learn, such as traditional children's songs, folk songs, and Samulnori. However, this year, reflecting continuous requests from graduates for expansion, the intermediate training will be expanded to include advanced courses such as elective string instrument practice (Gayageum, Haegeum) and lecture concerts.

A representative from the National Namdo Gugak Center said, "In addition to practical Gugak skills, it will be a meaningful time to experience and feel various cultural arts through cultural exploration and calligraphy experiences."

Teachers wishing to participate in the training can apply by logging in to the 'Education Experience' section on the National Namdo Gugak Center website from the 27th until 6 p.m. on the 30th.

For more detailed information, inquiries can be made to the National Namdo Gugak Center's Music Department.
