Registration now open for Edmonds School District after-school Pungmul Program

The Edmonds School District confirms it will continue its after-school Pungmul Program for students in grades 6-12 during the 2025-26 school year. The program welcomes students with no prior musical experience, encouraging them to bring their energy and curiosity. Participants will learn to play traditional Korean folk instruments, including the janggu, buk, kkwaenggwari, and jing, while delving into the rich cultural traditions associated with Pungmul. The group meets twice weekly at Mountlake Terrace High School from 4:15-5:15 p. m.

In addition to learning, students will have opportunities to perform at school assemblies, community festivals, and cultural events throughout the year. This initiative aims to foster community engagement and appreciation for cultural diversity among local youth. The Pungmul Program not only promotes musical skills but also enriches students' understanding of Korean heritage.
