Abstract

www.mej.sagepub.com Not so many years ago, most of the music taught in classrooms in the United States originated in America or Europe. In recent years, there has been an explosion of multicultural materials for use by the general music educator: African, Latino, and South Asian musical resources immediately come to mind as readily available. American students can drum authentic African rhythms, play Javanese gamelan or Caribbean pan, partner in Japanese hand-clapping games, and sing songs from places as diverse as Polynesia and Poland. Music catalogs offer a veritable smorgasbord from which to select music from various cultures to whet our students' musical appetites. However, in my search for Korean music, I found few examples available for classroom use. In fact, in the master index of songs of a major music textbook publisher, there were only nine examples of Korean music out of a total of ninety-seven entries under the category Asia: East and Southeast.
