No prior experience required! We teach you from the very beginning; everything ranging from holding and hitting the drums, moving and stepping to the beats, to more advanced techniques.

No! Hansori is open to anyone of any background.

We teach in English, and we will teach you the Korean phrases used for chants along with the names of materials and techniques.

There is a membership fee of $30/year ($10/quarter). These fees help cover transportation to performances, equipment maintenance and club operations.

Fees are due mid-quarter to our Treasurer via cash or Venmo.

Fees are subject to change every year.

If you are unable to pay, please contact us and we will try to figure something out.

Our practice times and locations change every quarter, but generally:

• Time: 2 to 3 hours sometime between 5PM and 10PM.

• Frequency: Two practices per week. None during finals or breaks.

• Locations: On campus at a lecture hall or CCC (Cross Cultural Center), depending on practice schedule.

Yes and No.

Hansori at UCI is a performance group, so many of our practices are dedicated to learning and practicing performance routines.

Each piece takes multiple weeks to learn and even more to properly play as a group. And each practice builds on the previous practice which all culminate in the annual Spring Showcase at the end of spring quarter.

If you are unable to regularly attend practices, you can still join Hansori at UCI and come to whichever practices that you can, however you might not be able to learn the specific piece being taught at the time within schedule – and thus not be able to participate in some performances.
