The Daegu Metropolitan Office of Education has pursued the “One Company, One School Musical Instrument Donation Project” and a musical instrument teacher training course since 2013. The Art Club Teacher Association conducts training for more than 200 teachers every year.

Thanks to support from the local community, students in Daegu have access to a diverse range of musical instruments including those for rock bands and orchestras, Korean drums, ukuleles, flutes, and djembes. Thirty companies are taking part in this donation project and have donated instruments equivalent to 2.27 billion won to 406 schools. Consequently, 84% of students in Daegu (99% elementary school, 89% middle school, and 57% high school students) were able to be the beneficiaries of the “One Student, One Musical Instrument” Project in 2016.

There are five four-year universities and three two-year universities in Daegu from which approximately 800 music majors graduate each year. These universities implement significant and practical education to develop music professionals and thus improve the musical environment in Daegu and Gyeongsangbuk-do Province.
The “Vocal Music Exchange Concert between Four Universities in Daegu and Gyeongsangbuk-do Province” has been held since 2013, providing vocal music students the opportunity to gain academic experience and share information.
