Traditional Korean music includes both the folk and court music styles of the Korean people. Korean music is based on Buddhist and native shamanistic beliefs. Buddhist and shamanistic dancing, and shamanistic drum music, are extant, as is a melodic, dance music called sinawi. Traditional Korean music can be divided into at least four types: courtly, aristocratic, scholarly, and religious.
