According to JobKorea, around 40% of workers are making extra money with their hobby. And most of the 40% answered that the source of extra money was teaching a musical instrument or a private lesson. Experts point out it means that more people want to learn something as a hobby than before and people reaching to a certain level can also make extra money using their hobby. Naturally, more websites and apps providing hobby searches and lessons are being open one after another.

Introduced by Witch’s Kalimba (CEO Kyua Kim) and Witch’s Culture (CEO Yoonyoung Heo), Sosohanmusic is a music lesson search platform where you can easily search and arrange a lesson without a hassle. Witche’s Kalimba is famous for kalimba lessons and Witch’s Culture for arranging and supplying music instructors as well as research and planning on instruments and albums. Up until 2018, kalimba was hard to find in South Korea and the instrument became more known to people around late 2019. 

“Kalimba is very popular nowadays and you can even find online lessons on Youtube. Good things about this instrument are they are small and portable, sound enchanting and easy to learn and play. You can learn the instrument alone or on Youtube but you will learn right with help of professional players. Like many other things, though it looks easy and you can feel like you learn it fast, the more you dig into it the more you realize it is not as easy as you imagined. This is the reason I opened Witch’s Kalimba and also joined hands with Witch’s Culture for the lesson search website” says Kim. 

At Sosohanmusic, you can find kalimba, asalato, ukulele, harmonica, guitar, recorder and many more to come. 

“Many people in their 50s and over grew up busy earning bread and butter. Learning a musical instrument was but a luxury. For this reason, lessons arranged at Sosohanmusic are not about torturing their head with difficult notes and theories but how to play easily and instantly. Learning an instrument is not all about playing the instrument but having a good time and let go of our stress even for a while. That’s why the instruments on Sosohanmusic are small and portable and easy to learn and play” says Heo.

“I also would like to add one thing. We think music is for all of us especially the underprivileged. Their course of life is harder and we really hope our expertise in easy to learn and play musical instruments can help them ease their burden of life with which we are working on it at the moment. The sound of a beautiful musical piece has such a power to move us” says Kim.

If Class 101 is a popular hobby finder, Sosohanmusic focuses on portable musical instruments you can play wherever and whenever. If you are thinking of having a musical hobby, Sosohanmusic can be a good start. <PowerKorea>
