I like the idea of editing or contributing to the pansori and pungmul articles (I'm discouraging students from editing "Music in X" articles because they are too broad and don't encourage a deep understanding of any particular musical tradition). You've identified some excellent sources. Note that the sources you list for the "Music in Korea" article could help you with the pansori and pungmul articles too. Be careful with the Lee Kwon article as it focuses on pungmul in the United States, not in Korea. However, it probably starts by talking about pungmul in Korea and that would be useful for your purposes. Travel guides aren't particularly strong sources and they certainly aren't scholarly. This article could be useful to you for both the pansori and pungmul articles. Remember that you can edit more than one article. You may want to focus your attention on one -- let's say that you focus on editing the pansori article -- but as you learn about pansori, you may ALSO learn about pungmul and be able to contribute to that article too. There appears to be a lot more published research on pansori than on pungmul so that might be the easiest option for you. However, be careful about which articles you choose -- for this course, it's not appropriate to focus on scholarship that is about, for example, health or technology. If you're not sure about the suitability of an article, please check it with me. Please note that while it's perfectly fine to talk about instrumentation, that is a relatively basic edit. I will be looking for edits that help to bring more of the setting and significance of a tradition to an article.--CBFraoch (talk) 10:45, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
