In the post-WWII era, the Korean martial arts were consolidated and experienced a period of growth on the entire Korean peninsula. A number of different organizations came into existence, each with its own name, such as Soo Bahk Do, Tang Soo Do, and Tae Soo Do. Despite the widespread popularity of Tang Soo Do, the Korean government was concerned that it could be construed as a Chinese martial art due to the first word “Tang” referencing the Chinese Tang Dynasty. To combat this, a government-sponsored group was formed in 1964 to create the new name Tae Kwon Do for the martial arts. This ensured that the martial arts would be seen as a Korean art and remain distinct from its Chinese counterparts.

A crescendo is a gradual increase in volume in music or any other situation. It is often used by composers to indicate that the music should become louder and more intense over time. In non-musical contexts, it is used to describe a situation in which the volume is gradually increasing, such as when more people enter a room and the conversation becomes louder. Occasionally, a crescendo is so significant that it is simply referred to as ‘the crescendo.’ At Crescendo Academy of Music, we strive to provide accessible music lessons and classes to everyone, and our teaching artists and performers are committed to helping every student grow and enjoy their music.
