This study aims to investigate the impact of Korean traditional orchestra activities on middle school students' cooperation and musical self-efficacy. To achieve this, a pre-post survey and focus group interviews were conducted in three middle schools where Korean traditional music orchestra activities were taking place. The results of this study were as follows. First, Korean traditional orchestra activities positively influenced middle school students' overall cooperation, including three sub-factors such as group promotion, followership, and conflict problem-solving. Particularly, it was observed that the elements of group promotion and conflict problem-solving within cooperation were closely related to students actively and independently participating in the practice proces. Second, followership skills of students participating in Korean traditional orchestra increased; however, the interview analysis revealed that the group's goals were not clearly defined. Third, Korean traditional orchestra activities had a positive impact on students' musical self-efficacy in terms of task preference, self-regulation efficacy, and confidence. Students particularly experienced positive influences in the areas of task preference and confidence through improving their skills and achieving small goals. Fourth, among the sub-factors of musical self-efficacy, self-regulation efficacy showed a close association with cooperation.
