If Andrew were in Seoul I would suggest he contact the poet (retired Korea U English lit professor) Kim Jong-gil who continues with others to compose Classical Chinese Hansi in traditional style every month. If he feels in the mood (liquor helps) he might even recite some poems in the traditional jang (song) style. He began his studies in an Andong Confucian academy and could explain everything in English, too . . .
Failing that, there might be something useful in Richard Rutt's Traditional Korean Poetry Criticism. RASKB Transactions XLVII:105-143. available at

I wonder if there is something useful in Rutt's long study The Chinese Learning and Pleasures of a Country Scholar, an account of Traditional Chinese Studies in Rural Korea. Transactions XXXVI:1-100. http://www.raskb.com/transactions/VOL36/Vol036-1.docx
Richard Rutt includes (I believe) some tunes for reciting Sijo in his lengthy study An Introduction to the Sijo?A Form of Short Korean Poem. Transactions XXXIV:1-88. http://www.raskb.com/transactions/VOL34/Vol034-1.docx
