Korah's descendants served in the temple as which role?

Explanation:
Korah's descendants belonged to a Levitical line known as the Korahites, and they are repeatedly described in Scripture as those who lead in musical worship. In the temple’s organized service, different Levitical families had different roles: priests (from Aaron’s line) carried out sacrifices, some Levites assisted with gates and temple duties, while the Korahites are specifically noted for their role in praise and song. The Psalms attributed to the Sons of Korah (as writers and performers of worship) reflect this calling. So, their contribution to temple life was musical leadership in worship, not priestly officiation, guarding, or scribal work.
