Παιδαγωγική - διδακτική βυζαντινής μουσικής

Abstract

The education (pedagogical) -teaching process for Byzantine music, though extremely important in its hermeneutical approach, has not been organized in a complete educational system, to this very day. The lack of such a system has led to the composition of this dissertation, which is based upon certain definite scientific data. First of all, the first motives and observations that we have available on musical education are being investigated and evaluated. To be exact, it concerns the most important texts written by the Greek Church Authors, as well as the theoretical textbooks of the Byzantine era. Naturally, the indication of the aforementioned elements is only introductory.The main body of this dissertation is referring to a primary modern application of an experimental Educational Programme of the Ministry of Education and Religious Affairs in the category of the Operational Programmes for Education and Initial Vocational Training (OPEIVT). Its applications, in research, in education, and its references to the education (pedagogical) - teaching of the Byzantine music, constitute the presupposition to evaluate this particular experience and the drawing up of a digitization and database plan. The actions and results of the Programme in combination with structures and modern technological means for the Educational Programme OPEIVT, in which distinguished professors have taught, have completed the digitization of a great volume of Educational Programmes and lessons of the OPEIVT.The creation of a digitization database and the administration of the material, as well as their analysis with the drawing out of questions, and finally, the creation of diagrams, constitute the completion of the evaluation of the OPEIVT. All these digital applications contribute to the now modern investment of the utilization of an Educational Programme, setting the foundations for a modern perspective of pedagogical-teaching of the Byzantine music, and that is being promoted digital through this dissertation.
