Fagotto Editions
was founded in 1984. Right from the start,
it brought a new perspective to the way of
learning music. Books full of life and enjoyment,
with the complement of auxiliary acoustic
material (audio tapes then, CD today), opened
the way to amateur musicians, concerning the
approach of the organ they were interested
in. All books are based on the understanding
that music is not a forbidden ground for the
non specialists, neither is its learning an
ascetic occupation of few.
Today, the way we study music changes, because
music itself changes. New kinds of music emerge,
new organs are invented. The tendency to different
music cultures taking part equally in the
international music stage is strengthened.
Technology transforms the music field. Computers,
virtual reality and Internet discover new
possibilities for composition, performance,
production, storing and management of the
musical creation. What is the basic music
knowledge that has to be transmitted to the
student and to the lover of music in the 21st
century? What competences should the student
develop, so that he can come up to the contemporary
musical demands? What are the most adequate
ways to the lover of music considering the
research of basic concepts and the principles
of the music system?
Fagotto Editions responds to these questions
by offering, to an audience interested in
music, books that correspond today's demands.
It is not by chance that some titles are taught
in different Universities (Athens, Macedonia,
Thessalia, Aristotle, Ionian), as well as
in Schools of Music. The Ministry of Education
included several titles as reference books
to the School Libraries. |
