REDU educational online platform for Greece's folk gyitar
The REDU platform, whose name derives from the initials of the English words Rembetiko EDUcational, is the first online educational platform with an exclusive theme of urban folk music. That is, the rebetiko.
It is an idea of the musician Dimitris Mystakidis that started during the quarantine period and its first phase was implemented after 2.5 years, with the support of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) and the "digital actions" program of the Ministry of Culture. The idea was born after realizing that many people who are interested in studying this music, for various reasons do not have access to the live educational process. The platform is interactive, i.e. the user can choose to listen to any of the instruments of the new recording, to intervene in the speed of the song, to see the sheet music from whichever instrument he chooses to listen to, but also to read historical information about each song, watch detailed tutorial videos and read the morphological and modal analysis of the song. Anyone who is not interested in the educational part can simply enjoy the new arrangments of songs recorded by top contemporary musicians and singers. All the above elements are also translated into English. The first phase that is completed, concerns the work of the guitarist and composer of rebetiko Kostas Skarvelis and mainly concerns guitarists, but it can also be useful to all those involved in the genre. The use of the platform is free for everyone. The link: https://redu.gr/en/ |
