Through the case of Kostas Zafiriou, information concerning the musical life of Agiassos and Lesvos during the second half of the 20th century is presented. Today, Kostas Zafiriou is still a permanent resident of Agiassos and, besides being a musician, he is also a teacher of santuri at Anagnostirio of Agiassos "I anaptixi".

The research data of this thesis emerged from the fieldwork research conducted in Agiassos from November 2017 to April 2018, in conjunction with relevant
bibliographic sources. During the fieldwork research, the researcher attended Kosta Zafiriou's santouri lessons to a student of Anagnostirio, and then he attended lessons of santouri and repertoire himself, adopting the role of a student.

In addition to the teaching work of Kostas Zafiriou, an important part of this thesis focused on information about music life in Lesvos during the second half of the 20th century, according to the narratives of Kostas Zafiriou who was also one of the leading figures of this period.

It has continued throughout the 20 th century with the inclusion of other "non-classical" genres such as popular and world music. In Greece, the inclusion of traditional instruments in the curriculum of public Music Secondary Schools occurred in 1988. This happened for the first time officially in a state educational institute. This fact led researchers to investigate how folk musicians of the past learned and transmitted their art. This article explores the teaching methods used by a 70-year-old santouri (Greek hammered dulcimer) player on a Greek island in the North Aegean Sea. Although the musician mentioned above had learned his art through the traditional oral method of apprenticeship, he held a teaching position in an educational institute of formal music education, a very different context from the one he learned. The authors aim to investigate how the context of an organized music lesson may affect how a folk musician of the past generation tries to transmit his art to youngsters by teaching. Furthermore, the record of his teaching methods can be useful to younger teachers of Greek traditional instruments, but it can also contribute to the broader discussion of informal music learning.

Κατά την περίοδο αυτή, εκπαιδευτικοί όλων των βαθμίδων, προσπάθησαν να διατηρήσουν επαφή με τους μαθητές τους και να συνεχίσουν τη διδασκαλία τους, αξιοποιώντας τεχνολογίες σύγχρονης και ασύγχρονης εξ αποστάσεως εκπαίδευσης. Η παρούσα έρευνα αποτελεί μία προσπάθεια απολογισμού των όσων συνέβησαν την περίοδο αυτή στα 48 Μουσικά Σχολεία της χώρας, σχετικά με την εξ αποστάσεως διδασκαλία των μουσικών οργάνων, τα οποία και αποτελούν μέρος του Προγράμματος Σπουδών των εν λόγω σχολείων. Στην έρευνα συμμετείχαν 87 εκπαιδευτικοί που δίδαξαν όργανα κατά το σχολικό έτος 2019-2020 και απάντησαν σε σχετικό ερωτηματολόγιο. Τα στοιχεία που παρουσιάζονται επικεντρώνεται στην καταγραφή της μεθοδολογίας που ακολούθησαν οι εκπαιδευτικοί αυτοί, καθώς και των διάφορων προβλημάτων που εμφανίσθηκαν κατά τη διαδικασία αυτή.

During this period, educators of all levels attempted to maintain contact with their students and teach remotely, mainly through synchronous and asynchronous distance-learning technologies, despite their lack of previous experience. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the actions that took place in the 48 Public Music Secondary Schools of the country during these two months. These actions were pertinent to the tutoring of musical instruments which is a basic part of the school curriculum. The participants were 87 instrumental music teachers, who worked in this type of school during the school year 2019-2020 and responded to a relevant questionnaire. Through this study, the researchers aim to record the methodologies followed by these teachers, exploring the benefits as well as the problems that arose during this process and providing suggestions that could contribute to the improvement of distance music education in the future.
