Response to Yiannis Miralis, "Manos Hadjidakis: The Story of an Anarchic Youth and a "Magnus Eroticus""
Helfer, Jason
Philosophy of Music Education Review, v12 n1 p84-88 Spr 2004
There are two issues that struck the author, Jason Helfer, as essential from his consideration of Miralis' paper and the ideas of Manos Hadjidakis: Eros as a pedagogical idea and learner interactions in the music classroom. These ideas developed from his interpretation of Miralis' paper, from his experiences in teacher training, and teaching in the public schools. In this article, he examines each in turn, after a brief recapitulation of Hadjidakis' ideology. He concludes that Manos Hadjidakis influenced his culture through his artistic and political work. The account that Miralis gives of his work provides ample food for thought on the ideas of Eros as a pedagogical tool while a reconsideration of learner interactions in the music classroom are ripe for further conversation. It is through this conversation that Hadjidakis' ideas may further illuminate what is indeed beautiful and good about music and music education. (Contains 13 notes.)
