"Eniha" - European Union Training Program for the Construction of Music Instruments
One of IEMA's aims is the creation of work placements and training programs concerning the construction of musical instruments. This goal was fulfilled under the project "Eniha" which was financially supported by the Greek ministry of Culture and EU funds. The project was realized between 1991 and 1992.
Response to the program was significant reaching the number of 120 applications for participation. From these twenty students were selected to attend the course which included theoretical (theory of traditional music, development of hearing, listening to instruments etc) and practical approaches to the topic. Three different practical strands were followed: a) string instruments, b) wind instruments and c) multi-string instruments. During the "Eniha" project participation reached the sum of 40 people who are currently working as instrument makers or instructors of instrument making.
