HELLO, I'M
Konstantinos Giannos.
PhD Candidate in Musicology and Cellist
Konstantinos Giannos
Music Studies PhD in Aristotle University of Thessaloniki
About
MY BACKGROUND
Practicing and learning music since a very young age, my passion for music is always growing. I carry this passion now in my research regarding the perception and cognition of music. Apart from the academic path, I also find joy in playing and teaching music theory and cello.
Research interests
Music Perception
Cognitive Musicology
Computational models for music
Music Theory and Analysis
