the Dr. Erol Ucer Advanced Studies in Music program of the ITU Center for Advanced Musical Research, the first American-style
graduate music program in Turkey. Teaching duties will generally involve teaching
two graduate seminars and one review harmony class (undergrad. equivalent) each semester, though the specific
