Los Angeles Guitar Academy provides world-class guitar lessons in a wide range of music styles. Their signature programs, classical and Flamenco guitar, have produced excellent musicians who have gained acceptance to top-flight music schools all over the United States. Emre is one of the cofounders of LAGA.

LAGA Online provides world-class instruction in classical, Flamenco, pop/rock, fingerboard theory, pedagogy, and children’s guitar to students from all over the globe. Reflecting LAGA's commitment to bridge cultural divisions through music, LAGA Online has translated its site content into eight languages, which the founders plan to expand in the near future.

The USC Thornton School of Music is one of the premier music schools in the country. Ranking in the top one percent of all music schools and conservatories, Thornton prepares its graduates for success with a rigorous foundation in music, blended with real-world experience.

New England Conservatory True to its core belief that studying music "builds human capacity,"  this school trains its students to use music as a force for positve change in the community. Its highly-renowned faculty members "nurtur[e] individual artistic sensibility and creative growth" in the diverse student body as they pass on the high standards of musicianship that have distinguished NEC graduates throughoout the school's history.

Pi Kappa Lambda National Music Honor Society is an organization which furthers music in education, supports music education in institutions of higher learning which offer programs in music instruction, recognizes scholarship, and encourages musicianship.

“I have always been fascinated by and curious about the ways mathematics and music are related. My master's studies in mathematics with Andreas Tiefenbach fueled my passion on this subject.  My doctoral studies at USC . . .  brought this interest to life as an academic study. As the depth of the research and my knowledge grew, I found answers to some of my questions–many of which opened doors to new questions for future research.”

Emre Sabuncuoğlu, from the foreword to Mathematical Music Theory 

In his doctoral dissertation, Mathematical Music Theory: A Comprehensive Analysis and Comparison of the Major Theoretical Models of the Twentieth Century, Emre Sabuncuoğlu deals squarely with the issue facing music theoreticians, namely, the lack of coherence in even “fundamental issues as pitch classes and labeling” in the various mathematics-based music theory models extant at the time of the thesis’ writing, let alone a sense of agreement among theoreticians on a “unified, comprehensive musical theory field.”

With his goal to find a way to “construc[t] . . . mathematical models that are comprehensive, coherent, and are a unifying generalization,” Sabuncuoğlu examines the structure of mathematical music theory models to help readers understand how mathematics can contribute to music theory, while avoiding the misunderstandings of the past that have been roadblocks to clarity in the field.
