Biography

Gürel born in 1987, commenced his musical education at Bursa High School Conservatory.

In 2009, he earned a Bachelor's degree from Uludag University's Faculty of Education, Music Education Department.

In 2011, Gürel completed his postgraduate thesis on "The Application of Ornamentation Techniques in Violin Education for Turkish Music Violin Performance and the Creation of Exercises" at the Department of Music Education in Gazi University's Institute of Educational Sciences.

That same year, he began his role as a professor at the Instrument Training Department of Ankara Gazi University's Turkish Music State Conservatory.

In 2016, he achieved a PhD from Gazi University's Institute of Fine Arts, Department of Turkish Music, with a thesis on "Analysis of **Nubar Tekyay's Violin Taksims" (Transcription and Analysis of Performances in Turkish Makam Music).

**Nubar Tekyay (1905-1955) is widely considered a master violinist in the realm of Turkish makam music.

Throughout his career, Gürel has performed violin recitals and ensemble concerts, led workshops, and presented seminars and conferences in 47 cities across 33 countries.

As a violinist, Gürel recorded an album on "The Great Composer Buhurizade Mustafa Itri (1640-1712)," featuring contributions from the Ataturk Culture, Language, and History Institution of the Turkish Republic's Prime Ministry in Ankara, Turkey.

Moreover, he has conducted seminars and hands-on makam workshops for primary and secondary school students at the ITU Turkish Music State Conservatory in Istanbul, Turkey.

From 2017 to 2018, Gürel took responsibility for developing the curriculum for the "Elective Violin Lesson," which was introduced for the first time in secondary schools for Years 5 through 8 by the Ministry of Education.

In 2018 and 2019, he played the violin in the "Anadolu Makam" Turkish Makam music ensemble at Anadolu University, State Conservatory in Turkey.

In 2019, he was invited to Bath Spa University and the University of Bristol in the UK, where he delivered lectures in postgraduate and doctoral programmes, held workshops and violin recitals, and participated in research seminars.

The University of Bristol in the UK described Gürel as an "extraordinary teacher and scholar". 

In 2019, he was invited to present seminars as a guest speaker at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia.

He also took part as a violin-voice performer in ITU, MIAM studio recordings, and concerts featuring new compositions by Indian composer Sandeep Bhagwati and Uzbekistani composer Jakhongir Shukur.

Gürel's transcriptions were performed by the Hezarfen Ensemble in Barcelona, Spain, and Istanbul, Turkey.

As of 2022, Gürel is a member and violinist of the transcultural contemporary music ensemble, Hezarfen Ensemble, where he concentrates on transcultural music.

** Hezarfen Ensemble burst onto the Turkey music scene in 2010, bringing the performance of contemporary music to Turkey's rich musical landscape while providing a much-needed platform to the many superb composers of the 21st-century Turkish composing scene. They perform the sound world of much Turkish, Central Asian and North African music brought into a contemporary music context. They all utilise makam instruments and performers and the written and audio-visual resources of Hezarfen Ensemble's five-year "Beyond East and West" ERC project on Turkish instruments in their writing process.

In 2023, Gürel embarked on the "Mosaics of Turkish Makam Music" project, setting forth on an all-encompassing journey across Europe. As part of this expedition, Gürel delivered an array of violin performances, collaborated in ensemble renditions, and undertook studio recordings at renowned establishments such as the Bath Spa University in England, the University of Macedonia in Thessaloniki, Greece, Taller De Músics, Escola Superior D'estudis Musicals in Barcelona, Spain, and the Yunus Emre Institute in Vienna, Austria. Beyond his performances, Gürel led workshops, delving into the sophistication of Turkish style violin playing, the fundamentals of makam-oriented melodic progression, the methodology of transcription, and the subtleties of musical ornamentation and embellishment.

Gürel, in 2023, conducted workshop sessions and gave a violin recital, upon the invitation of the Music Department at the University of Cambridge, which ranks among the top five universities in the world in England.

As of 2023, Gürel serves as a violinist in the 'Ensemble Śabdagatitāra' an intercultural music ensemble based in Canada.

(Ensemble Śabdagatitāra comprises academician-artists from Canada, Germany, Italy, China, Chile, Taiwan, Bulgaria, and Turkey.)

Ensemble Sabdagatitāra is renowned for its daring and innovative approach to various instruments and vocal styles. The ensemble constructs musical connections between seemingly disparate worlds, delving into blends of genres and cultures to push the boundaries of contemporary music.

In 2024, as a member of the intercultural contemporary music ensemble 'Ensemble Śabdagatitāra', he participated as a violinist and vocalist in five concerts in Montreal and Toronto during the ensemble's Canadian tour.

In recognition of his academic and artistic achievements, Gürel was awarded the title of "Associate Professor" in 2022.

As an educator, he shares his knowledge and expertise in violin, recital repertoire, and Turkish Makam music theory with undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral students.

Alongside teaching, Gürel continues to pursue academic endeavours in violin performance and pedagogy, transcription, performance analysis, and the theory of Turkish Makam music.

* “The Mosaics of Makam Music”  Project.

"The Mosaics of Makam Music" is an international project coordinated by Gürel and based in both the UK and Turkey. As of 2023, he continues to oversee this project. The project features the performance of oral and instrumental pieces by Turkish, Arabic, Persian, Crimean, Polish, Greek, Armenian, and Egyptian composers who hold a significant place in the history of Turkish music from the 15th to the 20th centuries.

Furthermore, the project team conducts workshops on Makam/Melodic Progression, Transcription/Ornamentation, Vocal Performance Techniques, and Traditional Rhythms. In addition, the team presents a research seminar titled "Principles of Microtonality in Turkish Makam Music".

Practical Makam Teaching by GÜREL: The Anatolian Edvar Tradition

In his workshops, Gürel teaches a method centred on the "melodic progression" aspect of the Anatolian Edvar Tradition, which views Turkish Makam music theory as stemming from the relationships between notes. This pedagogical approach includes practical and concise descriptions. Participants learn Turkish Makam music through hands-on practice in a one-hour master-apprentice setting and actively engage by embodying a pitch. The workshops are designed to be easy to understand and enjoyable.

Gürel Transcriptions

GÜREL Transcriptions: Initiated by Murat GÜREL in 2015, this system has been employed in over 25 countries, with a primary focus on the international scene. Extensive work has been conducted with students, performers, and academics outside the Turkish makam music tradition. The main objective of these transcriptions is to modernise and develop the centuries-old "meşk" method, traditionally used in Turkish makam music, transforming it into a notation-supported "meşk".

GÜREL's transcriptions are notable for their incorporation of English terms and abbreviations, which serve to identify, label, and simplify the understanding of the ornamentation techniques and expressive elements that constitute the performance style. In GÜREL transcriptions, while microtonal or moving pitches are transcribed, they are regarded as "pitch zones". The practice of moving pitches is executed through imitation and repetition within the master-apprentice relationship.

As a result, participants gain first-hand experience with the ornamentation techniques, elements of expression, dynamics, and use of moving notes in the Turkish music tradition. This is facilitated through practical teaching methods. GÜREL's approach streamlines and simplifies the learning process, making it more accessible and easy to understand.

A Scholarly Paper on Gürel's Pedagogy and Methodologies for Transcribing Music within the Context of Turkish Makam Music:

 ...the genius of Gürel’s teaching revealed itself when he taught the transcription not by playing and reading only, but by a combination of singing first to, then with the players in solfége, then singing on the syllable "of", then playing on his violin, all in rapid succession. Each motive in the piece was numbered, making rehearsal intensive and efficient, even when going around the room to hear each player individually. An intercultural gap was being filled by, in essence, combining makam and Western approaches: intensive aural learning mixed with a detailed notational aid. After a few more sessions, players were able to play some of these passages convincingly...The depth of learning was remarkable...For musicians who do read detailed notation at very high levels, Gürel’s transcriptions were the equivalent of boarding an express train towards a destination rather than walking...The exact sound of that something can be learned by ear with repetition and effective explanation. Seeing the transcribed makam music made our musicians appreciation of the depth of nuance included in makam music reach a new level, which was coupled with the joy of actually making conscious, tangible progress...It equipped each musician, after several transcriptions like this, to be able to go back to traditional makam notation with no ornamentation written, to hear better what was being done by experienced players, and to begin to create their own.
