Please check out this article about her, titled, "Musician's Get Hurt A Lot: Paging Dr. Serap Bastepe-Gray"
I wanted to highlight her since not many might know about her. Currently located in Baltimore. Her husband is also a fellow guitar teacher at Peabody. Please read the article linked on here, it is worth the read. Can't thank her enough for the substantial amount of work she is doing to further the field of music and medicine through John Hopkins. <3
Dr. Bastepe-Gray, a physician and virtuoso guitarist, moved to the United States from Turkey in 1992 to study spinal cord regeneration as a visiting scholar at the Medical College of Pennsylvania.
She graduated from the Peabody Conservatory with a bachelor and masters in Guitar Performance in 1996 and 1999. She holds an M.D. from Hacettepe University in Ankara, Turkey, and an MScOT from Towson University.
