John Pozdro
John Walter Pozdro (August 14, 1923January 1, 2009) was a significant American composer and pedagogue. Baker's Biographical Dictionary of Musicians describes his music as “inherently pragmatic, with tertian torsion resulting in the formation of tastefully enriched triadic harmony, and with asymmetric rhythms enhancing the throbbing pulse of musical continuity.” ==Biography== Pozdro was born in Chicago, Illinois on August 14, 1923 of Polish and German descent. He began taking piano and music theory lessons at an early age with Nina Shafran. From 1941 to 1942, he studied piano and music theory with Edward Joseph Collins at the American Conservatory of Music. After service in the Military Intelligence Division of the U.S. Army, he entered Northwestern University. There, he studied with (Robert Mills Delaney ) and received his Bachelor of Music in 1948 and Master of Music in 1949. He later studied at the Eastman School of Music with Howard Hanson, Bernard Rogers, and Wayne Barlow earning his Ph.D. in Composition in 1958. Pozdro had his first teaching position at the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls from 1949 to 1950. The following summer, he served as a visiting professor at Northwestern University. During his doctoral residence at the Eastman School of Music (1958), he served as a Teaching Fellow. From 1950 to December 1992, when he retired, he was a faculty member of the University of Kansas. He served as the Department Chairman of Theory and Composition at the university from 1961 to 1988. Pozdro served as the chairman of the university’s annual (Symposium of Contemporary American Music ) from 1958 to 1967. He received several research grants from the University of Kansas for projects in theory and composition. He was commissioned by the Ford Foundation, the Oklahoma City Symphony, the Music Teachers National Association, Concerts for Young Audiences, the Washington Performing Arts Society, the Stanton Memorial Foundation, and the (Guild of Carillonneurs in North America ). He participated as chair and panelist at numerous scholarly meetings and was a juror for several national composition competitions.

His article in ''American Music Teacher'' on the nature of nonfunctional tertian harmonic progression was the first such on the subject.
