==Academic career==
In the late 1950s, Forte taught music at various New York institutions: [[Teachers College, Columbia University|Columbia University Teachers College]], [[Manhattan School of Music]], and [[Mannes College The New School for Music|Mannes College of Music]]. In fall 1959 he began his long-term appointment at [[Yale University|Yale]], where he eventually became the Battell Professor of Music (retiring in 2003).<ref>David Carson Berry, "Journal of Music Theory under Allen Forte’s Editorship," ''Journal of Music Theory'' 50/1 (2006), 9-10; and Berry, "Our Festschrift for Allen: An Introduction and Conclusion," in ''A Music-Theoretical Matrix: Essays in Honor of Allen Forte'' (Part V), ed. David Carson Berry, ''Gamut'' 6/2 (2013), 3.</ref> He was influential there as both scholar and teacher, and in the latter capacity served as advisor to seventy-two Ph.D. dissertations completed between 1968 and 2002. (Yale did not offer a Ph.D. in theory for the first several years Forte was there.) A list of all his advisees and their dissertation titles appears in [http://trace.tennessee.edu/gamut/vol2/iss1/ David Carson Berry, "The Twin Legacies of a Scholar-Teacher: The Publications and Dissertation Advisees of Allen Forte," Gamut 2/1 (2009), 197-222]. The list is ordered chronologically by submission, and each advisee is given an "FA" number to denote his or her ordering among the advisees. ("FA" stands for "Forte Advisee," and is also a retrograde of Allen Forte's initials.)

Forte taught at the [[Massachusetts Institute of Technology]] 1967–68 on integrating music theory with computer systems.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://cdn.libraries.mit.edu/dissemination/diponline/AC0069_NewReleases/NewsRelease_1960/AC0069_1967/AC0069_196705_023.pdf |title=News Office (AC0069) |publisher=MIT Institute Archives & Special Collections.
