Aims and Scope

 

The International Journal of Community Music is a refereed journal that publishes research articles, practitioners’ reports and book reviews concerning all dimensions of community music. 

 

The editorial board includes leading international scholars and practitioners with broad experiences and specialties in different aspects of community music. Taken together, their expertise represents the wide scope of this field.

 

Understandably, the most frequent question is: what is ‘community music’? IJCM holds an open concept of community music. That is, we suggest that community music may be thought of in a variety of ways, including (but not limited to): music teaching–learning interactions (for all people of all ages, ability levels and interests) outside ‘formal’ music institutions (e.g., public schools, university music departments, conservatories, symphony orchestras), and/or partnerships between formal institutions and community music programmes.

 

The aim of IJCM is to provide an international forum for scholars and practitioners (among many other possibilities):

• document past and present community music programmes;

• develop theoretical foundations for various kinds/dimensions of community music;

• examine and report local, regional and international community music partnerships;

• formulate and/or report new concepts of and/or strategies for specific kinds of community music.

 

Please contact the editors with proposals for guest-editing, special issues or book reviews.
