Aims and Scope

The International Journal of Music in Early Childhood (IJMEC) is an interdisciplinary forum directed at the empirical study of music in early childhood, or pre-birth to age 8. The journal welcomes research-based contributions from fields such as music education, music therapy, community music, psychology, ethnomusicology, anthropology, sociology, history, philosophy, childhood studies and social work, that are concerned with diverse aspects relating to music in the lives of young children.

IJMEC publishes original research reports, best practice papers, case studies of specific programmes, critical literature reviews, and book/media reviews. Areas covered will include young children's development in and through music, pedagogical theories and tools for practitioners and researchers, early childhood music education policy, and music therapy for infants and young children.

The journal explores music in settings such as daycares, preschools and other educational spaces, as well as within families, peer groups and the community.

The International Journal of Music in Early Childhood is published in partnership with the Early Childhood Music & Movement Association.

Formerly published as Perspectives: Journal of the Early Childhood Music & Movement Association, 2006–2018 (ISSN: 2375-3374, Online ISSN: 2375-3382).
