Scope
Aims, scope and focus
MusPed:Research publishes research on topics within music pedagogy. In particular, specific music pedagogical topics and questions will be considered, as well as topics in the intersection between disciplines, subject areas and research areas that are usually kept apart in educational and research contexts, yet are intertwined elements in music educational practices in early childhood institutions, schools, higher education and society at large. The series aims to contribute to new knowledge across alignments and traditions, and to inspire dialogue between researchers and educators from different cultures within the broad landscape of music education.
