Call for Papers

Research Perspectives in Music Education (RPME) is the official refereed research journal of the Florida Music Educators' Association. Its Editorial Committee is seeking manuscripts for publication. The journal publishes music education research using qualitative and/or quantitative methodologies and manuscripts of a philosophical, historical, or theoretical nature. Reviews of literature with critical synthesis are also considered. In all cases, implications for music educators must be included. For details, please see the  Instructions to Contributors.
