Articles should be well written containing information that is
precise, accurate and thoroughly documented. The topic should be
well-defined, supported and developed with a clear purpose. Authors
should provide evidence to support their views. The following should
also be taken into consideration:
- Topic should
have national relevance and interest many readers.
- Article should
offer new knowledge or insight.
- Articles
should challenge reader’s thinking and where appropriate present
both sides of an issue.
- Topic should
not be too narrow or broad. For example, “Guidelines for Teaching
the Beginning Double Bassist” is overly broad. It would be more
desirable to examine one particular aspect of teaching beginning bass
students, such as whether students should sit on a stool or
stand.
- Feature
articles may not promote one particular person.
- Material may
not previously have been published in a national journal.
- Articles may
not promote products or commercial programs. An author may mention
his/her studio, school or ensemble only in the context of one example
among many. Mentioning programs or products should be solely for the
sake of example to highlight a point in the article. Articles that
single out one person, method, program, event or ensemble are unlikely
to be accepted for publication.
