About the Journal

Focus and Scope

Dialogues in Music Therapy Education aims to highlight critical conversations around, and innovations in, music therapy education and clinical training through the dissemination of creative and scholarly works. To this end, the journal publishes qualitative, quantitative, mixed methods, arts based, philosophical, theoretical, and historical research. The journal also welcomes letters to the editor, creative works, book reviews, and resource sharing materials. The journal seeks to center the voices of formal and informal educators, students, and those whose perspectives have historically been marginalized. In selecting an open access journal format, we affirm that dialogues can only occur when knowledge, experience, and expertise are freely and equitably shared among interested parties.
