Resonance: An Interdisciplinary Music Journal invites submissions about or relating to music. As the purpose of the journal is to explore a broad spectrum of discussions on musical topics, Resonance welcomes all contributions that support this objective. Resonance also seeks to serve the community of young scholars by providing a forum through which their ideas can be shared with the community at large. Therefore, contributors must be either graduate or professional students at any stage of their educational careers, or alumni/alumnae who have earned their final degree objectives within the last three years of their journal submissions.
