The purpose of the Journal of Music Teacher Education, a peer-reviewed journal, is to disseminate information about the National Association for Music Education’s Society for Music Teacher Education (SMTE) and the ways that SMTE can strengthen teacher education, to serve as a clearinghouse for ideas among professors of music education, and to effect a sense of unity among them. The journal, a publication of NAfME, welcomes manuscripts for possible publication.
Unless specifically noted, articles in JMTE do not necessarily represent the official policy of the National Association for Music Education.
When submitting an article, contributors should adhere to the following guidelines:
Two general types of submissions are considered: projects producing new data (research articles) and papers having underpinnings in research, but not resulting in new data, that expand the knowledge base of the profession (interest articles). Research manuscripts may use a variety of methodologies, including philosophical, historical, quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods. All manuscripts must be related to music teacher education, and all research manuscripts should include discussion of implications for teacher educators.
All manuscripts should include a double-spaced abstract of approximately 150 words; authors should also submit key words that reflect manuscript content. The main body of the manuscript, including narrative, references, and any tables or figures (all double-spaced), should not exceed 20 pages in length. Manuscript style should conform to the 6th edition of the Publications Manual of the American Psychological Association (2010) and follow the National Association for Music Education’s (NAfME) Publication/Presentation Code of Ethics (http://www.nafme.org/my-classroom/journals-magazines/journal-of-research-in-music-education-code-of-ethics/). As part of the online submission cover letter, authors of manuscripts based on human subject research must report how they satisfied institutional and federal regulations in the treatment of study participants.
Manuscripts should be submitted with all institutional names or other identifying information removed from the body of the article to facilitate blind review.
Music examples, figures, photographs, and other illustrations must be checked for accuracy before submission. If any copyrighted materials are used, documentation verifying that the author has permission to use the material must be included. Please complete and submit a Request for Permission to Reprint Materials form (https://www.sagepub.com/sites/default/files/upm-binaries/26379_RequestForPermissionForm.pdf).
Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to publish any author-submitted photographs or illustrations, and written permission to SAGE of a parent or guardian of any minor pictured is needed before such images are published. Please complete and submit an Audio/Visual Likeness Release form (https://www.sagepub.com/sites/default/files/upm-binaries/45820_Audio_Visual_Likeness_Release_Form.pdf).

Authors are encouraged to review the NAfME Strategic Plan (http://www.nafme.org/wp-content/files/2014/06/Strategic-Plan_revised-2016.pdf) to consider ways in which their manuscript might address one or more areas of the strategic plan (Research, Advocacy, Serving the Profession and the Music Educator, and NAfME Organizational Vitality).
