Music For The Love Of It is written for adult amateur and professional musicians. It aims to communicate solid information and stimulating ideas in an accessible style, and to promote amateur participation in the arts, especially music-making.

Looking for articles with a focus on essays, historical accounts, how-to, and personal experiences. No concert or cd reviews.

The typical readers are mature, well educated, and musically literate. Some are highly accomplished musicians, all are great enthusiasts. Many of them have taken up or returned to music as adults, and are eager to make up for lost time. They include choral, orchestral, operatic, chamber, jazz, rock and folk musicians as well as composers and conductors. Please write to interest musicians in general, even if your topic is specialized.

Themes often used:
* Returning to music
* Practice tips
* Ensemble tips
* Reviews of music workshops, retreats and holidays
* Cultivating musicianship and musicality
* Building technical facility and endurance
* Health aspects of music-making: hearing conservation, muscle and joint health
* Controlling stage fright
* Recreational music-making
* Community youth and adult music programs
* Music-related book reviews (not CD or concert reviews, please)
* Music-oriented travel

New topics that should be explored:
* Joining an orchestra or chorus
* Forming an amateur ensemble
* Building an instrument
* Returning to performing as an amateur after a professional career
* Learning a new instrument or musical genre
* Getting the best out of a coach or teacher
* Profile of a long-standing amateur ensemble
* Profile of a memorable amateur musician
* History of a notable music workshop
* Personal experiences of a music workshop leader

The publication encourages strong opinions, but will not publish pans or rants. Please support your negative opinions with specific evidence and temper them with constructive observations. Please do not use your article to promote a concert, product or service: we will be happy to describe commercial offerings of interest to our readers in the "In Box" section, or sell you a display ad.

Try to illustrate your main points with quotations, pictures, anecdotes, dialogue or music quotes. Can typeset music notation and can scan sharp photos or graphics.

Length is flexible, but most of our readers prefer short articles (800 words or less). Please include a brief autobiography. Deadlines are normally the first of February, April, June, August and October. Please let the editor know if you have something in the works.
