Here’s a summary of what the Fall 2025 issue contains.
Music Practice & Performance
When our motivation to practice ebbs, affirmations can unleash our creative powers. One article in this issue provides ten affirmations that energize music practice.
In tandem with self-motivation, expert musicians also play or sing with ease. Follow this link to the Fall 2025 issue for a list of ways to cultivate ease in practice and performance.
Ease makes unbridled artistry possible, and it’s also a facet of injury prevention. Still, it’s only one component of health management for musicians. In this issue, you’ll find occupational health resources for instrumentalists and singers alike.
Music Educator Tools
Coupled with health resources, music educators will benefit from articles addressing feedback strategies and connected arts learning.
Additional content explores ways to boost student retention as well as employ The Musician’s Way in curricula.
Protected Species Travel Tips
Many of our instruments contain wood, ivory, shell, or other materials that are restricted in international trade. Without proper permits, musicians carrying such instruments across borders could have their instruments seized.
Using the resources in this issue, readers can stay up to date on protected species regulations and learn how to obtain any required permits.
News, Insights & Inspiration
From investigations into the subtleties of music notation to a milestone in audio recording to an uplifting story about a rusty musician returning to music, readers can enjoy a range of insightful articles.
Entrepreneurial artists and administrators will also want to know about newly published research that points to ways in which musicians and arts organizations can expand their impacts and audiences.
