Journal of the Musical Arts in Africa

The Journal of the Musical Arts in Africa, produced in collaboration with the South African College of Music at University of Cape Town, will henceforth also be published by NISC. The young journal, currently in its fourth volume, aims to combine ethnomusicological, musicological, music educational and performance-based research in a unique way to promote the musical arts on the African continent. Other than publishing research, the journal provides practical suggestions for music teachers as well as general arts and culture practitioners on instrumental and vocal training, and publishes audio and audiovisual media on a supplementary DVD.

The journal is online, free to subscribers, at www.informaworld.com/rmaa
