About the Journal

The International Journal of Music Mediation (IJMM) is an interdisciplinary, English-language, double-blind peer-reviewed open access journal dealing with music mediation as a hybrid discipline in all its facets. The core of the journal consists of scholarly articles that reflect the most current state of the academic discourse. In addition, the journal is open to practice reflections, interviews by and with practitioners from the field, portraits and conference reports in order to facilitate an exchange between research and practice. Book reviews promote awareness and critical engagement with relevant, current literature on the topic.

No. 1 (2024): Doing Music Mediation. International Perspectives on a Multi-Faceted Practice
Cover of the first issue of the International Journal of Music Mediation (IJMM) - 24/1

Despite being a relatively new practice, music mediation has already garnered substantial research attention. However, most scholarly findings have primarily circulated within national contexts. Recent efforts to internationalize research on music mediation include the publication of the anthology “Tuning Up! The Innovative Potential of Musikvermittlung” (Chaker/Petri-Preis 2022) and the organization of two conferences: “Rencontres Internationales sur les Médiations de la Musique” (Université de Montréal, 2022) and “Turning Social! On the Social Transformative Potential of Music Mediation” (University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna, 2023). The establishment of the International Journal of Music Mediation (IJMM) aims to build upon these initial steps towards internationalization and to further advance this trajectory. The aim of the first issue is to develop a common understanding of music mediation.
