Aims & Scope:
 

Canadian Winds/Vents canadiens publishes a wide range of articles related to wind band activity, broadly construed. The journal seeks to be both a scholarly and pedagogical publication, accessible to all instrumental music educators. Although the primary readership is Canadian, with articles focussed on issues salient to Canadian contexts, the journal aspires to be outward-looking, providing a forum for dialogue and engagement with the international wind band community.

Articles are refereed by practicing professionals who judge manuscripts on their importance, originality, timeliness, scope, accuracy, and style. Canadian Winds does not publish articles that are promotional or endorsing of products or services.

Information for Authors:
 

Articles submitted for publication should be characterised by:

• Clarity and precision: articles should be in a straightforward, conversational style. Format should adhere closely to the Chicago Manual of Style (Chicago A and Chicago B are both acceptable). Please consult the many free, online sources available.

• Length: articles should normally be 1800-3500 words. Short features of less than 1800 words will be considered, subject to content considerations.

• Usefulness: articles should address the interests of a broad cross-section of more than 2,000 instrumental music educators and community musicians who read the journal.

• Manuscripts with excessive “mechanical” errors (spelling, grammar, etc.) will be returned to authors for revision before being sent to referees for consideration.

​

• Articles should be submitted, via email attachment, to: canadianwinds@canadianband.org

• The author’s name or identifying information should not appear on the manuscript, but should be included in the email.

• Photographs (with photo credit) or graphics are welcome with any submission. All images should be sent as separate attachments and not embedded in the body of the text. Images should generally be no less than 300 dpi.
