History
Launched in 2010 through the devoted efforts of its founding editor, Matthew Balensuela, the Journal of Music History Pedagogy (JMHP) was conceived to affirm pedagogical scholarship as a foundational component of musicological research. At its inception, the Journal was published on the free, open-source Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform and hosted by the American Musicological Society. The Journal became an official publication of the AMS in 2019. To better reflect the diversity of its content, which spans historical musicology, music theory, ethnomusicology, and interdisciplinary subjects, the Journal was renamed the Journal of Musicology Pedagogy in 2025.
