CALL FOR PAPERS - EXTENDED DEADLINE
The editors of Early Child Development and Care wish you the best
health. We know that all of you are coping with the Covid-19 pandemic
differently, and this includes changes in work and home lives. At
this unprecedented time, we feel it is important to reach out and
connect with you and let you know that we understand that you, like
us, are not conducting business as usual. Some of you are even more
overburdened than usual, moving courses online and working full time
from home, sometimes with children doing schoolwork from home as well.
We recognise that normal due dates probably aren't feasible during
this period. Therefore, we publish herein an extended initial
deadline for submission for September 1 2020 (replacing the previously
published May 2020 deadline).
Please take the time to finish up a manuscript and submit it to our
Special Issue titled:
Music In The Lives Of Young Children.
Best Wishes.
Warren Brodsky & Ioulia Papageorgi (Co-Ediors)

The journal Early Child Development and Care (Taylor & Francis) is
happy to announce a "Call For Papers" to be included in a special
issue titled: "Music In The Lives Of Young Children". The special
issue will target music and its significance in young children's lives
with a focus on music education and the musical experience of
pre-school children. The Guest Co-Editors of this special issue are
Professor Warren Brodsky, Director of the Music Science Lab in the
Arts Department at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (Beer-Sheva,
Israel) and Professor Ioulia Papageorgi (Associate Professor and
Associate Dean, School of Humanities and Social Sciences, University
of Nicosia, Cyprus). Authors from all related fields such as Music
Education, Musical Development, Music Psychology, Ethnomusicology,
Anthropology and Sociology of Music, and Music Therapy, are invited to
submit original unpublished manuscripts describing empirical
investigations for consideration.
Among topics describing music education and the musical experience of
pre-school children are: music teaching and learning, classroom and
studio pedagogy, formal and informal contexts, as well as private and
group instruction. Among possible topics describing music experiences
of pre-school children, are: psychological aspects of musical skill
and development (related to listening, performing, memory, analysis),
and the power of music to enhance general childhood development and
care (related to cognitive development, social development, motor
development, emotional development, and health and well-being).
Projects investigating parental music engagement, musical experiences
in the home, the impact (benefits and costs) of media saturation,
music devices, the use of mobile applications, and soundscape studies,
are encouraged. Studies seeking to re-evaluate musical development
stage theory (i.e., validate or refute accepted stages of normal
musical development published prior to year 2000) are welcome. The
journal is a multidisciplinary publication with a readership of
psychologists, educators, psychiatrists, pediatricians, and social
workers.
The Journal publishes papers in all aspects of early child development
and care, including descriptive and evaluative articles, as well as
experimental and observational studies. Papers which relate
specifically to the construction, validation, or evaluation of
psychometric devices, measuring instruments, and scales, are not
normally published; exceptions may be made if such information is
essential in the context of a substantive research paper. All research
articles in the journal undergo a rigorous peer review by at least two
anonymous referees.
