Revue de L'Association Canadienne des Harmonies • The Journal of the Canadian Band Association
Canadian Winds is the professional journal of the Canadian Band Association. It is published bi-annually, in the fall and spring. The first issue of the journal was released in the fall of 2002.
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:

-
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.
-
